Russell/Hooks

♦ College: Russell is a graduate student in Archaeology / Art History at UC: Prospect. Russell, still a college student at heart, is commonly seen with a canvas satchel slung over his shoulder and a smart phone.

♦ Music: Russell is attempting to learn to play the violin like his hero, Sherlock Holmes.

♦ Anachronist: Among his more prized possessions is an antique fountain pen that was a gift when he received his first college degree. He's also shown his eclectic side by turning an old, silver cigarette case into a business card holder. Russell isn't usually one for wearing jewelry but one of the few items that he does wear is an old bronze signet ring with the shape of an owl on its face. He enjoys sending people actual letters written on actual paper and sealed with wax. Yup - he's a nutter.

♦ Practical: In addition to his eccentric side for collecting old memorabilia, he's also very practical. Where ever he goes, at least with his satchel, he carries with him a long, black umbrella. He explains that it was a gift while he was at NYU where he was constantly being caught running from class to class in a sudden downpour.

"It's amazing what friends can be had when you're the one holding an umbrella."

♦ Supernatural: Russell has always been interested in the paranormal, the occult and the supernatural. Whether its researching alien abductions, Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, ESP, Ghosts, Demonic Possessions or witchcraft - he's always interested in discussing it with others who are also curious.
