The Scientist

Scientists are the brains of Krieger's operation, responsible for the experiments and study of the Trigens. Most likely consisting of geneticists and surgeons, they assist Krieger in his research. According to conversations led by Workers, Scientists think poorly of them, a feeling that is mutual.

Mercenaries also dislike Scientists, one even referring to them as "university pukes". Despite this, the mercenaries still carry out their orders (or try to) and protect the Scientists, often at the cost of their own lives.

Moreover, they often order the mercenaries to keep the Trigens alive, even if they're loose around the islands. Because of this, both parties have been observed to perish at the hands of the mutants.

Scientists are easily recognizable by their white lab coats with Krieger's emblem. This uniform is also worn by Doyle. Scientists are researchers, but are armed with Desert Eagle and carry health packs. They are the weakest human enemies, easy to kill, do not use any combat tactics, and are usually located in the scientific lab areas. Scientists are often accompanied by Lab Workers.
