Appearance and Personality: At 6'4" and 155 lbs, Winston Brody is a thin, lanky man. While not physically impressive, he does possess a strong constitution from facing the elements on the numerous digs he has been on. He is clean shaven with dark hair and tends to dress rather well when not in the field. He is a friendly man, despite his upper class upbringing, and has a deep curiousity for his field of study. While respectful of local folklore when in the field, Winston has not encountered any unusual phenomena that could not be explained through rational thought and deduction. However, he has recently chosen to take training in the use and handling of a firearm for protection against animals and potentially unsavoury characters that he may meet in the back waters of rural North America. While not particularly into sports as a youth, Winston enjoys spectating at gaming events, most notably baseball.

Background: Born in New York City to an upper class family, Winston had a particularly easy childhood. His family's wealth and status allowed him to attend Columbia University, though he did not possess the most remarkable grades in high school. It was at university where he gained interest in Anthropology, specifically in the field of Ethnology. His main area of expertise has been the study of ancient Native American tribes and since convocating,he has continued this study while participating in digs in the American Midwest and in the south. He was invited to be a sessional lecturer at Columbia, which he accepted, and hopes to use this opportunity to become a fully tenured professor.

Relationship with Jackson Elias: Winston attended one of Jackson's lectures and, impressed with the subject matter, struck up a professional relationship with the man. They have since corresponded numerous times, especially when Winston's study of ancient Native American tribes overlaps with the knowledge that Jackson possesses of cult groups world-wide. As well, Winston owns all of Jackson's books. It is also through Jackson that Winston met Jonah Kensington. Winston is working on a project concerning his own research that he hopes to get published and possibly fast-track his career goals.
