Dr. Calnor is a potentially hostile NPC Captain Steele will encounter in Syriquest: The Genetic Opera.

Appearance

History/Personality/Information of Note

---

Dr. Calnor is the no-nonsense head of the Akkadi Research Base on Uveto. In the past he oversaw the experiment with a person-sized Warp tunnel with Syri and Valden. When the experiment went wrong, killing Valden, fusing some of his DNA and organs with Syri, and recording his memories, personality, and consciousness in the Holo-banks, Calnor was charged with conducting experiments on Valden's body and soul to understand how he died and safe proof future products. Calnor has kept Valden trapped in a body-less supercomputer for several years now despite the latter's pleas to be free.
