Austin Weller is a cyborg. He is hundreds of years old, but because of his implants he is immortal. The mechanical implants make him an organic supercomputer, however they also make him experience time differently. His body is affected at the same rate as other Humans are, but his consciousness lags. 2 minutes for every regular Terran is 1 minute for him. To counter this problem, he has devised a neural tap that brings him up to speed and allows him to think at the speed of a regular person, but is painful in the long run.
