John Harker

Dr. John Harker is a renowned scientist and theorist responsible for the founding and maintaining of the Two Worlds Program. He also acts the the Earth Correspondent of Earth II.

Early life
John William Harker was born on the 31st of August 1964 in Devonshire, England, to Mary and John Harker. Though their marriage was happy, John was actually the result of an affair between his mother and later mentor Charles Starkley.

Graduating high school at the age of sixteen, he is one of the youngest alumni of the Cambridge Institute; doubling in science and astrophysics. At university he met fellow brilliant mind James Stoker, who shared John's passion for inter dimensional theory and the further studying of other worlds beyond our own.



Marriage
Although they made significant headway in the study of inter dimensional theories, John and Stoker had a falling out after Stoker injected himself with a particularly dangerous concoction to affirm a theory. John later found several "tests"; people who had been similarly injected, in comatose states at Stoker's lab.

He parted ways with Stoker, and soon after he met his wife Sarah. A fellow scientist, John's passion was reinvigorated by her, and they married, while continuing their studies. John and his wife soon discovered she was pregnant, and she gave birth to a daughter, Alice Harker shortly after their marriage. Shortly after Alice's birth, the man who had mentored John years before, Charles Starkley, returned from out of nowhere, and after coaxing his way into John's life presumably killed both his daughter and wife. Starkley planted the murders on John, but he was allowed to flee the United Kingdom by the government due to his "important research" and was taken under the wing of the US government and NASA

Two Worlds Program
Following the family tragedy, John relocated to the United States and resumed his studies, funded by the government and in-part NASA. The technology John would later perfect was founded in his theory of interstellar travel; a device that would hypothetically cover massive distances in a matter of seconds, but would ultimately be extremely dangerous and prone to failure.

John established the Two Worlds Program in Washington, with the assistance of his protege and confidant Amanda Shaw. On an expedition to the Middle East John and Amanda recruited medic Dominic Williams, who joined on the project as a medical adviser.
