Friends? What are friends good for, other than tiring, useless soundboards. Vapid ideas bouncing between even the most brilliant of minds, some of whom seem more infatuated with the idea of fame and status than the pursuit of knowledge. No, Micah never needed friends. That social itch was always buried amidst research and thought, both of science and the arts. Those closest to Micah platonically are his Cypher work partners, of whom he discusses theory and practicum, and even with they he eventually fatigues, for his struggles to communicate the lightning-fast processes of his thoughts may mean he is truly and wholly alone in this world.
Sex and love never motivated Micah. He is a more an outside observer to this universal human want and need. He is curious of it, in the way a human may gaze upon an exotic and caged creature- intriguing by its inability to be understood, yet not envied, for it lacks freedom. Those that show an interest in the scientist may find their advances harshly rebuked, or worst, exploited for the benefit of satiating Micah's fiendish hunger for knowledge.
Micah does not possess enemies in the traditional sense. He feels like any other person- anger, sadness and betrayal amongst those basic emotions. But it manifests selfishly in Micah. Anger, because one interfered with the meticulous routine of his day. Sadness, because his theory proved wrong despite his life's dedication and effort. Betrayal, when his co-workers fail to acknowledge his breakthroughs an genius. His enemies come from different stocks in life, but they all possess one commonality- they incur restraints on Micah's greatest purpose.
Micah is born to Dr. Calvin and Dr. Ann Scofield in the Inner Citadel. They are affluent not only because of their reputation and status but their continued honored place in society as no nonsense doctors and scientists.
Micah has a brother and sister who also take up honorific roles, however his younger brother is an altruist who spends most of his time serving people in the poor districts, much to the disapproval of their parents.
From an early age, one can tell what Micah would grow up to be. He spent most days alone, as opposed to playing with the neighborhood children, and from the moment he could read (which he achieved earlier than most kids) he had his nose in a nonfiction book, thirsty for knowledge.
He publishes his first scientific medical study on the effects of paracetamol on the common cold.
From ages 15-24, he becomes an apprentice to a relative who serves as a Military doctor. At age 24 he gets hired by the Military to become an R&D scientist.
Whilst serving as a scientist, due to long hours and frustration at the limits of the human mind, he becomes addicted to cocaine. He is currently hounded by the Spade's Gang, in which they regularly supply him with drugs and he offers healing services to the gang members for free (plus a small fee).
At age 33 Micah learns more and becomes scientifically obsessed with DraC-2. He opens a clinic in the poor regions of the Stronghold, under the guise of "free healthcare", when patients are in reality experiments for compounds he believes to replicate the virus. This has earned him the nickname of "Dr. Death" to those that are keen to his experiments.
