Backstory: At 25, in March 2022, Henry Nianzhu legally named Tim Howell the godfather of his sons, Colin and Maxwell Nianzhu. Tim bonded with them while in Hong Kong for his business venture. In 2023, he ended his venture and applied to Site-224 in Michigan, closer to home. Quickly rising to Site Director, he befriended Wilson and Vance Sindor, trusting them deeply. However, in 2027, Colin Nianzhu was placed into testing by Dr. K, convincing Vance to approve it. Determined to protect Colin, Tim enlisted genetic engineer Jonathan Rattington to delay or excuse him from testing. On January 20, 2028, the Incident occurred. Jonathan secretly set Colin’s stasis duration to five years before Tim escaped to the elite bunkers (T.O.W.E.R.), where he was last seen. His fate remains unknown, but he may emerge at any time.
