The elder roboticist of the Sons of Ether is one of the founders of Sojourn station. After a long and illustrious career in the public eye, it came time for Isaac to put that identity to rest. It wouldn't do for the run-of-the-mill Sleeper to see Asimov still up and about now, decades after when any normal mortal man would have died!

Given the opportunity to create something new for the Sons of Ether, a true stepping stone to the stars, Asimov jumped at the chance. Some might consider his Science old and obsolete, his Laws of Robotics crude and limiting. But robots were essential in the construction, and even the ongoing existence of, the far-flung space station.

The Master Scientist was one of a few who survived long enough in the deepest reaches of the newly hostile Umbra, long enough to be rescued and brought back to Earth. Since then, Asimov turned his attentions to battle with the Technocracy...and perhaps some lecherous thoughts regarding Morgan, since she did flash him once.

Asimov seems to have survived the turning of Dr. Carlisle and Dame Atomika to the Nephandi, if only barely. Afflicted by a curse of aging by their Cultist ally, Doubting Thomas, the elder Ether scientist may have finally met his match...time.
