Warren Lewis Knowles is a Flatlander man.[1]
He describes himself as being small and very hairy with a full beard "all over".[1]
In 2099[2] he is arrested for repeated traffic offenses. While awaiting trial in jail he despairs as he is all but assured he will be convicted and sent to the organ banks. While in jail he meets an organlegging doctor and one of his minions. The doctor tells him he had modified his thighbone to hold a bomb to prevent his organs from being harvested in case he was caught. After the bomb detonates Warren escapes through the resulting hole in the wall, only to end up in the hospital next door to the courthouse. Devising a plan to try and pass as a nudist and escape to freedom he searches for a razor but is caught by an intern. After knocking the intern unconscious he finds an elevator, but ends up in the wrong floor after a technicians calls the elevator before it reaches ground level. He ends up trapped in the organ keeping level and loses hope of escaping after the alarms rings and stunners are activated. In an act of retribution at society, he smashes the transplant containers destroying at least one third of the organic material.[1]
He is eventually re-apprehended and taken to trial for his original offenses as the state is completely confident in his conviction even without adding his destructing of transplant material. He feels satisfied at having done something he considers to be actually worthy of the death penalty.[1]
