Derek Waterdeep

Derek Waterdeep, a human underwater explorer, was the discoverer of the Darkness Realm, a dark area of the ocean on the alien planet 4547B, the neighbour of the planet 4546B, the panet on which the Aurora wrecked. He was part of the failed rescue venture, the Borealis, which ended up crashing on the alien planet 4547B.

Early Exploration
After the crash of the rescue ship Borealis, Waterdeep proceeded to explore the planet. Together with the survivors of the wreck, he created papers and a scientiffic base on the planet. He found many monsters, and his experiments with radioactivity resulted in many mutated monsters.

The Darkness Realm & Death
Once, on an exploration venture, the explorer found a deep cave, far below the lowest explored area of any ocean. There, he found The Darkness Realm, which had many new monsters to explore. Sadly, while exploring a Lungin nest, Waterdeep was killed by a Lungin Worm.
