Biography[]

Background[]

He is the senior member of the Canterbury crew. Having served abroad the freighter for many years, he came to adopt a relaxed attitude, willing to ignore regulations and take corners while at work.

He has a collection of glass cats in a cabinet next to his desk that he refers to as "collectibles" which he likes to pet when he thinks no one will see.

Throughout the series[]
