Sounds interesting - like a prototype of Fu Manchu, or ally (probably rival) of Fu Manchu? And yes, that scene of a writer wracking his brain for ideas is great.
In the early Fu Manchu books, the Devil Doctor himself was only an advance agent of the Si-Fan sent to terrorize the UK. It was a while before he took over. It's funny to read of Fu Manchu worried about what his bosses back in China will think, when I'm used to thinking of his as the supreme mastermind. But I guess everyone has to climb the corporate ladder.
