History
Ephraim Ladd was born in Columbus, OH to Egyptian-American parents. His father was a doctor and his mother was a schoolteacher, teaching physical science. His mother's work was instrumental in Ladd's interest in astronomy. As a child, Ladd kept his eyes on the stars and his passion for space exploration did not wane in adulthood. He pursued Aerospace Engineering in college. Several years later, Ladd was recruited for a new initiative in the NASWA—the Space Emergency Ambulance Service, or SEAS.
On Day XXX, XXXX, Ladd’s vessel received a distress call from a nearby planet. The crew landed and found several travelers who claimed to be stranded after a ship malfunction. Ladd’s crew invited the survivors on board. The survivors quickly revealed themselves to be pirates and took control of the ship. The pirates ejected most of Ladd’s crew, leaving Ladd and a nurse on board. The two hostages eventually escaped through a spare shuttle. However, it was meant for one.
Ephraim Ladd woke up in unfamiliar territory, surrounded by other people who called themselves the Ohio Worms. They informed him that a wormhole had spit him out into a crater that neighbored their station. Ladd was recruited again—this time to become a pitcher in a splort called, Blaseball 2, and won four championships with the team.
The fate of the nurse is currently unknown.
Back on Earth
Ladd, along with the Worms, escaped the Breach during Season β13 of the IBL. The team found themselves in the Wapakoneta Air, Space, and Worm Museum and Ballpark, or WASWMB, which was not far from what once was Ladd’s hometown. However, Mr. and Mrs. Ladd have yet to attend a game.
Their fates are currently unknown.
Ladd currently lives in the museum as the lease for his previous home had expired after he left the planet. He is close with Kaz Fiasco, with Fiasco often calling him, "Dad". When asked for clarification on the parentage of Fiasco, both players had neglected to comment. The Worms players consider Ladd the heart of the team. Ladd often comforts his teammates after tough games, one being the Season 13, Day 31 game for example, when Ladd had walked the Dale ten times and the Worms were shutout 0-14.
He is not very good at pitching. Knowing this, Ladd had decided to leave the roster for the betterment of the team during the Season β15 election. He now spend his days tending to Cantus Hojo's garden, catching up with an old childhood friend, and being the test audience for Loubert Ji-Eun's sloundclloud mixes.

Ephraim Ladd/IF-60.881
Ephraim Ladd is an angelic astronaut, usually seen clad in his spacesuit with a cracked helmet. Ladd's wings protrude from his suit, and a light shines around the helmet (although his features remain obscured behind the cracked glass).
Ephraim Ladd has aspects of the "Team Dad," a friendly caretaker and guardian of other Worms. Eph has a knack for knowing just the right thing to say and do. Some swear that peering closely into his visor will seem to reveal the face of whoever would be most calming to that person in this time. Otherwise, Ladd tends to be a quiet but friendly presence around the Wormhole.
Ephraim has no memory of where he came from originally - all he can recall is drifting away from a space mission, lost and disoriented. When he recovered his senses, he became away of his new angelic personage, which allowed a speedy return home.
On the rare occasion that Ladd removes his helmet, he is observed to be a full biblical-style angel, with many, many eyes. However, he remains a reassuring presence, despite his unusual appearance.Ephraim Ladd/IF-85.193
Item #: TWH-REDACTED
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: TWH-REDACTED is to be kept within the confines of the Wapakoneta Air, Space, and REDACTED Museum and REDACTED at all times under constant surveillance. TWH staff shall rotate out as surveillance staff regularly, with a maximum of no longer than three consecutive months of exposure. TWH staff chosen for these positions must be tested for peanut allergies before and after each shift.
Every week, the entity must participate in a game of REDACTED. TWH staff are to ensure the entity arrives at the designated REDACTED field at precisely the correct time. Failure to do so will result in [DATA EXPUNGED].
Description: TWH-REDACTED is a humanoid entity of unknown origin whose appearance changes based on whoever is observing it. Notable appearances include:
- A long lost childhood friend of the observer.
- [REDACTED], a deceased REDACTED player for the Ohio REDACTED
- The mother of the observer
- A REDACTED
TWH-REDACTED regularly wears a fully functional spacesuit originating from [DATA EXPUNGED]. While wearing the helmet, the entity's appearance changing properties do not appear to take effect.

When asked about its history and past, the entity appears to not be able to recall anything prior to Incident-REDACTED-REDACTED.
