SPIN-OFF: The following information stems from a spin-off expansion or third party Creator DLC and is considered to be non-canon in the main Armaverse timeline.
Ian Kesson is a main character in ArmA 3's official, non-canon First Contact campaign.
Kesson is a theoretical physicist and professor at Maxwell University, Edinburgh.
Eight days prior to the arrival of "The Visitors", he was contracted by the international space agency Astra, to investigate the emergence of a "rootcap" object at the SIŁA Factory in Livonia.
It was supposedly connected to a much larger subterranean structure, and was the tip of something that had been growing for millions of years. Working alongside astrobiologist Šimon Čapek and together with the local authorities, Kesson would be tasked with discovering the origins of the alien lifeforms.
