Biography

A Kanji human born in the United Columbian Country in 1882, Pablo is the mentally unstable brother in the Cakewalk family. He worked with Batista at the Madison Enrichment Center facility and had been helping Parafield for decades as a scientist and researcher, helping Parafield achieve things that had not been done before. Even with that mental instability, he remained a kind hearted person.

Pablo developed the Handheld Synthetic Death Ray as a single cell, single emitter alternative to the S.F.R. superstructure. He selected generic grade isotope for stability, rejected reactive grade for volatility and efficient grade for low output, and adapted baffle shielding at backpack scale. First live test destroyed a reinforced concrete slab and removed his eyebrows. Source: HSDR-1000-LOG.

Public demonstration before Batista, Dr. Elena Voss, Dr. Marcus Feld, and F.A.M.S. produced an eleven second continuous discharge that eliminated a six inch concrete wall and caused a level two vibration in the adjoining sector. The event was logged as HSDR-INC-001 and held at confidential family access. Further firing was suspended pending teardown analysis by Voss and Feld. Source: HSDR-DEMO-TRANSCRIPT.

Pablo later discovered the Sector D nursery by forcing entry, recognized the Vitals achievement immediately, upgraded oxygen scrubbers, and assumed uncle duties.

Pablo died in 2085 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Personality

Rapid, performative, improvisational. Narrates builds aloud, celebrates results openly, minimizes risk verbally while engineering around it practically. Capable of silence and gentleness around Leo, contrasting with workshop behavior.
