He is helping all those in need from the Scotland Yard to old friends from the past, or even to complete strangers. He never was into archeologist until his best friend Randall Ascot got him into it. He went to college with Clark and Brenda and dated a woman named Claire whom he plans to asks in marriage, but she passes in a freak accident.
