Name: Professer Nick Cutter
Status: Deceased
Appearances: Series 1 - 3
Profile: 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.
Other Information: His mission was to make sense of the anomalies which are allowing creatures from the past, and the Future, to roam the modern world. His wife, Helen Cutter, went missing and was presumed dead for eight years. He discovered that Helen was actually traveling through the anomalies and her return leads to a lot of questions unanswered, including the disapearance of Claudia Brown which, it seems, shes know something about. During dramatic scenes in episode 3.3 in which Helen and her cleaner clones destroy the ARC, Helen shoots Cutter in the chest claiming that she is saving humanity. Cutter manages to survive long enough to give the artifact to connor, before dying at his side.
