‘’The Judas Strain’’
He is introduced when he had summonsed Vigor Verona for an important issue at the Tower of Wind. He shows Vigor into a closet where it led to a renovation project. Ultraviolet light had revealed the symbol of the Dragon Court on the floor. He also found Angelic script on the wall, only found during his analysis of he room of the symbol. There, he shows Vigor, where they realize it was Angelic script. Chapter 2

He later traveled to the Hagia Sophia long with Vigor to explore possible angelic script. He managed to asked the curator and its staff about possible information regarding the angelic script but they found nothing and it could be under the plaster used to paint over Christian stuff when the Ottomans took over. After Gray fell from a scaffolding, he brought everyone there to the curator's office to patch up. They looked at stuff and determined that they need a third key. They realize it was in Hormuz because Kokejin was there.

As they were about to leave, he called a number for Seichan and told her to meet. Serichan realized he was the mole within the Vatican as she had an image in her Swiss bank account of this man, and n ow as able to put a name to the face. Right after he said the words, he died by a bullet fired by Seichan. It was revealed he had been secretly working for the Guild. Seichan walks up to the group and tells them that he was in fact a Guild mole. He had long standing ties to the Guild and was interested in using Vigor and the group, while acting as an archeologist allied with the Vatican, to further Guild interests.

Personal Traits
