Origin
Isaac Kessler was a former physics professor forced to reign his tenure in disgrace after falsifying experimental results. Eventually, he found himself working for Dimitri Solokov’s mob, where he displayed an uncanny skill for money laundering.
Major Story Arcs
Kessler was Dimitri’s favorite “son” until he started making the profits disappear, as well. He engineered years of such embezzlement, all the while undetected. By the time Solokov caught on, Kessler had managed to spirit away over 200 million dollars of his boss’ illicit lucre. Just before the hammer came down, he killed himself.
Not believing him to be dead, Solokov hired John Tower to investigate Kessler’s death. Tower discovered Kessler had bought a decommisioned military warehouse. Breaking in, he walked into Kessler, who somehow had managed to retain his memories after dying. Now a living ghost, Kessler tried to flee from Tower, but was killed by Tower using his phasma-knife.
