Name: Isaac Elias
Age: 41
Birthday: November 3, 1965
Gender: Male
Place of origin: Cold Spring, Minnesota
Lab: Evolab
Relationship status: Married
Physical description: Isaac has dark brown hair, almost black, cut just short enough that it can stand on end. His eyes are a dark, slightly greenish blue. He's fairly tall, but he manages to look even taller than he actually is, as though he were a natural-born leader. His face is thin, but boyish, and his eyes seem to dominate his visage, which has the effect of giving him a serious look.
Personality: Isaac is a high-ranking scientist within Evolab, and he is the person in charge of Project Eco (the project that created Pipsqueak). He believes that everything Evolab does is in the best interest of their subjects, and their subjects, in turn, are helping Evolab to achieve breakthroughs that will help humanity. Furthermore, he believes that the Project Eco biodomes are the best possible home for the Project Eco experiments; the biodomes were, after all, built with the intention of perfectly recreating the environment that the Project Eco experiments 'evolved' in. Isaac can be very stubborn and arrogant at times, often being slow to accept that he could be wrong. However, he is still a scientist; he doesn't continue to hold on to his beliefs in the face of overwhelming evidence. He seems like a friendly person, but it's hard to tell if he's being sincere, or if he simply feels that he has to be friendly because he represents Evolab. The truth is somewhere in between; he is naturally at least somewhat warm, but he also knows the value of good public relations. But either way, he is a charismatic person, the sort of person that it's hard not to trust. He almost always goes out in person to help recapture Project Eco escapees, in part because he believes that "they just don't know that we're trying to help them."
History: Isaac grew up in a small town in Minnesota; he had a fairly ordinary childhood. He showed an interest in business dealings early on; not surprising, considering his father was also a businessman. However, somewhere around his high school years, it happened that Isaac heard about Evolab, and his interests took a sudden turn towards pursuits of the scientific variety. Of course, Project Eco was top secret to anyone outside of Evolab, but Isaac read about all their other projects. His parents, naturally, thought that this genetics stuff was only a fad their son was going through, but it wasn't.
Isaac decided to double-major in business and biology in an out-of-state college, and went on to get his PhD in genetics. He came out of graduate school and immediately applied to Evolab for a job. He was started on less important projects; his first was a study of sensory organs of various species and their connections to the brain. But his superiors soon saw that he seemed to have both a natural talent for dealing with people and the memory for chemical equations; a winning combination of talents, as far as Evolab was concerned. Isaac rose through the ranks at a startling pace, and soon was put in charge of Evolab's only secret project; Project Eco. He was thirty-seven when he was named the head advisor of Project Eco, and already he has made great progress with the project.
Isaac met his wife during his time at Evolab, even though she was not a staff member there. She was a marine biologist, and it was her job to make sure Evolab was in compliance with environmental regulations (at this point, Isaac was working on a project that had to do with sea creatures). Her name was Marie, and she and Isaac liked each other right from the beginning. She is now probably the only person outside of Evolab that knows the truth about Project Eco.
