Steve is a failed military experiment of the US Government that attempted to create a super soldier. He befriended Scott offscreen in the gap between Season 2 and 3 of the main series. Steve was permitted to join the DJN to give his life purpose after the war. Steve presses on in life to protect and raise his son. Also Steve first appeared as an antagonist, he quickly rose to the status of anti-hero and has integrated into the culture of DJN. Steve continues to be used as a obstacle for certain members of the group, and enjoys participating in John's schemes to overthrow the High Council.

## Background

When Steve was old enough, he joined the US military to fight the never ending war in the Middle East. After an injury that cost him his right arm, Steve agreed to be experimented on in a state funded attempt to create super soldiers. However, the attempts ended in failure. Steve was permitted to go to the front lines, but he unfortunately died in combat which devastated Scott who was undergoing a tough period in his life. Scott extracted his DNA in an attempt to clone him, but the sample was corrupted. Scott decided to fill in the gaps with DNA he extracted from Garry. This ended in success, but Steve had no memories and was weakened from the corrupted DNA. Steve would develop cancerous growths limiting his lifespan to 6 months.

Scott went back to the drawing board and created a cloning system to revive Steve. He developed technology that would allow him to record memories digitally. These memories would then be automatically uploaded to a new clone's brain chip. Scott used a version of the digitizing chamber created from Antonio's development team based on Scott's original design to upgrade the cloning process. Anytime Steve died, the system would automatically initiate a new clone of Steve in the lab. Steve's memories would then be uploaded into his brain to be reborn.

Scott also installed an inhibitor chip to make sure Steve was unaware of the cloning process to protect his psyche, but there are some side effects including; tinnitus, déjà vu, confusion, imposter syndrome, and thoughts of suicide. The added mental stress of the procedure and hidden memories of reality causes PTSD.
