John Francis Vater was an Anglican Marine in the Church during the 51st century and was funded by Villengard. He had a daughter, Splice Alison Vater In 5087, he was stationed at Kastarion 3 with Splice, gaining special permission to take her there as her mother had died. He befriended Mundy Flynn and led a unit there.
On 5 October, he was wounded, going blind in the field. On the way back, he contacted Splice to assure her he was coming home. However, his escort was killed by a Smartmine and a Villengard Ambulance unit scanned him through the Villengard Algorithm and deemed his recovery time to be too long to be economically convenient, smelting him and converting his remaining consciousness into an AI interface.

BEHIND THE SCENES
“Vater” is the German word for father. It has the same double meaning: a sort of priest and a male parent.
