The Air Traffic Controller is a grounded, professional figure with a dry wit and a touch of weariness. He's good at his job — calm under pressure, efficient, and sharp — but not above trading sarcastic jabs with his brother-in-law, the Shift Supervisor. Though he’s introduced during a relatively light-hearted moment, he becomes the first to encounter the alien anomaly, shifting smoothly from banter to high-stakes crisis management.

He represents the “everyman” facing the extraordinary, reacting with believable confusion, concern, and professionalism. He doesn’t understand what he’s witnessing — a strange, transponder-less object in controlled airspace — but he handles it as best he can, displaying both humour and resolve in equal measure.
