Everyone knows the doctor that created Mary Shelley in Frankenstein's novel doesn't have a name

Book's within arms reach but can't be bothered reading it cover to cover to confirm... but plausible.

The book is the captain's retelling of the ravings of the doctor as he lies dying on the ship. Followed by his retelling of the monster's story.

I don't recall the doctor's name ever being mentioned.
