Professor Norman Wiseman
Transdimensional Scientist
Early Career
Studied at the university of BritCitt on Earth and even as a student was exceptionally talented.
His Talent at advanced quantum mechanics and and research into transdimensional physics lead to a posting to a classified research establishment in Quadrant 7.
The Dohla Event
Much of the detail of this work remains highly classified and the Earth government will not release the full records of events into the public domain for at least 200 years. However such information that is in the public domain indicates that the Black Mesa laboratory was conducting groundbreaking research and that reportedly there was a “resonance cascade event” resulting in the disappearance of a small moon in the Dolha system and a number of military and civilian casualties.
Of note for historians shortly after this event the 130th Earther Marine Regiment was retired from duty.
The Evangelou Event
SOme years after The Dolha event, Wiseman was recruited by the Royal Academy of Sciences on Wolf359 and given substantial funding to follow some new research avenues in the Evangelou System in Quadrant 0.
There was another, very public, resonance cascade event in which a number of Wolfer warships were lost, and the Prime Minister himself made a transdimensional trip to what is now known as Universe B. Ultimately the "breach" was sealed and research halted.
Later Life
Following the Evangelou incident, Wiseman's reputation was in tatters and he had trouble securing academic roles. He dropped out of public view and was reportedly working as a robot repairer on Sirius for a while. However, it is believed his percieved failures left him a broken man.
Sadly, he died in an industrial accident attempting to repair a mafunctioning plasmatic boring robot. He left no family or dependents.
