Deadman
CHARACTER
The chief medical officer at Bridges.


Overview

Deadman serves as the chief medical officer at the Bridges Foundation. He handles and studies BBs and helps Sam deal with issues regarding BB-28, growing somewhat attached to it despite initially marking it as a defective BB for disposal. Much later in the game, Deadman tells Sam he is "Frankenstein's Monster," an artificial human composed of 30% pluripotent stem cells and 70% fresh organs from human cadavers. He never had parents, a birthday, or even a Beach compared to other humans. After getting to know both Sam and his BB over the course of their work with Bridges, Deadman starts to develop feelings for them.
