Dr. Robert Wenabocker
Dr. Robert Wenabocker is heard on a recorded tape, introducing himself as the lead engineer at the Warren Peace Memorial Nuclear Power Plant. BE E5·02:12:33 He speaks of a loss of coolant accident in reactor Charlie, and a second tape is dated 4/21/62. BE E5·02:12:33 BE E5·02:13:17
Aabria describes him as a human scientist who worked at the plant twenty years earlier.

Dr. Tara Steel says Wenabocker is in the human camp. BE E9·01:54:45 Silence's journal says Phoebe went into the room where he hid and that somehow he fled.

BE E10·00:39:54 He raises the three dead soldiers as revenants and opens his suit, and Phoebe's small head looks out of his jaw. BE E10·00:40:05 BE E10·00:40:40 Phoebe says her plan is to send the Blue into the sky and irradiate the world, and after Viola's explosion the Phoebe monster crashes to the ground and Aabria says the battle is won.
