Career
He belongs to the Midland family, one of the dynasties associated with the company. He consolidated his position by combining family backing with technical knowledge and management ability. He represents corporate interests before LUME and the FNC government.
Character and interests
Cold, methodical, and focused on business continuity. He values discoveries for their usefulness, controllability, and profitability. He sees superhuman abilities as resources that should be studied, reproduced, and turned into industrial property.
Capabilities
His training allows him to engage with researchers, evaluate experimental programs, and distinguish an exceptional result from an industrially viable process. He is proficient in both the scientific and financial dimensions of the projects he oversees.
Intelligence value
He decides how funding, research, and production capacity are allocated at EDO’s principal EVERYMAN contractor. He offers privileged access to the program’s priorities, results, and industrial dependencies. His cooperation can provide classified information and influence which lines of work receive resources.
Exploitable vulnerabilities
He leaks confidential company information to profit from stock trades made through a front man. Evidence linking him to those gains could be used to blackmail him and compromise his standing within the Midland family.
