Voices of Redemption: Part 1

Voices of Redemption

The first several Redemption Chats are out in the Social Media World and many of the people appearing are fundamental to the history of Redemption over the last several years. So who are these people? What is the background that ties these characters together if you aren’t intimately familiar with the Redemption storyline?

Walt DeWalt

Walt is the Chief of Field Operations and Chief Recruiter for Redemption, and the primary Handler for the Redemption Agents for Season 1. He interfaces with all of the heroes and most of the NPCs. There is a point in Season 1 at which Walt was indisposed, so Sandii took care of the heroes for a major assignment. Other Handlers will take a more prominent role in Season 2, in which we will learn a lot about Walt’s past.

Jakara

Jakara first shows up early in Season 1 (Assignment 1.01: Meat The Enemy). When the Redemption Agents first encountered him, he was injured and the results of genetic experimentation by Dr. Lionel Morel. The actions of those Redemption Agents brought him under the care of Redemption where his story begins to be truly understood. Jakara has undergone incredible physical and especially mental development. Furthermore, Jakara is not exactly human. 

Sandii

Sandii actually meets the Redemption Agents a few times throughout Season 1. She starts in Chicago, but is reassigned and promoted in New Orleans (Assignment 1.02: A Heist-Minded Plot and Assignment 1.07 Post Mortem Influence). In New Orleans, she is the main Handler that Redemption Agents work with.

Barrington Fawkes

Fawkes is a Scientific influencer with a devoted following. He is charismatic and likeable, but also very skeptical when the Redemption Agents first find him (Assignment 1.07: Post Mortem Influence). He is attempting to duplicate the notes of a meta-physicist named Gilcrest who has developed some form of dimensional technology. During the symposium, Fawkes witnesses multiple dimensions in view and is attacked by animated electronic equipment. After these events, he is recruited by Redemption and is now more timid. 

Lionel Morel

Dr. Lionel Morel is a young but extremely talented geneticist. He has admirable goals, such as ending world hunger but he is easily manipulated and fails to see the moral consequences of his actions. Redemption Agents first encounter Morel when he is doing some experiments on protein generation (Assignment 1.01: Meat the Enemy). He is encountered again at a luxury retreat where he is being funded to continue his protein research (Assignment 1.04: An Unexpected Retreat). Despite these setbacks, Redemption feels Lionel, as troubled as he is, still has a future worth protecting.
