BACKGROUND
A brilliant astrophysicist, Dr. Siebren de Kuiper was considered a pioneer in his field. His life's work involved devising a way to harness the power of gravity, which he regarded as the greatest untapped resource humanity had remaining to them. Equally known for his groundbreaking research and eccentric personality, he conducted most of his studies from his lab in the Hague.
Before the Omnic Crisis, he developed a successful maglev prototype. While maglev technology had existed prior to his invention, the technology had previously only been available to corporations and governments. de Kuiper's invention proliferated in the public sphere, so that by the Omnic Crisis, cars were using maglev technology as standard. It has been commented that if not for de Kuiper's work, it might have taken decades to bridge the gap between fossil fuels and a truly sustainable future.
de Kuiper spent a year on the Horizon Lunar Colony, where he visited his good friend Dr. Harold Winston. Winston showed him one of the gorilla test subjects. Over the year, de Kuiper continued his gravitational studies and advised the colony's staff on the installation of their advanced low-gravity hydroponics system. He would later credit much of his research, including access to the moon's lower gravity, the null gravity of space, and artificial gravity of the colony, as key to his understanding of the universe.
THE INCIDENT
Decades of study and research led de Kuiper to the belief that "gravity is a harness;" if the unifying theories were correct, through his work mankind would soon even be able to command nature's most potent expression of gravity, a black hole, and it would change everything forever. Believing that he was close to achieving his goal, he performed his most important experiment on the International Space Station. However, something went terribly wrong. The field containing the experiment began to fail; as De Kuiper desperately tried to figure out why it was happening and how to stop it, the brief formation of a black hole was triggered. Screaming, De Kuiper was only exposed to its power for a moment, but he suffered serious psychological damage. The area around him began to experience strange fluctuations in gravity, peaking and dropping in time with his reactions. He had to be evacuated immediately.
Upon returning to Earth, de Kuiper was quarantined in a secret government facility in New Mexico. Between his ravings about the patterns of the universe, the psychic damage he sustained, the gravitic anomalies happening around him, and concerns for his mental wellbeing, he was deemed a danger to himself and others and detained for years under the name "Subject Sigma," with himself and his inexplicable abilities being researched. Isolated and unable to control his powers, De Kuiper retreated into his own mind. He thought he would never see the outside world again.
TALON
When Talon discovered De Kuiper's existence, they infiltrated the facility and broke him out, planning to use his brilliance and research to further their plans.
In their custody, De Kuiper slowly gained control of his powers. Now, gravity moved according to his will, and he was closer than ever to achieving his life's goal. But the same experiment that had opened his mind had also fractured it, and he struggled to keep the pieces together. De Kuiper continued to develop his powers in hopes of unlocking the secrets of the universe, unaware that Talon was using both him and his research. He spent most of his time working off-site in a lab Talon granted to him. In his mind (such as it was), he didn't consider himself a prisoner, and Talon provided everything he needed.
After Talon was seized by Marzia Bartalotti in her victory against Akande Ogundimu, Sigma was placed in worsened conditions than before. In Vendetta’s eyes, Sigma wasn’t a person but a weapon, and was meant to be contained until she had need of his abilities. Remaining in confinement, Sigma hoped that one day someone might free him from his torment.
