Dr. Jacob Whorton

Name: Dr. Jacob Whorton
Sex: Male
Age: 55
Hair: Salt and Pepper grey
Eyes: Hazel
Skin: Caucasian

City of Origin: Washington D.C. via London, England

Occupation: Head of Operations, Task Force One - Dr. Whorton is in charge of assembling and maintaining that team, submitting reports to the government and keeping track of damages, costs, etc.

Appearance: A not unattractive, but aging Englishman. His accent is crisp and proper as is his attire at nearly all times of the day or night. In fact, it is some cause of discussion as to how, exactly, the Dr. manages to appear neat and tidy, even when roused in the middle of the night by some crisis or other.

Description: Whorton spent most of his adult years serving in MI6 at the height of the Cold War and in the halcyon years of perestroika afterward. Eventually, he cross-trained with the CIA, first as a loner agent, then, ultimately becoming a U.S. Citizen and transitioning into a roll with the U.S. Government. He earned his Doctorate in Political Science between dual courses of study at both Cambridge and Yale - and graduating from both.

He is fastidious and dedicated, able to eek out success where others might fail. He's a skilled field operative as well - though it has been years since he's been in the field. But his success does not come without sacrificing some degree of pleasantness. He is gruff, but effective, and while he typically brooks no foolishness, he does appreciate the need for Rest & Recreation and has a taste for fine tea, quality literature and exquisite dining.

Make no mistake, though, Whorton is effective and he has been sent to head up Task Force One because the government needs them to succeed.

Character Model: Peter Capaldi
