The world of Rapture is filled with power players, scientists, and those who simply know how to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself. These are the major players of Rapture, pulling the strings and controlling the masses brought to this city under the sea.
Andrew Ryan
Andrew Ryan is the man behind Rapture. It was his vision to build a city where government, religion, and morality would not interfere with the advancement of science and art. Rapture was his dream, he chose the location carefully, and by tremendous will and hard work, he made it reality.
Atlas
Atlas is the owner of the friendly voice that greets you in the bathysphere as you ride down to the city from the lighthouse. He has a heavy accent, yet is polite. Although his disgust with Andrew Ryan is evident, it seems as if his hatred for the man is deserved. Atlas is your guide over the radio for much of your time in Rapture, so get used to him.
Tenenbaum
Dr. Tenenbaum was the scientist who recognized that a particular sea slug was the source of all Adam, and developed it into something useable. She collaborated with Dr. Suchong to create the Little Sister project, which gave female children the ability to harvest Adam from “Angels”. Suchong’s role in this collaboration was to develop many of the different Plasmids that exist in Rapture. Tenenbaum has since realized the problems that the genetic splicing has caused and has had a change of heart. She is now trying to protect the Little Sisters she helped create.
She currently lives a life of secrecy, rarely leaving the safehouse she hides out in. She promises to reward you with gifts if you show compassion and spare the lives of the Little Sisters that you encounter.
