Doctor Maxime Duponte

Doctor Maxime Duponte is a French scientist who was working with the Werner Institute since ██████.

He is an important figure within the Institute, and is the head of staff in Werner Asylum. He runs the day-to-day actives while Mr. Werner runs the Institute.

He is known for many breakthroughs in mental and physical health sciences, and is known for being able to calm mental patients at remarkable efficiency and speed.

He is also named a human right's violator by several activists, reporters, and groups for his repeated use of both Werner personnel and patients within the Asylum.

Psychophobia I
He was with the students inside of the chamber on the day of the Up-link, and was with them throughout their quest. He is a professional man, but he had drawn and fired at Mr. Tall, causing his death in the one "un-reality". He was placed back into the real world, in a catatonic state. He awoke a mere ten minutes after the students awoke, and was violently assaulted by the students. Their brains were fried, he said.

"And while the experiment was a success, it is sad that the students had to undergo such extreme duress. It pains me that they must now live in their own nightmare."

Psychophobia II
He as pushed to release the students by Abraham, and eventually had spoken with Mr. Werner himself. He convinced his boss and some of the staff, and eventually the students were released, his final words to them were..

"You can all go home now, the nightmare is over."

Death
He was killed on ██████, ██████, the day that the Students raided the Asylum. Hundreds of staff and patients were slaughtered, including the men who pushed for their release, Duponte himself and the janitor Abraham.

He now rests in his family's estate in █████, Louisiana.
