Lionel

Professor Lionel Isaac Clayborn is the co-founder of Event Horizon Labs and a secondary character in Cogito...

Appearance
Lionel is a humanoid android controlled by the conscious of his former human self. He stands at 5 feet 9 inches tall (though he used to be taller). His color scheme is mostly grayscale, as most of his exterior consists of carbon fiber, polymer shells, and aluminum. The upper and lower parts of his arms are flexible, and subject to bending, and are connected by a spherical swivel joint in lieu of elbows.

His chest plating dons the Event Horizon logo, which was a personal choice to keep as he loves to associate himself with his work.

He has an smooth screen on the front of his head that displays a simple, but welcoming face (although he'll deny it, many have rumored that it's touch sensitive, and can be interacted with)...

Personality
Both before and after his "death" he was very energetic and always eager to get to work on new projects. His liveliness was a big inspiration to his employees, so when he became more distraught over Roy's absence, morale fell making it harder for people to stay motivated with him.

Following his cognitive transfer he regained his spirit again, and with it, new life to the project. Though many say he's a lot more mission-oriented now, and his new self considers risk much less of an issue than before...

Prelude
I deleted it all fuck you

Main Line
Lionel was one of the many Event Horizon staff members present at the "Great Reveal" presentation when the wormhole collapsed. As of now, his whereabouts are unknown, but is presumed dead...
