Anton Edison
Niles is Anton's father. They don't seem to have a good relationship as can be seen either way if you chose to recruit Anton or not: If you recruit them both, they immediately start bickering if they are both in your crew. Anton believes that Niles too old fashioned, while Niles believes Anton relies too much on technology.

If you haven't recruited Anton, Niles will compliment you for not being 'daft' and states that although he sees potential in his son, Anton "has his nose just where it shouldn't be". He thinks his son takes too many risks since he considers himself invincible while Niles believes it takes more experienced people to do dangerous tasks.

Your Character
You can choose to recruit either Edison or Sybil to act as your crew's thief.
