Introduction	Heavily built and massive, there is a suggestion of uncouth physical inertia in his figure, but above this unwieldy frame there is perched a head so masterful in its brow, so alert in its steel-gray, deep-set eyes, so firm in its lips, and so subtle in its play of expression, that after the first glance one forgets the body and remembers only the dominant mind. The conclusions of every department are passed to him, and he is the central exchange, the clearinghouse, which makes out the balance. All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience. He has no ambition and no energy. He will not even go out of his way to verify his own solutions, and would rather be considered wrong than take the trouble to prove himself right. Again and again he has received a problem, and has given an explanation which has afterwards proven to be the correct one. And yet he is absolutely incapable of working out the practical points.
Interests	Reading, Writing, Guitar, Computers, Movies, Video Games, Government and stuff.

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?

When he kills me.
