C.W. (first name Cecil) is one of the main characters in Obduction. He is the only human the player interacts with in person, though this occurs almost exclusively through the window of his vault. C.W. was abducted in 1870 in a forest[1] that was probably located in the Southern United States. At the time of his abduction, he was about to be hanged. He left behind his wife Emma and young Scarlett, his daughter.[2][3]

Even so, C.W. feels hemmed in by the limits of Hunrath and wants to "go home". During the game he is working on setting up his Focal panels by the Tree and use it as a huge swap device to move the whole Cell back to Earth.

C.W. is portrayed by Robyn Miller, brother of Rand Miller, game developer[4] and co-founder of Cyan, Inc. Robyn also composed the Obduction Soundtrack.

Trivia[]

1870 was during the Reconstruction era. Violence and hangings in the Southern United States were quite commonplace at the time.
