Jack McClendon



Jack McClendon is the head robotics engineer and owner of McClendon Robotics, located in Minerva's Den.

History
Through his company, McClendon developed many robots that served Rapture and its citizens for years. Although his line of Security Bots and Turrets were the most popular during the Rapture Civil War, his more domestic robots were just as useful in Minerva's Den.

When Andrew Ryan offered him a contract to develop Robotic Little Sisters, McClendon took the offer, even though the contract didn't cover the research and development costs, including the use of Sea Slugs. But believing this to be a successful venture, McClendon assured Ryan that his company will fund it all, and eventually a full production line was manufactured. However, Ryan's field tests eventually showed that the Big Daddy protectors ignored the Robotic Little Sisters, forcing McClendon to flood his workshop with the entire line and its unfinished components. As evident from his Audio Diary, McClendon's costly mistake of this failed line of robots led to his eventual alcoholism and bitterness.
