Arch Quinton

Arch Quinton was a Professor from Scotland working at the Los Angeles University's Anthropology Department with a private office, he was also an avid smoker, lived in an apartment, owned a 1978-edition Granada car. During his career, he travelled the world, becoming an expert in the field of anthropology, and introducing Robert Maxwell to the science, becoming his protégé, and eventually his best friend. Robert even made Arch his second daughter, Polly's, godfather. When the First Invasion began, Arch privately investigated the Visitor's true nature using scarcely found evidence, keeping it all together in a folder marked "John" (after the Visitors Supreme Commander). After carefully examining several photos of John, he concluded several disturbing discrepancies that Robert might have found "interesting", but feared he'd call it "crazy", but called him nonetheless, but he wasn't in. What Arch found was that the Visitor's skull was misshapen and the bone was too thick in several areas; mainly the head. Planning to have the photos further examined with more powerful equipment the next morning, Arch left the folder in his "Current Files" tray and left out the back of the building to the campus parking area. After entering his car, he looked back in preparation to reverse out and saw a Visitor trooper sitting in the back, inches away from his face. The next day, Robert looked for Arch, having learned from his landlady that she hadn't seen him come back to his apartment. Robert discovered Arch's officer ransacked and "Current Files" tray empty, and then found Arch's car abandoned in the campus parking area, with the keys still in the ignition and laser burns inside the car. Arch was last seen in a stasis pod aboard the L.A. Mothership. Arch was undoubtedly eaten by the Visitors.
