Davis Renn

Cyberneticist specializing in survivable cryogenic suspension on the Far Traveler mission to Irrakai

Davis Renn is a brilliant, driven cyberneticist whose specialty is making cryogenic suspension survivable. On the Far Traveler mission to Irrakai, he approaches complex biological and technical systems as problems that can be solved and helps improvise practical tools under severe constraints. Davis’s greatest strength is his belief that every mechanism can eventually be understood. On Irrakai, that belief becomes both essential and dangerous. It allows him to make progress under impossible conditions, but it also encourages continued experimentation after the moral and biological risks become clear. His work on kethra ultimately binds his family to the crisis for generations.
