Nigel
The Einstein. Nigel is the one who is least likely to contribute to the plotlline, but will probably make you laugh, or at least feel better about your own intelligence.
Nigel was once a member of a great and powerful alien civilization, now long gone. His race was extremely mentally developed, and relied on a hive mind in which all their knowledge was shared among them telepathically. When his race was hunted down, he therefore lost much knowledge of his alien heritage. He has forgotten much of what happened leading up to this point, but still occasionally remembers snippets of his life among the other Nigels.
Nigel's Einstein action figure is actually alive. It contains the mind and soul of another of Nigel's people, and may or may not be realted to him. Einstein has managed to retain much of his people's intelligence for reasons unknown, but is hesitant to use it in the presence of Max.
"I. . .umm.. . .it. . .pie. . .language. . .eggs. . .wildebeests. . .Dammit, Max!" -- Nigel
