Richard Toiho

Doctor Richard Toiho is a paraphysician who works for the Nova Studies Division of Project Utopia. He has two major areas of study: why aberrations develop and why the Mazarin-Rashoud Node only develops in adolescence.

History
Doctor Toiho was a graduate of Oxford University and a contemporary of Spencer Balmer. In fact, Balmer beat Toiho to Valedictorian.

After graduation, Toiho worked a private medical research company which was later bought out by the Triton Foundation. While there he helped develop the drugs adrenocilin and moxinoquantamine which were revolutionary in helping newly Erupted Novas control their powers. Later, he was asked to join Project Utopia was a full-time paraphysician in Utopia's Nova Studies Division.

Eventually, Doctor Toiho was approached by Director Thetis of Project Proteus to clandestinely assist in Proteus Projects.

Storyteller Info
Doctor Toiho has a private subterranean laboratory beneath the Bahrain Rashoud Facility. He uses the nova prisoners and occasional volunteers to conduct his experiments. He ultimately seeks to find a cure for the side-effects of quantum channeling. His other major project are a small population of infant novas gene-spliced to have an M-R Node from birth which he called The Children.

The Director of the Bahrain Facility, Montressor, selects his test-subjects for him. Recently, however, their relationship has deteriorated after one of The Children managed to escape the facility under Doctor Toiho's supervision.
