Dr. Lionel Squib is one of the head partners of Terrel and Squib Pharmeceuticals. He plays a major role in Orpheus as the creator of one of their greatest problems, the street drug pigment. Squib was originally from Pontiac, Illinois. He attended Harvard and came away with a doctorate in biochemistry, which he used to create new drugs. He eventually held patents on over 100 new drugs, mostly used to treat schizophrenia. With this great success, he felt confident enough to quit when he met John Terrel, a millionaire who survived the dotcom bust. * Orpheus: Shades of Gray, p. 88 -89
