Derek Lawrence

Derek Dean Lawrence is the second son and middle child of Senator Henry and Dr. Samantha Lawrence and the brother of Damian and Desi Lawrence. He is one of the three founders of Lawrence-Dodson Enterprises, which launched in 2221 and has since become known as America's leader in near-human androids. Derek is one of two surviving co-presidents of LDE since the murder of his brother Damian.

When he saw security footage incriminating Lila, the first android he and LDE's other founders had created, he was devastated, refusing to accept that Lila could have killed his brother. He searched Manhattan for her, and when he located her and realized her memory had been wiped, he hid her in his apartment to protect her as he searched for the truth. Derek soon realized he was in love with Lila and learned that his business partner Eddie Dodson had framed her for Damian's murder.
