Sir David Brewster (11 December 1781 – 10 February 1868) was a Scottish Templar and scientist known for his contributions to the field of optics, being well-recognized as the inventor of the kaleidoscope.

Biography

David Brewster was born the third of a Presbyterian family of six children. By the age of twelve, he was sent to the University of Edinburgh to join the clergy. However, Brewster was more interested in studying optics and the refraction of light and invented the kaleidoscope.

Much later, he joined fellow clergymen to start a scientific magazine The Edinburgh Journal of Science and was knighted by the Queen Victoria and became an opponent of Charles Darwin's evolution theory.

He eventually joined the Templar Order and in February 1868, he was killed by the Assassin Evie Frye while conducting an experiment on a Piece of Eden.
