An academic at Solace University chasing superhuman phenomena on a grant COMPASS keeps trying to attach strings to. Sharp, curious, underfunded, and increasingly aware that COMPASS — or the Tinkerer — would pay handsomely for what the grant committee won't fund. Considers the team a remarkable case study. The team should mind what they let this one publish.

Appearance: Rumpled blazer over a faded conference t-shirt, hair that hasn't seen a comb since the last all-nighter, a satchel bulging with printouts and a half-charged tablet. Leans in too close when something gets interesting.
