Clarence Widener

Dr. Clarence Widener was a high ranking Progenitor and amalgam leader of Research Plantation 4. His assigned duties involved the genetic manipulation and production of ketracyte, a leafy plant used in the production of Erg Cola. Toward this end, Widener bred a race of lizard-like humanoids dubbed the "Varanidae" after the Latin name for the monitor lizard with whom they share DNA. Subsequent mistreatment and grossly unethical experimentation on the Varanidae led to an uprising and the loss of Technocracy control at the construct.

The Roosevelt Group managed to quell the revolt and restore the production timelines for ketracyte through diplomacy. They also discovered that Widener was encoding the results of his experiments regarding the genetic markers for susceptibility to mind control in the DNA of outgoing ketracyte shipments. The recipients of this information and the doctor's motivations remain obscure as he committed suicide as soon as he was formally apprehended.
