Cedric Spears

You first meet him at Mystic Pines during the quest She's A Friend Indeed. When talking to him he says to be a scientist trying to find a cure for the IHFM. To proceed with the quest, you need to bring Dr. Wolfe to him, so he can proceed with his research with her help. By checking his terminal, either during this quest or The Hornets' Nest, you can read all his messages with other characters - including Dr. Faraday.
