HELLO EVERYONE. Lizi here, with heavily anticipated NPC, Dr. Vincent Marler.

He, folks, is responsible for the infection. He's the man who tested on the rat that started the infection. He's the man who spread the infection to the States and forced our kids into the destitute state they're in today.

But you wouldn't know that from looking at him.

No, no; Dr. Marler puts on the act of being a charming, clever Englishman who is friendly beyond belief. In fact, he's been roaming the compound for the last week or so, going under the pseudonym Dr. William Samson, making friends and sharing meals with the very people whose lives he's ruined so thoroughly.

He's also responsible for the abilities that so many of our characters are currently sporting. For the past few years since the infection started, he's been working in private on a drug that awakens the virus' latent capabilities, and that's what he put in the water, and exposed the kids to, to give them their abilities. This, of course, means that he's experimented quite a bit on himself. His list of abilities is quite comprehensive, at enhanced strength, speed, stamina and dexterity; regeneration; telepathy and activation and deactivation. He gives off the guise of not having any, however. In fact, his Dr. Samson persona isn't even immune.

Up until the kids figure out who he is, he'll be circulating among them, keeping up his Dr. Samson persona (and we'd prefer it if, until then, suspicion was kept at a minimum, if possible), and helping out in the infirmary and with Team Science, so if anyone would like to interact with him, let us know at his contact post or in the drop box!
