Waders



The Splicer model "Waders" is one of Rapture's many religious fanatics, despite the atheist orientation imposed by Ryan. As the name would suggest, he is dressed in fisherman's wading boots. His accent and some of his dialog indicate that he may be of Spanish or Latin American origin. Peach Wilkins, Frank Fontaine, and Atlas appear to be variations of this model. He appears in Neptune's Bounty, Smuggler's Hideout, Farmer's Market, Hephaestus, Apollo Square and in the Fontaine (Level).

He appears to either have had the skin of someone else's eye area grafted onto his, or to be wearing it as some form of mask, presumably for "Father" (likely God or at least the voice of God he seems to hear in his head), as he mentions "I wore it for you, Father!". He also can be heard screaming about God's light when he is alone.

Trivia

 * The face of the Waders model in BioShock is based on a that of a WWI veteran, Walter Yeo, who underwent facial reconstructive surgery by Sir Harold Gillies, a surgeon who is considered the father of plastic surgery.


 * The original Pigskin model concept has an extreme likeness to the Waders model, especially the "skin mask" over its face.
