Deputy Stevens

Deputy Stevens is Brevard's second-in-command and an investigator of the bloodstained cryopod and later armory searches.

Story so far

Stevens photographed the bloodstained pod and initially theorized that an attacker had subdued its owner elsewhere before placing him inside. He reported a single chest gunshot and estimated from the blood that it was less than a month old, suspecting that someone with medical training had inserted an IV and catheter to preserve the body. He suggested involving the Shepherd and speculated about a murder of passion.

Stevens and Captain Brevard later told Darcy that the earlier lift samples all matched the victim. He has also helped Darcy search the armory level several times.
