Goal: Soulless Science: Science is the one and only goal in life, no one and nothing else matters. The pursuit and progression of Science is worth any and all cost, from burning off all your secretary's body hair to accidentally teleporting Rhode Island into the 27th dimension. The Betterment of Science
ultimately means the betterment of Mankind, so obviously the ends justify the means.

Personality: Humans are unquantifiable, whereas science is a rock hard certainty; it is everywhere and in all things, the true and absolute God of creation and the universe. A person changes from day to day, happy to sad, one human is too cold and the other too hot though they stand in the same room. However the temperature is not changing, it is science and science is Law. There is still much left unknown, yet ignorance of the Law is no excuse or example of its absence. Sure others have tried to go into uncharted territories before, but they never took the risks and were willing to pay the price for what knowledge they sought. Early scientists were willing to sail the oceans just to prove they wouldn't fall off, putting their lives and beliefs on the line for academic gain; can the True Scientist of this day and age dare be any less aggressive?

History: Issac was always a curious child, asking how lights worked and so on. This didn't bother his parents, for Ben Franklin had been much the same in his youth. However during a trip with his parents to New England he got separated while on a tour and got lost. He found what he thought was an actor clad from the Revolutionary War and asked for help, the soldier smiled and told him how to get back; then, the stranger walked directly into a stone wall, and vanished.

Issac found his family once more, and told them what had happened. They denounced it, though the tour guide took this chance to tell of a soldier who had been on patrol in the area, and was thought to still be looking out for the residents of the Colonies.

This fascinated the boy, and he tried to explain the ghost in a logical manner. His parents got tired of him speaking up about it so he left them alone, yet continued to read books and papers trying to prove that science supported such an entity.

Issac's entire educational experience could be summed up in many attempts to explain the unexplained. Anything others said was impossible, he simply saw as a challenge.

In the end, he had a bunch of degrees that weren't in high demand in the everyday workforce.

Issac was employed by a university for a short while, but his time there ended when an experiment shorted out the entire school's electrical system.
This, and some background radiation, made it difficult for him to find more work in the world of academia.
