Newton Somers

Newton Somers is the son of Season 7's legend, Horizon, that was seen in the Apex Legends Short "Promise" on YouTube.

History
Before Horizon left on her mission to acquire branthium from the edge of a black hole, she promised her prepubescent son Newton that she would return. However, Horizon was betrayed by her colleague and was left stranded in the black hole's orbit. Horizon eventually escaped, but due to time dilation, 87 years had passed before she returned; Newton had already grown up, had a family of his own, and died.

Newton's name is shown on Pathfinder's statue's plaque in "The Truth". He was part of the team that built Pathfinder and developed a solution to Outland's energy crisis. When Ashleigh Reid turns on the team, Newton is present when Pathfinder and the scientists self-destruct the lab in order to prevent her getting her hands on the Branthium-- killing themselves in the process. Ashleigh was the assistant that left Horizon in the black hole's orbit.
