Frankenstein's assistant (4)
I believe the answer is:
igor
'frankenstein's assistant' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for igor that I've seen before include "Stravinsky, for example" , "Prince of Russian opera" , "Stravinsky, perhaps" , "Prince --, opera by Borodin" , "-- Stravinsky, composer" .)
