A well-established industrialist who made a massive fortune with his air brake patent and later entered the electrical business, foreseeing the potential of Alternating Current (AC). He is the only person with the vision and financial power to challenge Edison's DC empire. By purchasing Tesla's motor patents at a high price, he translated Tesla's theories into industrial practice and succeeded in epic projects like the Chicago World's Fair. In contrast, during major financial disputes, he was forced to ask Tesla to waive his massive royalty rights due to investor pressure.
He came from a traditional family and expanded his engineering expertise during the years of the Civil War. He built his life around safety and transportation (braking systems), and through his vision, he constructed a massive industrial empire (Westinghouse Electric).
Tall, broad-shouldered, and large-framed. He sports large, full, whitening mustaches (the typical industrialist 'walrus' style). He dresses extremely elegantly yet conservatively.
Nikola Tesla
A genius whose vision he purchased, a partner he supported in the commercial arena, but also someone he victimized through contract cancellation (even though Tesla did so willingly).
Thomas Edison
A dangerous and rule-breaking industrial rival.
