Emerson Selig

Emerson Selig is a character in House of Eternal Return.
==History==
Emerson was drafted into the Vietnam War. On the field, he found a Vietcong soldier called Seventeen, who was a child of the Anomaly. Seventeen was attempting to revive a young boy with a device that emitted sonic energy. Emerson helped Seventeen save the child, then saved him with the device when Seventeen was shot.
Seventeen showed Emerson how to travel to other dimensions using the power of sound. On one trip, Emerson accidentally touched Seventeen's machine, which showed to him his future relationship with Jean Selig. He stole a ring and returned home to propose to her. They married on July 6, 1975. Together, they had two children named Lucius and Piper, and they adopted a hamster called Nimesku.
Jean encouraged him to study esoteric science. He created the Transducer and the Frequency Dilator, which he believed will be able to resurrect someone, similar to Seventeen's machine. After Nimesku died, Emerson successfully used the machine to revive him. Unfortunately, Lucius walked in during the experiment, and the machine affected him as well. He became prone to falling into trances without warning. Wracked with guilt for hurting his son, Emerson stopped his studies in esoteric science and hid all his notes in a safe. He never explained the experiment to him, instead, he told Lucius that he was suffering from "blackouts".
When Lucius returned home with his powers removed, he told Lex, his niece, to find Emerson's notes and replicate the experiment. It failed, causing Lex to fade away into the "fog space". On March 17, 2016, he joined the rest of the family to try to bring him back.
