Name: Doctor Eirik Svein
Age: 53
Gender: M
Profession: Medical Professional, Surgeon
Nationality: Canadian, Commonwealth
Birth Planet: Earth
Appearance: Svein is a large dark man - medium dark complexion, dark graying hair is long and habitually kept neatly back. While he might otherwise be considered handsome, his most notable facial feature is his Bourgerac nose. He stands at 6'1", and while he has a strong stature he is certainly no athlete.
Strengths:
- Analytical mind. He operates on fact, and has a single-mindedly focused on discovery. As such, he has a large breadth of knowledge. He would have worked loosely with scientists out of interest. As a surgeon, he's most familiar with cybernetic implants and infection.
- Vigilant and Cautious. Working in his field, he's developed a preventative attitude towards problems.
- Damn good at his job.
Weaknesses:
- Hubris and Curiosity; Looking for information, and believing that he has his bases covered, he will erroneously seek out what should be left alone.
- Antisocial and Non-cooperative; He isn't keen on listening to anyone else's advice, nor direction, and is unlikely to 'jeopardize' himself for the sake of others, despite that this makes him more vulnerable.
- No physical defense training. He's not a soldier nor a combatant.
Personality: Svein is the epitome of 'singleness of purpose' towards his profession. He comes across as unfriendly and thoughtless, prioritizing success before friends, family, and health. Despite that, he's remarkably soft hearted - particularly towards those that would have been his daughter's age. His one passion outside of work is his coffee, preferring expensive real espresso above any sort of plebian synthetic imitation.
History: As a young upstart surgeon, he made waves among the medical community by installing his daughter with numerous 'experimental' enhancements given that he had the funds and easier access to the technology. What he considered to be the truest expression of love, resulted in a headlining lawsuit, a second vicious custody battle from his divorced wife, and a tarnished reputation barring him from most employment on Earth.
Svein spent the formative years of his career working on the wealthy of the Mars colony, but ultimately volunteered for the Willman Laboratory mission to remove himself from the distraction of his estranged family and renew his devotion to medicine.
Family:
- Astrid Svein - the Doctor's daughter, from early childhood unwittingly a notorious character caught up in her father's controversy. Currently a soldier with the Global Coalition. They have been out of contact for twenty five years.
- Nona Nomina - Svein's ex-wife, independently wealthy socialite looking to break onto the political scene.
- Codex - Svein's cat.
