The Curator of the British Museum's Egyptian collection and research programme.  Approaching retirement and in need to settle his family's long standing stand-off with the Carter family and in particular the loss of some of the 1924 Egyptian expedition artefacts.

A stern and at times abrupt man.  Tall in stature and assertive command of the English language.  

Akin to the Royanl Navy Commander of the Immitation Game.

Grand daughter of Professor Alistair Carter, who in turn is the son of Professor Stephen Carter.  Harriett is a egyptologist and historian. In her late 20's.  Determined and dogmatic, with a mind to uncover the truth about her family's legacy, history and to understand what split the family all those years ago.
