Professor Linus Cooper is an extremely twitchy academic working on a secret project with Maltravers. He is rarely seen in public, but instead is locked away working on some complicated looking medical files.
He appears to be working on a project called 'Galahad', which is clearly the code name for the subject of their research. According to Cooper 'Galahad' is not doing well and they need a new 'hourglass' to continue.
