Ghostbusters | Character

Something Missing?

Rowan North is the main antagonist of the Ghostbusters in the 2016 movie.

Rowan North was a loner who got bullied his entire life. He won The American Physical Society's J.J. Sakurai Prize on April 6, 2000 for his "work on M-Theory, its connection to eleven dimensional super gravity at low energies and the compactifying of its extradimensions." He earned a Bachelors of Science in Physics from Stanford University and, a few years later, a Doctor of Science in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology on June 6, 2007. He briefly worked as a teacher and won an award from the American Association of Physics Teachers. Rowan won the Hughes Medal on November 29, 2013 for "pioneering development of inkjet printing processes for organic semiconductor devices and dramatic improvement of their functioning and efficiency." Rowan came to believe that he was a genius who could see things that no one else did. At some point, Rowan turned to the paranormal field and fashioned it as his method of revenge. He began working at The Mercado Hotel as a maintenance man. Rowan worked out an arrangement such that he could live in the hotel's basement. His obsession with the supernatural and hatred towards humanity only grew, and Rowan aimed to bully those who mistreated him throughout his personal life. Eventually, Rowan made contact with vengeful ghosts by creating Ghost Portal Mirror technology, based on the science and theories found in Ghosts from Our Past: Both Literally and Figuratively: The Study of the Paranormal. Rowan discovered that the ghosts share the opinion that the world is garbage and needs to be cleaned up. He sought to achieve their shared goal of revenge by bringing about a series of catastrophic paranormal activities on a mass scale, which he oddly termed the "Fourth Cataclysm," after which Rowan and the ghosts would cleanse the world. Rowan determined that the Mercado sat on an intersection of Ley Lines and constructed a Barrier Compromising Master Machine in the boiler room to break down the barrier between the World of the Living and the World of the Dead. This would generate a Portal once he charged the lines with his Hyper-Ionization Devices. Rowan fashioned the devices as miniature cyclotrons and used a chromium alloy for the hulls of each device. The devices were essentially the antithesis of Erin Gilbert and Abby Yates' research; these energized spectral entities on a nuclear, paramolecular level. He also began studying the history of places located on the lines, like the Aldridge Mansion Museum and Gertrude Aldridge.

Rowan went to the Aldridge Mansion Museum and hid a Hyper-Ionization Device under a dresser. It charged the Ley Line that the building resided on, ionizing the ghost of Gertrude Aldridge. He went to the Seward Street Subway Station next.
