Brandon Wan is a Chinese[1] engineer who was a Wrangler on PATHOS-II, stationed at Delta. In SOMA, he was relocated to Theta after the Impact Event. He showed great affection for his colleague Alice Koster.

Biography[]

Brandon Wan was born in Hong Kong[1] and is of Sichuan Chinese descent. Paraphernalia regarding his life before he was stationed on PATHOS-II can be found all over his room at Theta, from a family photo to an award he received.

He started working on PATHOS-II beginning in 2102.[1] Positioned at Delta, he worked with Javid Goya, Astrid Krier, and Terry Akers, and given the small size of the site and crew he became friends with most of them, with Javid Goya affectionately calling him Brand.

He also seemed to have been friends with Aashish Shankar, with Brandon calling him Shank, likely having befriended Shankar after both Brandon and Shank were reallocated from their respective sites to Theta.

Sometime before 2103, he started developing a romantic relationship with Alice Koster.

On August 25th, 2103, his brain scan was completed, with Alice accompanying him for the scan.

When Theta was overrun by Proxy creatures on January 16, 2104, Brandon stayed behind to allow his colleagues to escape Theta for Omicron. He removed the connector chip of the safety latch, thus sealing the lift and preventing the Proxy creatures' advance. Cornered by Proxies, Brandon committed suicide by cutting his throat with a knife.

In SOMA[]

In Theta labs, Simon Jarrett activates a simulation of Brandon Wan, using the identity of one of his close colleagues, Alice Koster, to persuade him to release details on the security cipher needed to release the station's DUNBAT submersible from a quarantined state.

Later, while Simon makes his way through Theta maintenance, he finds Brandon Wan's body with his throat slit. Simon takes the connector chip for the elevator from Brandon's corpse so that he can advance towards the Theta shuttle station.

Behind the Scenes[]

  • The story of Wan and Koster was originally much darker. They had a child together, but when everything went down, Brandon and Alice were separated. Brandon had their baby with him, and with no means of escape, used a gun to mercy kill his child and then himself.
