Batman Audio Drama Series: World's Greatest Detective - Season 1, Story 4 - "Temporal Beloved"
GD Kalmbach for Temple Fugate
Character Description
A brilliant, devoted scientist, Professor Temple Fugate is a driven, single-minded individual with little time for fools. The years since his sister’s untimely death have introduced a sense of paranoia into the mix which can make him a bit difficult to get along with. An understated sense of humor is also present, alongside a love of classic British science fiction and a disdain for Egyptology.
Prof. Fugate has been on a downward spiral ever since the death of his sister, Letitia Fiennes. Unduly blaming himself for the accident, he threw himself into researching time travel, determined to alter the timeline and bring his beloved sister back. The scientific community laughed him out, which has only strengthened his resolve.
After many years of financial ruin and no success, Prof. Fugate has now begun receiving assistance from a shadowy group providing funds and fantastic resources. While he recognizes this is likely a deal with the proverbial devil, Prof. Fugate is desperate to make his dream a reality. He’s so focused that he may not see betrayal coming until it’s too late….
The Voice
High to medium, late 20’s to mid-30’s. American accent.
[bitter laugh] What results? My work has yielded nothing but failures. The others were right. I’m living in a fantasy.
Yes, that Will Magnus. Some say you can find his picture in the dictionary right under “omnidisciplinary.” His work in the field of chemistry is very well-regarded, if somewhat dangerous in practice. [chuckle] How did that old series start? “Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life. Medium atomic weights are available.”
[just been told the voice of his sister is him breaking down, not her ghost; he is at a near-total breakdown here] Don’t you think I know that!? But I can’t! Stop! Hearing! Her! Until I make this right, my life is meaningless. [quiet, bitterly resigned] I am but a pawn of my own guilt and self-loathing.
