Sofia Lamb

"Rapture is a body, Delta. I am the voice and Big Sister is the hand. When Rapture speaks of you it says only this: sleep now for your day is done!"

- Sofia Lamb

"In light of the world to come, your sacrifice is nothing. Out of your pain, paradise was born. Like all I have done, this is an act of love."

- Sofia Lamb

Dr. Sofia Lamb M.D, Ph.D, is a former psychiatrist and the primary antagonist of BioShock 2. She has taken over Andrew Ryan's position as the leader of Rapture, albeit with a completely different ideological view.

History
Lamb was an old political rival of Ryan, and is in many ways his polar opposite. She was invited down to Rapture by Ryan himself in 1950, as he was in search of an expert to deal with the psychological problems experienced by the city's populace as a result of living under the sea. Before she came to Rapture, Lamb had been a missionary working to provide medical relief after the bombing of Hiroshima, and her experience of this great tragedy convinced her that the world was doomed. Therefore she accepted the chance to come to Rapture. Andrew Ryan later regretted bringing her in after discovering her ideologies largely clashed with his own. In 1958, Lamb was thrown in prison while her daughter, Eleanor, was turned into a Little Sister and bonded to Subject Delta. A year later, in the midst of the Civil War, Lamb managed to escape and, through the use of a mind-control plasmid, forced Delta to kill himself. She then went into hiding until after the events of BioShock.

Dr. Lamb is an altruist, and believes every person has a duty to the world, and she has allowed those beliefs to corrupt her. She is a part of Rapture's history, and it will be explained in BioShock 2 why she didn't appear during the events of the original BioShock. Her altruist vision, written in her book Metamorphosis & Transformation, has been altered by her lieutenant and fellow physician, Father Wales, into a cult called the Rapture Family, so as to attract as many Splicers as possible to their cause.

BioShock 2
Lamb comes into conflict with the player's character, Subject Delta when he awakens from his slumber and begins his search for the Little Sister that was bonded to him ten years earlier. This perticular Little Sister is immensly important to The Rapture Family, and creates a conflict between the Delta and Sofia Lamb. The Little Sister's name is Eleanor Lamb, and she is rumored to be the biological daughter to Sofia. Delta follows Dr. Lamb, as well as her daughter, through Rapture.

Trivia

 * For a time, her name was believed to be Sophia Lamb. But, as later confirmed by 2K Games' Community Manager, Elizabeth Tobey, that version of the name was a misspelling made by the media. The correct spelling is Sofia Lamb.
