"Ekaterina agent Victor Wood is a highly trained chemist with an IQ off the charts. He was born in London and educated at Cambridge, where his fellow students voted him Most Likely to Blow Up the Lab. Victor is now working at the University of Tokyo, where he has, in fact, blown up his lab several times. No one knows precisely what Victor is working on, or why men in white coats drop off his laboratory supplies so late at night."
