- “I don't care how crazy it sounds -- a way outta Rapture's music to my ears. Next Sunday morning… I'll be there.”
- ― Jackie Rodkins[src]
Jackie Rodkins was a citizen of Rapture who managed to survive the worst of the Rapture Civil War. He was a presumed resident of Pauper's Drop.
History[]
After Sofia Lamb gained control over the underwater city (post-1960), Rodkins started to hear gossip about a man called Simon Wales and he began hosting a weekly "worship service" in Siren Alley under The Rapture Family. Rodkins became interested when he heard that the cult offered immortality, salvation, and the thing that got Rodkins hooked: a way out of Rapture. At this point, Rodkins was desperate enough to try anything to escape the fallen utopia, so he started going to Simon's lectures.[1]

It's possible that an ADAM corpse found in the furnished apartment Skid Row by Subject Delta is Rodkins, judging by its proximity to the Audio Diary found next to it.
