**Dr. Yi Suchong** is a major antagonist in the *BioShock* video game series, serving as the posthumous secondary antagonist of *BioShock*, a posthumous character in *BioShock 2*, and the secondary antagonist of *BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea*. Usually referring to himself in the third person, Suchong was a cold, cruel and arrogant man who used every single tragic event around him for his own ends, and is responsible for creating the Big Daddies and experimenting on the Little Sisters.

He was voiced by James Yaegashi.

## Personality

Yi Suchong was the embodiment of a scientist "unbound by petty morality". He did not care who his employer was or what their motivations were, so long as he was paid handsomely for his services. Although his principal concern was always how he himself could benefit financially from his research, his secondary motive seems to have been scientific advancement, regardless of collateral damage. Even the deaths of his patients provided valuable insight: after the clinical trials for Telekinesis showed it was possible to stop a bullet in mid-air if not for slow human reaction times, Suchong was inspired to create the Sports Boost plasmid. As a result, he was perfectly willing to collaborate with the invading Japanese Army, regardless of the consequences of his actions. This indifference later extended to his treatment of the Little Sisters. Unlike Tenenbaum, who would later show remorse for her actions, Suchong always viewed the Little Sisters as tools to keep Rapture alive and little else, ignoring the remnants of their humanity completely. He also displayed signs of egomania, for instance, using his own birthday as a door code. Unfortunately, his overconfidence and lack of empathy to human life proved to be his undoing, along with his temper, as after smacking one of the Little Sisters in a fit of rage, he was caught off-guard by a Big Daddy and brutally killed, unaware that Elizabeth had discovered the bonding process moments earlier. As evidenced by his announcements addressed to her in *Burial at Sea*, Suchong is also abrasive.

## Biography

Suchong was born sometime in Korea, on December 16, with the year being unknown. When World War II occurred, Suchong used the war to his own benefit by selling opium and using the money he earned to fund his experiments. When this was found out, Suchong fled to Rapture to escape punishment, down there he would continue his experiments.

### *BioShock*

Suchong worked with Frank Fontaine on numerous experiments, which included turning little girls into little sisters. Suchong is also the creator of the big daddies, which were brutes designed to protect the little sisters. When Fontaine faked his death, Suchong moved on to work for Andrew Ryan, where he continued his experiments for money. At some point, Stanley Poole sold Elanor Lamb to Suchong so he could turn her into a little sister, and turn Johnny Topside into a big daddy, however eventually they were both freed. Suchong also collaborated with Jeremiah Fink to open tears. Suchong made a deal with Elizabeth in exchange for a little girl named Sally. Eventually, Suchong suffered a karmic death at the hands of a big daddy.

### Legacy

Despite his death, Suchong's legacy would live on as he was the creator of the big daddies, and was the one who made Jack obedient with "would you kindly".

## Behind the Scenes

* In *BioShock*, the drill found in Suchong still has the Bouncer's guard ring attached whereas in *Burial at Sea - Episode 2*, the guard ring remains on the Bouncer. This is a mistake made by the developers.
* Suchong is the only character to ever be seen recording a message on an Audio Diary. In *Burial at Sea*, Elizabeth witnesses him recording "Protection Bond", but is unable to pick it up once he is killed.
* The audio diary Mind Control Test can be found in Suchong's hidden laboratory, next to a note which reads 'SEND TO RYAN', revealing that Suchong planned to reveal Jack's creation to Ryan, but he was killed by a Big Daddy before he got the chance. Thanks to Elizabeth, who took the diary and the Ace in the Hole, Ryan did not discover the truth about Jack until a year later.
* In *BioShock*, he uses the Dr. Grossman model, with blood covering the model's deformities. In *Burial at Sea - Episode 2*, he is given his own unique character model.
* His audio diary portrait is the only one among those from both *BioShock Infinite* and its DLCs that is drawn, as well as having bloodstains on it (*BioShock*).
* In the removed audio diary Lamb's Gambit, it is implied by Gilbert Alexander that Subject Delta killed Suchong as ordered by Sofia Lamb. This plot point was dropped entirely as it was related to earlier story revisions altered from the finished game, and later rendered entirely non-canon by the events of *Burial at Sea*.
