Abigail Wallace

Dr. Abby Wallace joined the staff at Blackstone around the same time as Joshua Drummer, and while she was an innovative inventor and designer of superhuman restraints, previous wardens disliked her no-nonsense attitude and unwillingness to play politics. Her demands for more humane treatment of prisoners and calls to redesign much of the prison were also unpopular.
When Joshua Drummer was promoted to Warden, he promoted Abby to Chief of Security and got her the budget she needed to redesign Blackstone the way she envisioned it. It took three years to complete the revamp of the prison, but Blackstone’s record has improved and there’s no denying the prison is safer and more secure than ever. Abby, while brilliant, lacks tact and tends to step on people’s toes. She spends most of her time in Blackstone’s C&C, monitoring “her baby” or designing new cells for incoming prisoners. She used to have a life away from the prison, but her husband died in the Terminus Invasion and she’s spent the years since becoming more and more consumed by her work.
She had a brief affair with John Warden when the two of them worked together redesigning Blackstone, but she realizes now their relationship was largely a way of consoling her grief over the death of her husband, and it blinded her to Warden’s obsessions. The breakup was bitter, and she wonders if it was part of what pushed John to become a super-criminal.
