'''''Colonel Paul Fischer''''' is a fictional character in novel ''[[Ancestor]]'' by author [[Scott Sigler]]. Fischer is a member of [[Wikipedia: United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases|USAMRIID]] and more specifically in what is known as the ''special threats division''. Fischer represents the pursuing government force which is pursuing the ''[[Ancestor (creature)|Ancestor]]'' project run by the [[Genada Corporation]].

==Character Background==
===Life Prior to the events in Ancestor===
Not much is known about Fischer’s background prior to the [[Ancestor|novel]]. Fischer’s main area of expertise is the threat posed by [[Wikipedia: xenotransplantation|Xenotransplantation]]. It is stated in the early chapters of the novel that Fischer has actually seen the affects of a disease which crossed-species (which is the main threat posed by [[Wikipedia: xenotransplantation|Xenotransplantation]] as human beings would have no immunity to such a disease)as he had seen someone die from just such a disease.

===Events of Ancestor===
In the opening chapters of the [[Ancestor|novel]], Fischer is brought in by [[Murray Longworth]] (of ''[[Infected]]'' and ''[[Contagious]]'' fame), to review the disaster at the [[Novozyme]] Facility in Greenland. [[Novozyme]] was working in the field of [Wikipedia: xenotransplantation|Xenotransplantation], attempting to modify the genomes of pigs to include human proteins; this would (theoretically) allow pig organs to be used in human beings. Unfortunately this allowed a disease, which was natural to the pigs used in the experiment, to cross over to human beings. Thankfully Novazyme scientists, in particular the lead researcher [[Pons Matal|Dr. Pons Matal]], contained the outbreak by locking down the [[Novozyme]] facility even through it would result in the death of all those inside. Indeed, After reviewing the scene, it was Fischer who gave the final command to bomb the facility with two fuel-air bombs incinerating everything within a one-mile radius.

After the bombing, [[Murray Longworth|Longworth]] Sends Fischer after [[Genada Corporation|Genada]] as he and the president are convinced they represent the greatest threat. The U.S. Governemnt had information showing the [[Genada Corporation|Genada]] had previously been using human experimentation, though that aspect of the project had been shut down in favor of [[Ancestor (creature)|Ancestor]] project. Fischer was against this move as he understood that [[Genada Corporation|Genada’s]] approach would not allow for the cross-over of non-human viruses. But with orders on high, Fischer would begin his plans to find the [[Genada Corporation|Genada]] facility, and stop them using any means necessary.

==Attributes==
===Family===
In the opening chapters on the [[Ancestor|novel]] it is said that Fischer has a son and an ex-wife name Claire. It is unknown at this point whether that son is intended to be [[Paul Fischer]] of ''[[Nocturnal]]'' Fame.

===Personality===
Fischer is described as being dedicated to his job and very intelligent. While he has respect for those in authority and will follow orders, he has a certain level of contempt for members of the administration who interfere in matters they do not have knowledge of.

===Skills===
Fischer can be seen as the U.S. government’s expert on the potential threats posed by [[Wikipedia: xenotransplantation|Xenotransplantation]].

==Alterations from Original Podcast==
In the original podcast version of ''[[Ancestor]]'' Colonel Paul Fischer was a character known as [[Sydney Chapman]]. Where Fischer is a member of the U.S. military (hence his rank of Colonel), Chapman is not given a rank and is passed off a more of a civilian operator associated with one of the U.S. Intelligence agencies.

==Fan Based Character==
[[image:Fan_PaulFischer.jpg|left]]
The character of Paul Fischer is named for the devoted [[junkie]] by the same name whose avatar is pictured at the left. This dedicated [[junkie]] can be found on Twitter at this [https://twitter.com/pfischer alternate link]. Paul also has the rare privilege of having his name used for another character in the novel ''[[Nocturnal]''<br/><br/><br/>
