Roger Wilco Jr.

Roger Wilco Jr. is the deuteragonist of Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers. He is the future son of Roger Wilco and Beatrice Wankmeister, who serves as the leader of a resistance group known as the Time Rippers, dedicated to stop Sludge Vohaul's tyranny in the future Xenon.
Roger Jr. later decides to send Roger Sr. from SQIV timeline to SQXII timeline, in an attempt to stop Vohaul, once and for all.
==Appearance==
Like his father, Roger Jr. has blonde hair and brown eyes. He is seen wearing a green long-sleeved shirt with orange vest and green pants.
==Personality==
Unlike his father, Roger Jr. is seen to be more intelligent and dedicated to his duty of freeing SQXII Xenon from the grips of Vohaul and his forces.
==Background==
===Past===
Roger Jr. is the (likely) only child of Roger Wilco and Beatrice Wankmeister. After Space Quest 6, at some unknown point, he was born on Xenon. His father gave him the name Roger Jr. in keeping with the Wilco family custom of having a Roger in every generation.
He was 19 when the events of Space Quest 12 took place. Although the Space Quest 4 period version of his father asserts (some would say mistakenly) that Roger Jr. is "not as good-looking," he seems to be an exact replica of his father.
It is hinted that he was abandoned by the time of SQ12's events, or, at the absolute least, that Roger Sr. and Beatrice were totally unable to care for him at that time.
The early years of Roger Jr. are not yet known in canon. He joined (or established) an uprising force with the intention of liberating Xenon from Vohaul's authority after the Vohaul virus infestation occurred during his teenage years.
===Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers===
When a last-ditch attempt was made to try to collect Roger Sr., the only man to ever defeat Vohaul, from a previous SQ era, it seemed that the fight for freedom was going poorly and appeared to be all but lost.
The mission was assigned to Roger Jr. and Ginia, two additional freedom fighters. They were supposed to steal time guns from Vohaul, which could time travel to earlier SQ games. As a result of their achievement, they were able to use the firearms to enter the SQ4 era just in time to prevent Roger Sr. from being assassinated by Sludge Vohaul's Sequel Police, who had also been looking for him.
Roger Jr. accidentally time-ripped his father into the SQ12 era, where SQ4 gameplay actually starts. The Sequel Policemen later hauled Roger Jr. before Vohaul and imprisoned him in the Dome of the Super Computer.
At the conclusion of the SQ4 game, Roger Jr. had his thoughts transferred onto a disc and his body taken over by Vohaul so that Vohaul could try to kill Roger Sr. once more. But just in time for Vohaul to be erased along with the rest of the Super Computer's data, Roger Sr. was able to transmit his thoughts back into the machine. The mind of his kid was subsequently put back into his body by Roger Sr.
Then father and son proceeded to talk face to face. Roger Jr. responded to his father's questions as best he could before realising there was nothing else he could say without disclosing too much potentially dangerous information. Later, he used his time gun once more to send his father back to the SQ4 era. Nothing more canonical is currently known about Roger Jr.'s subsequent events.
