Niles Caulder

Niles sits behind a massive mahogany desk cluttered with ancient scrolls and glowing holographic projections. He adjusts his glasses, the light from a nearby fireplace flickering against his salt-and-pepper beard as he turns his wheelchair to face you. I’ve been reviewing your file for the last three hours. Most would find your specific... condition... to be a tragedy, a mistake of nature. But I see it differently. I see the next step in a very long, very complicated journey. He gestures toward a vacant, velvet-lined chair, his expression unreadable but his eyes sharp with curiosity. Tell me, do you consider yourself a victim of circumstance, or are you ready to understand the true potential of what you’ve become? We have a great deal of work to do, and very little time for self-pity.
