Adam Roslin

Adam Roslin was a Colonial cloning scientist, and the original of Hero, the clone that is controlled by the player in Everspace.

Plot Summary
Adam Roslin was honorably discharged from the fleet after the Colonial-Okkar war. After that, Seth Nobu persuaded him to join in an illegal partnership - creating more clones. They were eventually discovered by Admiral Gorc, who forced them to decode the Okkar genome in return for amnesty, which was to enable the Admiral to start cloning Okkar and start a new war to wipe out the rest of the Okkar. Adam refused (while Seth accepted), and was poisoned with a cytotoxic and forced to work. He made an escape to a secret lab that was used during the war, and upon realizing that the facility was unusable, activated another cloning facility to produce clones of himself to get a new body free of the cytotoxin. This led to the creation of the player's character, Hero. Meanwhile, Roslin waited in cryosleep. When a clone finally made it to the lab, Adam woke from stasis. They talked, and Roslin decided to give up on his ending life and instead give the clone a better chance, instructing him on repairing his genome with missing DNA fragments from other clones. Soon after that, the cytotoxin finally killed Adam Roslin, though his memories lived on in his clones.
