THE FACES OF
RAPTURE'S CIVIL WAR: PART I

September 17, 2009

The citizens of Rapture's Civil War were not always monsters. Once, they were hailed as geniuses -- brilliant minds burning brightly -- ahead of their time. They came to the city seeking freedom -- they fought for what they believed to be good and right. And in their search for true greatness they destroyed themselves. These are the faces of Rapture's Civil War.

The Cult of Rapture will take a closer look at each of the characters you can play in BioShock 2's multiplayer experience. To start, we begin with a welder whose face you may know very well: Jacob Norris.


JACOB NORRIS


Jacob Norris is a stand up guy. A gifted and innovative metallurgist, his considerable skills as a welder were essential to the construction of Rapture’s physical foundations. Responding to dangerous and consistently deteriorating conditions in Rapture worksites, Jacob has become a vehement and highly vocal supporter of labor reform, and is therefore regarded as something of a hero by his peers. The onset of the civil war finds Jacob fighting for this cause as aggressively as ever.
