Professor Mark Walton

Worked as a police officer for 10 years before taking his leave when he was shot and unable to mentally do the work anymore due to his fears.

Work focused, hard working, dedicated, tireless, always tired, relies on caffeine to get through the day, coffee addict, smoker, always gives his all, pushes everyone to do well, tormented by his past, angry, strict, stern, gruff, harsh, hostile, sharp, defensive, knowledgable about law and criminal behaviour, disciplined, would love to fall in love but is also terrified in case he falls for a murderer!

Working on cold case files in his free time, can get lost in trying to understand those and forget he has grading to do. Talks to himself.

Gets angry when students are lazy and don’t try. Furious when they victim blame. Furious when they joke about the victims.

Has seen many crime scenes and been at active shootings or active stabbing and those haunt his nightmares every single night. Has been shot in the past. Afraid of guns.

Very rich, lives in a large house. Has a maid, a gardener, a chef and a driver. Doesn’t realise how fortunate he has always been. If he meets someone who is very poor, he struggles to connect at first because of how different their lives have been. He has always assumed poverty was a choice to some degree but when he gets to know his students his opinion shifts and he warms to them quickly. He wants to protect everyone.
