Linus Coppel is the current Doctor Coppelius from Coppelia. He is the father of Fabian Coppel and also considers himself father to Galatea Coppel.

Appearance
Linus is tall, with long, messy black hair and brown eyes. He wears a blue business suit with a green vest. He has a very large nose. Sometimes he dons a white labcoat.

Personality
Linus is a scatterbrained, eccentric, diabolical, and mysterious inventor (or mechanical engineer as he sometimes calls himself) who spends a lot of time in  his workshop. He has a passion for making dolls, and has created many lifelike dolls. His latest and most advanced model to date is Galatea.

Linus sees a lot of potential in his son Fabian, and thinks he'll make a great inventor. He can be a bit of a stage father at times, pushing his children to succeed.

Biography
Linus comes from a long line of German inventors descended from the original Doctor Coppelius. Linus was very young for a Doctor Coppelius when he took his destiny, for his father ended up committing suicide not long before the storty was due to start. Thus he wasn't that much older than Franz and Swanilda. He went along with his story and made it through alive and rich.

Linus was married to a woman named Katja, and the couple had a son named Fabian. Sadly, Katja died of cancer when Fabian was little, thus Linus raised Fabian himself. While he was not busy with Fabian, Linus was building many dolls in his workshop. When Linus was in middle school, he developed Galatea, his most advanced doll. She was not only capable of dancing, but she also had an artificial intelligence matching that of a real human.

Linus initially saw Galatea as a machine meant for entertainment, but came to love her like a daughter. He couldn't bear to sell her to anyone else, so he decided to make her a part of his family. In addition to dancing, Linus taught Galatea to cook, read, write, and do laundry, so she helps him around the house. Linus pushes both Galatea and Fabian to succeed in the things they are good at. He can get carried away with it, but he knows what's best for them.

Family
Linus is close with both Fabian and Galatea, although both of them can be rebellious at times and get annoyed when he pushes them too far.

Friends
Linus doesn't have too many friends due to his somewhat reclusive, Linus considers Franz and Swanilda to be his friends, as they're willing to defend his reputation.
