Shooter: Majestic Revelations v6.4[]
One of the 19 members of Majestic 12's voting leadership. Creator of the Adam computer. An immensely wealthy, power-hungry, 40-ish control freak, technogeek who lives in the Pacific Northwest. He is SuperNerd - everything a nerd with too much money fifty-odd years in the future with access to secret high technology would be. He has a datalink, has had his tiny frame augmented, and has handsome (altered) features, but still manages to have unkempt hair and doesn't know how to dress, making him a geek at first glance. He is intelligent and manipulative, and he will be the guy who shuts Adam down the first time.
Lives in a heavily fortified estate riddled with secret passages, state-of-the-art defense systems, etc on a hill outside of Austin, Texas.
Appearance:
A good geek gone bad. Wavy, unkempt red hair in a hideous pageboy cut. Coke-bottle glasses. Kind of goofy looking despite the expensive, albeit casual, clothes he wears, the manicures, and so forth.
(Okay, so Page is the Bill Gates/Richard Garriott love child, so sue me - just change him up enough that neither one of them is tempted to sue...)

Publicly, Bob Page is the trillionaire industrialist head of the ubiquitous entity known as Page Enterprises. (Picture a combination of Microsoft, Dupont, General Motors, Rockwell and Archer, Daniels, Midland). Privately, he is the undisputed leader of the conspiratorial cabal known as Majestic 12.
Years ago, Page was the protégé of Dr. Morgan Everett, a technology wizard for the slightly more benign conspiracy known as the Illuminati. Together, Page and Everett conceived the technology behind Daedelus, nano-augmentation and the nano-virus called Gray Death. But Page saw Everett’s unwillingness to use his control of technology to establish dominion over mankind as weakness. The protégé, being amoral, threw the mentor out and went on to surpass Everett in power, wealth and control – in all ways save wisdom.
An immensely wealthy, power-hungry, 40-50-ish control freak, technogeek. He is Super Nerd – everything a nerd with too much money fifty-odd years in the future with access to secret high technology would be.
He has an Infolink, has had himself nano-augmented (in ways that increase his intellect and connectedness to the world rather than his strength, speed or combat capabilities). He has handsome (altered) features, but still manages to have unkempt hair and doesn’t know how to dress, making him a geek at first glance. He is intelligent and highly manipulative but, fundamentally insecure – the nerd as bully. (Better bullying through technology!)
Page, at heart an insecure fellow, lives in fear that someone will discover that Everett, and not he, is the true genius. This secret fear, more than anything, is his fatal flaw and over-compensating for this fear is what drives Page to do just about everything in his life. Though seemingly in control of himself and events, he is, in fact, the most reactionary character in the game.
NOTE: Bob Page has a “cyber-assimilated” form, encountered in the last mission, after he, basically, merges with the Icarus AI and the Universal Constructor. In this form, he has control over an army of nanocreatures and fairly amazing power over the elements themselves.
A good geek gone bad. Too much plastic surgery – despite advances in technology – has left Page’s skin stretched too thin and unnatural. He’s trying to look young but failing. (Think Joan Rivers…)
In cyber-assimilated form, Page is immobile and connected directly to the computer by cables hardwired into his brain and spinal cord.
