Ted Chauviere

Ted Chauviere is a software engineer and programmer. Chauviere engineered the entirety of the Prime Series. It seems that Chauviere left Retro Studios after the release of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, as before the release of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (in which he is credited under additional thanks), Chauviere worked on non-Nintendo games including The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning, God of War: Collection, Batman: Arkham Origins - Blackgate and its Deluxe Edition (developed by Armature Studio, which was founded by former Retro Studios employees), and Titanfall.

Hacking of the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc has revealed a unused Logbook entry for a Federation Marine named T. Chauviere with GFMC Task Force Herakles. The name is likely a reference to Chauviere the engineer. In the final game, the Marine's name was changed to LCPL R. Vonda, whose body goes unidentified and has no Trooper Log.
