In the retail release, Dr. Earnhardt's backstory was very briefly acknowledged within his character entry in the Handbook, in which he sailed to the Rook Islands after his two-year old daughter died falling out of a window in their London flat. An unused cutscene left in the game files shows that Dr. Earnhardt would have personally revealed his backstory shortly after being introduced to Liza by Jason, following her rescue. Dr. Earnhardt specifies that installation work was being done, while in the retail release, no context is provided for how the tragedy occurred.
