Before Arkham's business

Born in Sacramento, trained at Berkeley, hired by Miskatonic to keep its orchids alive. Answers the same three questions about where he's from every week.

Meticulous, patient, quietly sardonic. Kinder to plants than to fools, and not unkind to fools.

Believes

Living things follow rules. If something breaks the rules, it isn't living — or the rules are wrong.

From the journal

His parents in Sacramento. Ate well, slept badly, walked a great deal. Better, on the whole. Variations in leaf morphology always yield to careful dissection.

Thursday, 23 September 1926

Leaving Arkham — to visit his parents in Sacramento. Notes left for my relief. Every organism follows rules. We need only learn them.
