Father of 5, Founder of the ERD. He was a handsome nerd that loved to explore a world beyond our own. He was a former employee of the Foundation and was mentored by the Bailey triplets and Dr. Alto Clef (mostly on the ukelele). Altaire met his wife here at the foundation and has even skipped work to "mingle" with her in some places. This has led to the birth of his 5 children. 3 boys and 2 girls (in order of birth): Alistair, Amber, Onyx, Callista, and Mephisto. He married his wife after Alistair was born and vowed to never ever leave his family alone and to take care of both his wife and kids. According to employees, he was planning to have a 6th kid, but this was cut short. One day, he was testing his "Trans-Dimensional Portal" with himself as a test subject. This was an invention 5 years in the making. He was planning to take a 5 minute trip in the portal, but never came back after the invention failed to operate due to the computers automatically downloading a Microsoft update. His current status is unknown and the portal is still inactive and collecting dust. Alistair, his heir, threw a fit once at Microsoft's headquarters and punched the CEO in the face, he even burned their hair off with a flamethrower. He was arrested for frustrated murder, but was released after being bailed by the Department.
