Prof. Harold Johnasson, Male Human Smart 3/Fast 2 Hero
Harold Johnasson is, in his own mind, an active archeologist, though some people in his profession refer to him with less friendly names, such as „grave robber“. Johnasson isn’t overly concerned with these people, however. He knows that he secures knowledge and artifacts that otherwise would be lost to the outside world, even if his detractors would like to let people think otherwise. That does not mean that he wants to reveal all secrets there are, though. He has his own share of secrets („No, I don’t know how this relic ended up in the hands of the people to whom it rightfully belongs, really!“). He can keep secrets, if he understands why they have to be kept.
Johnasson stands 6‘1‘‘ high and weighs 180 pounds, and is rather muscled for an academic. He is comparably pale, and complete bald, a leftover from an accident when he was young. His hair, and part of his right ear, where burned away. As a result, the 29 year old man always wears a cap to conceal the scars. Johnasson prefers to keep to himself, but he does, at times, seek danger, to prove to himself that the accident was a one-time event.

“Yes, sir? What can I do for you?”, Johnasson asked the lieutnant who suddenly stood in his office. “I have a letter for you, Mr. Johnassen. Please read it throughoutly, as I have orders to take it back with me, along with your response – your final response.”, the officer answered, handing Johnasson a cover with an “Eyes Only” stamp.
“That is interesting... what would the Air Force want from me? Let’s see... ‘unique opportunity for using your skills in aquiring of relics and knowledge of the past...’. Strange that you would be interested in someone with these skills... ‘Payment...’”. At this point, Johnasson looks up to the lieutnant, “Aren’t there a few zeroes to much in that number? OK, I see you won’t answer that. Whatever this... operation is, it seems to be very interesting. I am interested. Maybe I’ll curse this day for the rest of my live, but my answer is yes.”
After the man from the Air Force has left him alone, Johnasson silently sits in his office, looking at the ticket for the flight as if it could answer his questions. Why was the Air Force interested in him? Which other organization could stand behind this letter that would make more sense? The only thing Johnasson knew for sure was, he would have to keep this secret. And as much as he liked to spread knowledge, he would honor this unspoken requirement.
