Dossier
Taiwo is Afolabi's adopted brother and Kehinde's twin. His Mark-III Stabiliser Rig reads bioelectrical power impulses, smooths dangerous output, bleeds excess into capacitors and blurs what scanners can see. It does not replace bloodline power or create a Frame. His partnership with Ògún and his work with the Sentinel make consent part of the engineering.

Care, expressed through making
Taiwo can turn a worried exchange into an argument about whose voice sounds better over a bead-com. His technical seriousness lives alongside a very particular sense of humour. Both belong to Afolabi's adopted brother, Kehinde's twin.
In the research annex, he reads the interference running through Afolabi and builds around a problem that cannot safely be wished away. Instruments reveal danger, but a reading is only useful if someone accepts what it means and decides what to do next.
Making is personal for him. His work sits at the meeting point of skill, sacred power and responsibility to other people. Watch the difference between a device that works and a promise that can actually be kept.
How much can you build to protect someone, and where does protection stop being yours to control?
