Ernst Wessen

Dr. Ernst Wessen (born 2001) was a former AmTech employee and lecturer at the London Academy, as well as creator of the Light.

Life
Wessen's doctoral advisor in pure mathematics was the founder of AmTech, Dr. Greg Newsay. As a consequence, Wessen started working at AmTech from 2030 until shortly before the Shutdown. After the Shutdown, he moved to the London District, rejecting the position of chairman of AmTech. He became a teacher at the only university-like institution for third class citizens, the London Academy, where he taught for twenty years. His protégé was Dave Soul, whom he recommended for a position at the University.

Death
During a private lesson with Dave, Dr. Wessen collapsed because of a heart attack and knocked his head against the edge of a table, causing immediate death. The heart attack was ruled as the cause of death, clearing Dave of suspicion.
