Matthew Ikeler

Dr. Matthew Ikeler was the director of Kappa Facility and project lead for the research into Vannai genetics and restoring Hybrid viability. 
During the containment breach at Kappa Facility, a large group of Engineers took refuge in the base's dormitory section. However, due to sabotage or negligence, the dormitory was left unsecured from the rest of the facility, and this could only be rectified by traveling through the base to the security center and performing a manual command input. Given the danger involved with the rampant failures about, Ikeler volunteered himself to brave the journey, forcing a squad of Watchmen to accompany him.
Ikeler would make it to the security center, but only with two surviving Watchmen accompanying him, with the rest falling to the Failed Hybrids. Although he succeeded in re-securing the dormitory section and directly ensured the survival of everyone inside, he was derided by those survivors as a coward who had instead taken the armed team with him in an attempt to flee or hide elsewhere. Ikeler himself was trapped in the security center with only the two Watchmen and the dorm cameras giving him a live feed of the other Engineers laughing at his sacrifice and enjoying each other's company in their isolation. This went on for six months, with Ikeler holding out against both suicide and removing the security systems around the dorms despite his resentment towards the occupants safe inside, hoping desperately for rescue. 
Rescue would eventually come in the form of the SOE's 18th cell. Although initially eager to escape, Sheng Wu-Er would announce the JDM's intent to kill him, causing Ikeler to instead use his control of the alarm system to draw the attention of the Failed Hybrids. The JDM would manage to fight off the horde and break into the security center, inadvertently knocking Ikeler out on the process. When he came to, Bob MacKenzie used the man's confused state to his advantage, convincing him that they were actually a rescue team sent by ACC and earning his cooperation.
Ikeler was extracted from the Kappa Facility and brought to Europe. What happened to him afterwards is unknown, but he was likely killed by the Federation after they had extracted any useful information out of him.
