A Watcher, he was a by the book man. He tried never to let his subjects involve his emotions. He was the long time Watcher of the immortal Darius and was reassigned to May-Ling Shen after Darius' death. In 1968, he introduced a badly wounded soldier, Joe Dawson, to the Watchers when they were both in Vietnam, after Joe's life was saved by an Immortal. He explained the Immortals and the role of their Watchers, giving Joe an option to the suicide he was considering, and a new purpose in his life.
