Brigid Tenenbaum

Doctor Brigid Tenenbaum (born 1925-1928) is the deuteragonist of the 2007 first-person shooter video game BioShock, and the tritagonist of its 2010 sequel BioShock 2.
A well-renowned geneticist, Dr. Tenenbaum discovered ADAM and developed ways for it be produced, but came to regret her actions in the creation of the Little Sisters. She would remain in Rapture to protect and cure the children, and depending on the player's choice, Tenenbaum can become one of Jack's allies.
She was voiced by Anne Bobby in the English version, and Mie Sonozaki in the Japanese version.
==Biography==
She discovered ADAM and helped develop it into products for commercial sale. She is also the "mother" of the Little Sisters. She created them, and eventually came to care a great deal about their safety, calling them her "little ones", acting as a mother to them, and regretting her part in helping create them. The player is able to win her allegiance by saving the Little Sisters instead of harvesting them for ADAM.
Tenenbaum grew up near the city of Minsk in USSR (in the territory of modern Belarus). Her father was German, and she was raised in the Jewish faith. When she was sixteen years old, she became a prisoner at the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz, where she observed German doctors, including Josef Mengele, experimenting on prisoners.
Occasionally, when the Germans made scientific errors, she would correct them, and discovered that she had a vocation for science. Eventually, the Germans put her to work assisting in their infamous medical experiments. Tenenbaum considered the German experiments to be useless.
While the rest of her family was killed, she survived the concentration camp, due to her aid to the doctors, which had earned her the nickname "Das Wunderkind". Tenenbaum was diagnosed with high-functioning autism, but didn't let that define her and later gained a reputation as a scientific genius.
In 1946, she mysteriously disappeared. Speculations said she had been taken to America or the Soviet Union, like many scientists after WWII, or possibly that she had been the victim of a retaliation for her collaboration with the Nazis. Her true destination, however, was Rapture.
