This is LiveWire, aka Richard Hastings who you may have come-across if you've been looking round the game. He's also a scientist, a geneticist, and he also attended ASU (Axis State University) and although he's a good 6 years older than Stanley, he has got a reputation for being one of the best young scientists that the University has tutored- perhaps they know each other through that? Richard has also done a lot of guest lectures about genetics and the nature of supers.
Which is rather apt as he is one, and has the power to manipulate electricity. It was the research stolen from him and Edward Shaw that began Moretti's own experiments but Richard isn't aware of that. I imagine they could have some really really interesting lines in game!
