Sir Arthur Vandelem was a scientist who living during the late [[Ages#The Sixth Age\|Sixth Age]], who specialized in high-energy particle physics. His experiments led to the creation of the [[Vandelem Bomb]], which killed hundreds of millions of civilians and caused incalculable damage. [[Vandelem Radiation]], a unique side effect of the bomb, was chiefly to blame.

			==Early Life==
			Vandelem was born into a [[GS Town]], in [[A.Y.]] 6946. The [[Kamian Succession Wars]] had been raging for centuries by that time, so like many youths, he attended a Junior Academy. While recognized as bright and very talented, Vandelem lacked the physical acumen for military service, and did not enlist in the [[Crimson Blade]]. However, he was admitted to one of the universities operated by the Foundation, where he studied nuclear physics and particle physics.

			A gifted student, Vandelem was granted access to an educational extension program and eventually earned a doctorate in high-energy particle physics. He was subsequently hired by the Foundation and worked at the [[Giga Collider]] facility for several years. Vandelem was able to institute changes at the facility that led to a marked increase in productivity, which led to him being provided with his own labratory, including a supercollider of his own design that was able to produce much higher-energy collissions than most research-colliders available at the time.

			==Weapon Designer==
			It being the height of the Kamian Succession Wars, Vandelem was of course tasked with developing weapons. Being an expert in exceptionally high-energy reactions, he had actually conceived the bomb that would make him infamous while still in school, and was keen to get a prototype out. The weapon, which he named The Vandelem Bomb, was first tested in A.Y. 6491.

			The Mark I test was successful in it's primary goal, but considered "horrific" in it's application. The [[Blind Consul]] ruled that they would not be using Vandelem's completed design, but allowed him to continue working on a Mark II. Speculation is that the weapon would be held in reserve or used for attacks on Kamian Homeworlds without the knowledge of the general population.

			==Mark II Fiasco==
			Vandelem's basic concept was sound, but his own execution involved scaling the device as much as conceivably possible. This required the use of higher and higher-energy reactions, and ultimately the accident which would make Vandelem infamous. The Mk 1 had a very small effective radius, equivalent to a conventional nuclear device. The Mk 2 was designed to be variable; the effect instead expanded exponentially.
