Griffin was a scientist who successfully made himself invisible through a chemical experiment. While invisible, he committed various crimes including setting fire to his landlord's house and stealing from shops. He fled to the village of Iping to hide, where his strange invisible actions and theft of a clergyman's money made the villagers suspicious. When confronted, Griffin removed his disguises, revealing to the villagers that he was truly invisible and headless, allowing him to easily escape their attempts to arrest him.
