Topher Evans

Christopher ("Topher") Evans, who goes by the code name of CANNONBALL, works for WOE.BEGONE. He is tall, bearded, and bald.

Topher initially presented himself to Mike Walters as a fellow player, but in truth organized aspects of WOE.BEGONE behind the scenes. In particular, he handled the broader lore around the game, such as the blog of fictional character Aliza Schultz, and online recruitment tactics. After Ryan lost access to WOE.BEGONE, he was killed under unknown circumstances.

Under the direction of the Flinchites, Mike posed as Topher's brother Donny in order to resurrect Topher through playing WOE.BEGONE. Upon being resurrected, Topher suspected Mike of being responsible for Ryan's disappearance and took him captive. In order to prolong his own life, Topher assisted Mike with completing the second challenge. Topher then tried to escape Mike's efforts to complete the fourth challenge, but he was eventually tracked down and killed in Latvia, where his body was dumped in the Daugava River.

Topher was later shown to be alive and again working with Ryan, having abducted Marissa. He and Ryan were first captured by Base to rescue Marissa and for further questioning; they were then both taken away by the Flinchites. Topher and Ryan have since been duplicated and taken captive for Hunter's Base.

According to Mike, Topher has a copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 on his PC.
