When his decision to choose such a mammoth mechanical physique was questioned, Samuel responded 'Dedicating the future of mankind is dangerous work. Samuel returned, bigger, stronger, and more formidable than before in a 3-meter-tall mechanoid body. Powered by Argent Caches (and later by an Argent Accumulator), the cybernetic transference was a success. Samuel's personality, memories, reasoning and comprehension would be carried over to his new framework, but his perception and calculation would become supercharged. Samuel instructed that his frontal and temporal lobes were to remain intact, but the functions of his parietal and occipital lobes were to be bypassed and networked to the plasmatronic core. He dedicated those last few months to finding a radical solution to his mortality: cybernetic transferenceīefore Samuel Hayden 'died', he completed detailed instructions and designs for a new body: a bionic automaton with a plasmatronic processing core (a biomechanical brain). Samuel took over leadership of the UAC a few months after the discovery of the Argent Fracture, and immediately put the Argent Tower into production.ĭuring construction of the Argent Tower, Samuel was diagnosed with stage 4 inoperable brain cancer. His daunting intellect made him a prime target for the UAC, and they recruited him soon after he was appointed General Director of the Global Science Council. At a young age he established the Samuel Hayden Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to sponsoring young scientific talent and funding scientific programs in schools and colleges. He showed prodigious talent in several fields, including thermodynamics, electromagnetic theory, and nuclear sciences. Samuel Hayden is the Chairman of the UAC.īorn into the wealthy and powerful Hayden Family, he completed his Masters in Theoretical Physics at Oxford University. The Possessed create the birthing ground for new demons, and upon expiration are themselves used as fertilizer for the Gore Nest. The Possessed will perform these tasks even when limbs are removed or Pavlovian pain responders are implanted in their cortex, further cementing the theory that they are unwilling slaves performing an integral part of the life cycle of the demons. These actions must be driven by a telepathic communication with higher ranking demons, as there is no local brain activity that could manage such choices. The resulting ceremonial site appears to be the initial stages of a Gore Nest. They will drag human corpses to a central location within their holding pens, and then perform a silent ritual around the pile of bodies. They will stand, unmoving, for days or weeks at a time until presented with a live food source, or threatened by a predator.Īn interesting behavior has been seen when the Possessed are held in small groups. When isolated, they will often enter a dormant state for extended periods of time. The Possessed are known to be territorial when confronted by the living. Posthumous brain activity in the Possessed is limited to instinctive behavior. Despite necrosis of the internal organs (with the exception of the brain), the victim continues to animate and exhibit a low order of sentience for weeks or even months after clinical death. While most victims exposed to Argent biowaves will expire without further effect, some subjects will absorb traces of Argent Energy and enter a state of posthumous vigor. Olivia Pierce during her Lazarus Project. The Possessed are created in a Lazarus Wave event, a phenomenon was first discovered by Dr. Due to Hell magic bullshit, we're in an alternate dimension where the Deimos and Phobos incident never occurred.Īnd there are undoubtedly codex entries confirming/denying all/any of the above points. It's been long enough that the UAC recovered from the fallout of the Deimos and Phobos incident.Ĥ. The UAC covered up the Deimos and Phobos incident real good.ģ. So, to that end, one of these things happened (or a mixture):ġ.

And information from Hell implies Doomguy's been slaughtering there a long, long time. Now, the curious thing about this is that no one seems to recall the incidents on Deimos and Phobos. Hayden's the only one besides Doomguy to make it back. Samuel Hayden lead an expedition of UAC marines into Hell to retrieve the Doomguy and study him back on Mars. Now, it seems that after an indeterminate amount of time in Hell, Doomguy is subdued and then locked in a sarcophagus sealed with chains, rune magic, and built into the very bedrock of Hell. Every campaign afterwards chronicles his slaughter through Hell. As we all know, Doomguy is killed at the end of Knee Deep in the Dead in Doom. Okay, so I'm gonna try and sum it up based on what I've learned so far without having the game.ĭoomguy is the same Doomguy from Doom 1, 2, and 64.
