Bioshock: The Deleted Diaries
JoshCroweVO for Andrew Ryan
Andrew Ryan is a complex man whose most defining trait is his egomania and objectivist ideals, which he spreads to all of Rapture. He is self-assured to the point of arrogance, which also makes him an inspirational figure to others. A workaholic with a strong desire to be precise and controlling of everything and everyone around him, Ryan is driven to win and looks down on those who don't share his philosophy and work ethic. When Rapture's society began to collapse under its own weight due to the growing problems of civil discomfort, smuggling and contraband, splicing, and eventually all-out war, Ryan slowly changed from an honorable, earnest leader into an oppressive tyrant. As the conflict with Atlas escalated, Ryan's methods to keep control over the populace became more extreme and ruthless, culminating in using mind-controlling pheromones through Rapture's air system to subjugate the city's spliced inhabitants to his will.

(Stating) “I am Andrew Ryan, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?"
(Serious) "It has been brought to my attention that some citizens have discovered ways to... "hack" the vending machines. I should not need to remind each and every citizen of Rapture that free enterprise is the foundation upon which our society has been established. Parasites will be punished."
(Concerned) "I am told that the people grow tense and isolated in the absence of the sun. Now… they clamor for a psychiatrist. Do they miss the state censor, I wonder? Wartime seizure of private assets? Or the Cheka police, vanishing them in the night? Regardless, this Lamb woman is said to be the foremost practitioner in her "field." Fine. If she can quiet the rattling of the great chain's weakest links… I will leave her to it."
