Atkins

Atkins

Atkins was first introduced after Sean was brought to the expedition camp but was cautious of the newcomer. It is later revealed that Atkins is in fact not a college professor working at the dig for college credit, accreditation, bragging rights, etc. but rather is a US government operative placed at the dig site to investigate the mysterious deaths in the area and to try and discover some of Chronos's secrets.

After the events of the film Sean tells Atkins everything that he knows about Chronos, their Zoanoids and their plans for world domination. Sean departs but tells Atkins that if he needs help in the forthcoming war against Chronos he will be around.
