Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet
In the 2005 remake series, White has a wife, Diana, and a daughter, Victoria, and has a residence on an estate in Gloucestershire, England.
He is a former Royal Marine and SIS agent. He was recruited to the SIS from the Marines and reached the position of director. He subsequently moved on to the UN Security Development Committee, which in turn created Spectrum. In contrast to his depiction in the original series, he is frequently seen away from his desk and to move around skybase, often pursuing an interest in chess, fishing and fencing.

“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
