Aldwin Wo

"*That's when I see him—a tall, lean Asian boy who used to live three doors down from me. He's sitting on a beach blanket, surrounded by more shells than one ocean could possibly offer, and he's got them all organized by size, by shape, by color, in endless rows and patterns.
Aldwin Wo, the last of the Osiris clones.*"
—Eli Frieden, *Payback*

**Aldwin Wo** is a Chinese boy cloned from criminal mastermind Q. Sinjin Lee, who ran one of the largest smuggling operations in American history. This happened as a result of Project Osiris, a cruel experiment executed by scientist Felix Hammerstrom.

Aldwin was brought up in the artificial town of Serenity, New Mexico, never venturing outside of its borders until vacationing to Poseidon Resort and Water Park in West Cay, Bahamas, where he learned the dark truth about himself. After Project Osiris was announced to be over, he went to live with internet billionaire Tamara Dunleavy and the ten other Osiris clones in her mansion in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

He also attends Jackson Hole High School as a freshman in September.

## Biography

Aldwin was born to a surrogate mother around 2002 in Serenity, New Mexico. Nothing is known about his surrogate parents, but he likely had a surrogate father as well. He lived three doors down from Eli Frieden.

Shortly after Eli Frieden, Tori Pritel, Amber Laska, Malik Bruder and Hector Amani escaped from his hometown, Aldwin was told that the other kids had come down with a bad illness and sent to a hospital in Santa Fe to be cured and distanced from the others. He then traveled to Poseidon Resort and Water Park along with the other clones and other residents of Serenity as part of Hammerstrom's plan to hide and prevent them from escaping as well.

In Poseidon, Aldwin was photographed by a few investigators Tamara Dunleavy had sent to the water park to make sure that Eli's theory was true, and the other clones really had been sent to the Bahamas. He was seen on an inner tube while passing through artificial rapids on a lazy river.

When Eli, Tori, Amber, Malik and Hector were in Poseidon in an attempt to get the remaining clones to escape with them, they were caught by Margaret Rauha's mother and had to run away. All of the clones were with them, except for Aldwin himself. Although Amber remembered him while running and tried to convince the others to go back, they refused, not willing to risk it.

However, they eventually headed towards the resort's main beach in order to lose themselves in the crowd and spotted Aldwin there, sitting on a beach blanket surrounded by a variety of shells he had organized. Amber instantly marched towards him, and although it took Aldwin a few seconds to recognize her due to her recently-dyed black hair, he was up on his feet and hugging her before being interrupted by C. J. Rackoff. As the kids ran once again, this time with all the clones in tow, Aldwin brought up the rear.

After Project Osiris had officially ended, Aldwin was adopted by Tamara Dunleavy and went to live with her, along with the ten other Osiris clones, in her gigantic mansion located on a ranch near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He was a freshman attending Jackson Hole High School by the end of the trilogy.

## Personality and traits

Aldwin seems to generally be a quiet and organized person. He is first seen surrounded by many shells from the ocean, all organized in different categories, showing his organized and neat personality. Aldwin can also be caring, as he hugged Amber without a second thought upon seeing her in Poseidon and realizing that she was healthy.
