Rosalind Lutece is a quantum physicist in BioShock Infinite, who wrote books about scientific studies on alternate universes, as well as guide Booker DeWitt through his adventures in Columbia to retrieve Elizabeth.
History
From a young age, Rosalind decided she wanted to be a physicist.[1] She went on to meet Zachary Hale Comstock, helping him to create the floating city of Columbia. Through experimentation, Rosalind discovered the existence of alternate universes and used them to meet an alternate version of herself, Robert Lutece, who she refers to as "Brother". After reporting this information to Father Comstock, she was ordered to find a way to create a Tear to enter these universes. With the help of Robert, Rosalind created a contraption that allowed them to see into Tears. Using this machine, Comstock believed he could see into the future, and decided to steal his child from an alternative universe after discovering that the machine made him sterile. The Luteces then find Booker DeWitt and convinced him that they'd wipe his debt in exchange for his daughter, Anna. Booker agreed, and Anna was pulled through a tear, now being regarded as Elizabeth, the Lamb of Columbia.
As Elizabeth grew older, it was discovered that she had the power to open Tears. Rosalind suspected this was due to her finger remaining in her home universe.[2] Seeing that Elizabeth would fulfill Comstock's prophecy, Robert threatened to leave Rosalind if she did not join him in sending Elizabeth back to where she came. Discovering this plan, Comstock ordered Jeremiah Fink to sabotage the machine they used to access Tears, which was believed to kill them both. Instead, they were scattered among the possibility universe, able to traverse wherever and whenever they wanted. They continued their plan in this state, and went on to find Booker DeWitt once again.
BioShock Infinite
The Luteces pull Booker into their universe, letting him piece together a false memory as they take him to a Lighthouse, the entrance to Columbia, on a boat. They leave him with a box of his belongings, a pistol, and other possessions that will help Booker with his mission. Shortly after Booker enters the city, he receives a telegram from Rosalind, warning him not to pick #77 at the raffle. Later on, he meets Rosalind and Robert for what seems like the first time. They ask him to call a coin toss, which will end up being heads regardless of what Booker guesses. They continue to guide Booker through his adventure in Columbia, making sure that he plays out their plan. Often they will offer him choices, bickering about what he chose.
Rosalind's books also feature in parts of Columbia, some of which are found in Elizabeth's room.
Novels mentioned
- The Principles of Quantum Mechanics-In the VGA 2012 trailer, its seen as one of the books Elizabeth has in her hands. She almost hits Booker in the face with it upon her first meeting with him.
- Barriers to Trans-Dimensional Travel- A quote from this text is mentioned at the start of the introduction. Its publication date is 1889.

Trivia
- The Lutece siblings share similarities with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, characters from Alice in Wonderland.
- Rosalind Lutece is voiced by Jennifer Hale
- Shooting either of the twins in The Blue Ribbon restaurant will result in Lutece saying "you missed" several times before ultimately stating "we can do this all day".
- If you stay near the Luteces after the coin flipping scene, Rosalind will tell you to leave several times, before saying "If you don't go, I'll be forced to start repeating myself;" after which she does so. This is a prod at the game mechanics, which gives characters only a limited amount of recorded lines which they must repeat after a while.
