Doctor Becker is a dedicated scientist who is an expert in several scientific fields including biological augmentation and gene splicing. He is intelligent and well spoken, but can be cynical with people he believes are wasting his time. In his younger days working in augmentation labs, Becker liked to push the limits of what was considered ethical in pursuit of results. This led to several altercations with the law, and soon Becker was forced to find employment with labs that operated illegally and in secret. Recently Becker was given the opportunity to lead a large facility at a remote research outpost in the wasteland outside The Strata. While initially optimistic, Becker soon learned that - due to a severe lack of resources and incompetent staff - he may have been handed an impossible task. Even so, his employers expect results, and Becker is trying his best to meet their demands in the face of what seems like a hopeless undertaking.

(Cynical and condescending as he addresses some visitors to the facility who have come begging for scraps. This isn’t the first time they’ve shown up and Becker is concerned they’ll spread word about the facility to the authorities) “Well, see... I can overlook you showing up on my doorstep once by accident. That’s just a simple mistake. But to have you dropping in here on the regular... like we’re some kind of goddamn robo-canteen you can hit whenever you need a bite to eat? No, that won’t do. Sooner or later you’ll tell someone, and they’ll tell someone else... and in no time at all, this facility will be the talk of the Deadlands.”
(Somewhat defensive as he’s confronted by one of his superiors who demands to know why Becker’s results at the facility have been less than impressive. The previous specimen offered by Becker was deemed to be inadequate) “That was probably just some of our weaker specimens. If you had given me a little time, I’m sure I could have offered you a demonstration that would provide a more reasonable standard - something more indicative of where we’re truly at.”
(Indignant, defensive when told by his superior that his results are not up to standard) “I have practically nothing to work with at this station. You stuck me and my team inside a derelict bunker that had been sitting out here in the middle of nowhere, exposed to the elements for a hundred years. And might I add, it was never even suitable in the first place!”
