Dr. Adam Tessler
Nicky Sanders
Security measures at Waiklund
Dr Adam Tessler is tall, strong-jawed and dark-haired, with a commanding and charismatic presence. His brilliance is well-known and yet he also has the added gifts of being both approachable and a good listener. He garners huge public respect for keeping Waiklund running like a well-oiled machine. During his eight year tenure as Director, his calm guardianship keeps residents secure, and his mysterious past is catnip to the ladies. Tessler has been married for 19 years to Mary Ellen and they have two teenage sons who go to Normal High. They both serve on local non-profit boards, and are very philanthropic.
Nicky Sanders is an ambitious, conniving redhead, who is executive assistant to Dr Tessler. She started out with little experience (but a great connection), and worked her way up the corporate ladder. Anyone who wants any dealings with the top brass at Waiklund needs to go through Nicky. She's manipulative and usually gets what she wants.
The institute has 95 guards, and visitors must pass through several levels of security to enter.
