'''Sorin Sprocket''' is the managing director and future president of [[Sprocket Aviation]], as well as the inventor behind many of the company's business successes. Often seen carrying a notebook which he uses to write down ideas for his inventions, Sorin was a witness in the [[Turnabout Time Traveler|murder]] of his servant [[Dumas Gloomsbury]], a crime that Sorin's wife [[Ellen Wyatt]] was accused of.

A year prior, Sorin was involved in a car accident where he was the driver, badly injuring himself and his sister, [[Selena Sprocket]]. Another passenger, a servant named [[Dumas Gloomsbury]], survived the incident with minor injuries. Both siblings were taken to the family's private hospital, where surgeon [[Pierce Nichody]] was to operate on them. However, Selena asked Nichody to save Sorin's life, despite her injuries being more severe. Nichody complied, but Selena unfortunately passed away as a result of her injuries.
He and his sister, [[Selena Sprocket]] were in a car accident caused by him, but the brunt of the blame was placed on their servant, [[Dumas Gloomsbury]]. They were both injured severely, and Selena asked [[Pierce Nichody]] to save Sorin's life, even if it was at the cost of hers. Sorin survived, but not without problems. Afterwards, he was diagnosed with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia anterograde amnesia], and was not able to create new memories. To counter this, he carried around a notebook with him everywhere he went, writing notes to remember.

As a result, Sorin began writing meticulous details of his life in his notebook, which had been previously used for writing ideas for invention. He began to develop an obsession with time travel and began research into the subject; in a sense, he considered himself a time traveler as his amnesia forced him to relive the horrific memories of the accident each day.

Sorin was left distraught at his loss of memory and the possibility he had committed murder, but Wright went on to prove Nichody's machinations and guilt, absolving Sorin and Wyatt of the murder.

Sorin Sprocket
......Ellen. [...] ...Come home soon. ......I'm...lost without you.

Sorin Sprocket is the managing director and future president of Sprocket Aviation, as well as the inventor behind many of the company's business successes. Often seen carrying a notebook which he uses to write down ideas for his inventions, Sorin was a witness in the murder of his servant Dumas Gloomsbury, a crime that Sorin's wife Ellen Wyatt was accused of.

Car accident[]

A year prior, Sorin was involved in a car accident where he was the driver, badly injuring himself and his sister, Selena Sprocket. Another passenger, a servant named Dumas Gloomsbury, survived the incident with minor injuries. Both siblings were taken to the family's private hospital, where surgeon Pierce Nichody was to operate on them. However, Selena asked Nichody to save Sorin's life, despite her injuries being more severe. Nichody complied, but Selena unfortunately passed away as a result of her injuries.

Sorin survived, but developed anterograde amnesia from the trauma of the accident and his sister's death, and was not able to create new memories after the day of the accident; these would be lost from the moment he woke up the following day. As a result, Sorin began writing meticulous details of his life in his notebook, which had been previously used for writing ideas for invention. He began to develop an obsession with time travel and began research into the subject; in a sense, he considered himself a time traveler as his amnesia forced him to relive the horrific memories of the accident each day.

Unbeknownst to him, both Gloomsbury and Nichody nursed a grudge towards him. Gloomsbury had been made a scapegoat for the accident, in order to protect Sorin as the new heir to the Sprocket family business. Nichody, on the other hand, was also Selena's fiance, and hated Sorin for inheriting everything that Selena was originally privy to; to get closer to Sorin and exact revenge, Nichody became Sorin's butler under the pretext of helping him manage the family business.
