"Agnus Dei"
33. Gil Alexander(BioShock 2)
Once a member of Rapture's elite, Dr. Gilbert Alexander began as an ambitious researcher and inventor for Fontaine Futuristics, designing much of Rapture's security system and influential in the creation and upkeep of the Big Daddy, including modifying the suits with electronics, as well as creating the genetic bond between the Big Daddies and Little Sisters.
Alexander began to regret his actions(as one with a basic conscience would when creating monsters akin to Victor Frankenstein), and eventually became a member of the Rapture Family, Sofia Lamb's religion of unity. Lamb's plan to create a utopian society included the creation of the "Utopians," people who have been designed to hold the collected genius of Rapture via ADAM infusion, thus repressing their own personal identity. Alexander volunteered to be the first Utopian and, due to the amount of ADAM and genetics injected into him, was mutated beyond all recognition and driven completely mad. Now calling himself "Alex the Great," he monitors Fontaine Futuristics via security robots from his tank in the hidden ADAM research lab below the fake Fontaine building. Whew, that's a lot of backstory!
Gil Alexander is the representation of Sofia Lamb's dreams: a crazed monster who only had the best intentions in the worst possible ways.
Best moments: The moment when Subject Delta activates the lights in the research lab, finally revealing the tank that Alexander is contained in. And a good approximation of what he looks like.
