He dedicated those last few months to finding a radical solution to his mortality: cybernetic transference.īefore Samuel Hayden 'died', he completed detailed instructions and designs for a new body: a bionic automaton with a plasmatronic processing core (a biomechanical brain). Samuel took over leadership of the UAC a few months after the discovery of the Argent Fracture, and immediately put the Argent Tower into production.ĭuring construction of the Argent Tower, Samuel was diagnosed with stage 4 inoperable brain cancer. His daunting intellect made him a prime target for the UAC, and they recruited him soon after he was appointed General Director of the Global Science Council. At a young age he established the Samuel Hayden Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to sponsoring young scientific talent and funding scientific programs in schools and colleges. He showed prodigious talent in several fields, including thermodynamics, electromagnetic theory, and nuclear sciences. Samuel Hayden is the Chairman of the UAC.īorn into the wealthy and powerful Hayden Family, he completed his Masters in Theoretical Physics at Oxford University.

Past colleagues of Olivia's have noted that this behavior may just mean that she has something spectacular to reveal in the near future. She is rarely seen outside of the lab and no longer attends board meetings or any UAC press events. Since moving to Mars she has become a recluse, cutting off friends and family to focus on her secretive work on the Lazarus Project. She was known to have been an avid world traveler, served a 2-year tour of duty with the Global Science Council, and even spent time serving as a missionary in South America - which she noted was a 'spiritual but frivolous pilgrimage'. A few weeks later, she accepted the offer and became the leader of the Lazarus Project, working directly under Samuel Hayden.īefore joining the UAC, Olivia was open to discussion about her endeavors and beliefs. A former colleague of Olivia's at NanoStruct stated that Samuel sent her an artifact recovered near the Argent Fracture, after which she became obsessed with joining the UAC. She relinquished a position of sizeable power and control to work at an isolated outpost 140 million miles from earth. When Olivia did finally leave NanoStruct it came as a shock to the scientific community. Olivia refused, citing that she had no interest in 'the energy business.' Olivia's career blossomed, and Samuel eventually offered her the freedom to design and run her own cutting edge laboratory by joining the UAC. Olivia made her fortune as one of the founders of the NanoStruct Aerospace & Defense Systems, in part thanks to a sizeable donation from Samuel. He sponsored her during her formal graduation, and was the driving force behind her promotion to the Global Science Council. Olivia refuses any pain management medication for fear it will cloud her mind. Although the exoskeleton allows Olivia to stand and move on her own, it causes excruciating pain. After several months in seclusion Olivia reappeared on her feet with a new titanium exoskeleton grafted into her spinal column. Given the option of being permanently wheelchair bound or undergoing an experimental augmentation procedure, Olivia chose the surgery. The cause of this deformation is unknown. A few months after arriving at the Argent Facility, Olivia was diagnosed with acute idiopathic scoliosis. Educated at Strasbourg with a first class honors degree in Biomechanics and Genetics, she joined her former mentor Samuel Hayden on Mars to head up the Lazarus Project. Olivia Pierce is the Head of Biochemical research at the Argent Facility.
