Lance Tuckerson

**Lance Michael Tuckerson** was a brain scientist and neurosurgeon. He was the third and youngest of the three Tuckerson brothers. Lance was born in New Orleans, Louisiana but moved to Miami, Florida when he was 13. He attended high school in Miami where he became a valedictorian. His older brothers spent their days partying and doing drugs while he spent his time studying and learning about the workings of the human brain. Despite this, his parents always glorified his oldest brother James and ignored him and his other brother Lukas for the most part.

Despite being the yougest, Lance moved out of the house first. He attend Keiser University in Fort Lauderdale where he graduated as one of the top students in the class. Soon after graduating he began working at a local hospital. While working there he met Anna Lopez, a nurse who dreamed of being a Marine Biologist. Lance fell in love with her, wanting to spend the rest of his life with her. They worked at the hospital for a year before Lance asked her out. Eventually they started dating and moved in together. Anna looked for a job as a Marine Biologist for years but she realized she needed a better education first. She went to grad school for two years and after she graduated Lance proposed. They got married in 2003 and two years later they had a son named Peter who had many mental problems.

Having a son with a unique brain made Lance even more fascinated by the human mind. In 2007, Anna finally got the job of her dreams but it required her to move to Marathon, a small town in the Florida Keys. Lance knew he couldn't continue working as a neurosurgeon from there but he valued his wife over his career so he gladly moved. He took a break from the stress of work and spent time with his son. Eventually he got a job doing brain research that he was able to do from home. He, Anna and Peter lived happily in the Florida Keys for six years until tragedy struck.

In 2013, Peter's brother Lukas, motivated by powerful drugs and childhood neglect, kidnapped Lance's wife and son and proceeded to murder his wife and brainwash his son. Lance spent years trying to find his family but he eventually gave up, believing them to be dead. Both his parents were dead, his family was dead, and both his brothers were no where to be found. Confused and alone, Lance was the lowest he had ever been but he continued doing research by experimenting on his own brain to see the effects of extreme and sudden loss. In 2018, Lance discovered that his son had been alive the whole time when his nephews rescued him from his brother's fortress in Cuba.

Newly reunited with his son and happier than he had been in five years, Lance began looking for work as a neurosurgeon again. He got a very good job offer in Adelaide, Australia so he and Peter moved across the world to start a new life. Lance worked for a year and a half, trying to restore his sons memory while also completing countless brain operations. In 2020 he tried a particularly risky brain experiment attempting to give his consciousness to his son temporarily. Unfortunately, Lukas was able to stop the operation from working and give himself full control of both Lance and Peter. The Tuckerson boat holding all four of Lance's other nephews was floating near Adelaide at the time so Lukas used their bodies to fight the brothers. Eventually Lukas used Lance to kill his own son, after that Lukas lost control of Lance's mind and Lance gained conciousness. As soon as Lance realized what he had done, he shot himself in the head and fell off the boat.
