Professor James Cole as played by Scott

Personal Description

Prof. James Cole, known as Jimmie to those close to him, is a short, dedicated, and intelligent, albeit dull in nature and unassuming in appearance. Always seen wearing a hat, his ears are awkward in appearance and he has an unusual gait when he walks. He is a Professor of Anthropology and is searching for answers to human society and culture by traversing the globe to observe human nature at work.

Ideology

He believes that all legends, big or small, found around the world in various forms all have a rational and anthropological root explanation through verifiable science instead of the myths they commonly support.

Significant People

His mentor was Professor George Llegna, who left Prof. Cole his research to continue, including his personal journals. However, it has been difficult extending Prof. Llegna's research due to the cryptic nature in which he kept his notes.

Meaningful Locations

Prof. Cole is a facility member at Brown University in Rhode Island, and a guest lecturer at the University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, Scotland. Both universities offer him the ability to travel around the world in pursuit of anthropological research and his attempt to unlocking the mysterious that still exist in human culture. 

Treasured Possessions

His mentor's journal and research notes, which he is quite protective of and would go to any length to keep safe.
