Amid Halebi or The Engineer is a character who appeared only in the 72-minute extended version of In His Own Image, the original pilot, that was shown at Comic-Con 2006 in San Diego. He had the ability to project radiation from his hands.
Character History
In His Own Image
Matt Parkman is on the scene of an investigation into a suspected terrorist cell. FBI agents arrive and search the house, but find no trace of the engineer. They discuss his involvement in a number of terrorist plots. Matt's telepathic powers begin to emerge and he locates a member of the terrorist cell hiding under a grate.
Meanwhile, in an apartment elsewhere the Engineer is preparing to commit suicide by hanging himself when several armed terrorists break into his apartment. They take him off to the headquarters of their cell, where their leader questions him. The engineer, a former terrorist and member of their cell himself, explains that he left the organization because he fell in love and married a Western woman, but that she has died of cancer. The leader tells him he wants to cause an explosion in a major city, and that he's already tested a smaller version of the explosion in a small town—the crashed nuclear regulatory train in Odessa, TX—but that he needs the engineer's expertise to pull it off. The engineer then demonstrates his power by causing a glass of water in his hand to boil, and explains that they won't need a device to cause the explosion.
Just then, federal agents, presumably following information Matt was able to obtain from the man caught in Los Angeles, break in and shoot most of the terrorists, and the Engineer is arrested.
Powers
The Engineer has the ability to create radiation. He uses this power to potentially aid a terrorist plot to derail a train.
Notes
- Tim Kring has explained in interviews that the terrorist plot was removed from the story because it was considered potentially too controversial.
- The Engineer appeared in several promotional teasers for the show, and Isaac's painting of him boiling water was left in.
- In Seven Minutes to Midnight, a different character, Theodore Sprague, causes a glass of water to boil. It appears that several elements of the Engineer's story, most notably his powers and his backstory regarding his wife dying of cancer linked to his own radiation powers, have been reused for this character.
