A chemist and an archaeologist, Herr Professor Thorolfsson comes from a well to do German family. He's very proper, and very good at his science. He has been known to disturb sites in order to extract immediate information, as opposed to leaving material in situ until it is all properly recorded. This, however, is a fault of many of his generation. He has an ego, and appreciates having it stroked. Thus, it is possible he may be led astray on his search for the truth of the ancient Egyptian civilizations. He does not trust the fairer sex. He would like to make a name for himself. Age: about 40. Married once, technically he still is, but he has not seen his wife in over 15 years. There's probably a story here.

His first name is Ludwig.
