Nick Cutter

Professor Nick Cutter's (born ca. 1973) research is what first led the government to investigate the anomaly phenomenon. Nick led the ARC team (at the time the "Home Office Team") through many a creature incursions, and new and dangerous anomalies, hoping to find his wife, Helen, alive, after disappearing eight years before.

Evolutionary zoologist, university professor and team leader, Professor Nick Cutter is a maverick. Hard-bitten, cynical and Scottish he struggles with rules and authority – to the extent that he doesn’t even turn up for his own lectures. There are rumors he has a softer side but he’s keen to dispel those. He prefers fossils to live animals, the Stones to the Beatles and thinks there’s more chance of finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe than there is in the government.

His mission is to make sense of the anomalies which are allowing creatures from the past, and the Future, to roam the modern world. For Cutter this is not just a professional mission, he has a personal interest. His wife, Helen Cutter, went missing and was presumed dead for eight years. He discovered that Helen was actually traveling through the anomalies. Her return had left a lot of questions unanswered. After escalating events during a siege on the ARC, Cutter was shot in the chest by his wife Helen, but managed to survive long enough to pass on the Artefact to Connor, before dying.

Professor Nick Cutter is a maverick, as he is both an evolutionary zoologist and university professor. He is also a very skilled team leader of the ARC team, as he is both an expert in prehistoric creatures and also a very reckless and decisive man, being able to come up with many on the spot decisions based on his knowledge of creatures which has saved the team from many crises.
