Ted Caldera

Ted Caldera was the Senior Researcher of the Quantum Studies Division of Stardust Industries. His lifelong goal was to establish contact with other dimensions. When Anomaly CS01 appears in the wall of his facility, Caldera sends investigators to explore the world beyond it. He is able to bring his double (Anomaly TC02) through the portal and interrogate him about the destruction of his world. Caldera is killed when the spore breaks loose and infects the Stardust facility.

Caldera's paradox states that "any dimensional travel requires a form of contact with the dimension in question, but such contact cannot first be made without dimensional travel."

He appears in "The Caldera Paradox."
