History

1991

Ethan was the lead of the expedition to the Arctic Circle that was privately funded by the Janus Project and he hired about ten individuals to determine what had become of a prior scientific research team. While there, his team discovered that the team had been mysteriously slaughtered and also encountered a white monolith that caused temporary insanity to run rampant amongst him and his colleagues. Paytrol determined that destroying the monolith was the only solution and managed to save a few souls before reporting back to the Rossetti Board of Directors about his findings.

2011

Sometime prior to February of 2011, the Professor voluntarily checked himself in to a mental health institute. While there, he cooperated with a member of the Janus Project to make contact with Jacki Taggart to arrange her affairs in the Peru excavation.

2017

By this time, Ethan was back to teaching at the University and tried to convince the Rossetti Board that an organism his team had discovered near to the Arctic Circle was from another dimension, resulting in him being discharged from the facility and considered a laughing stock.

June 2018

Professor Paytrol was contacted by a former student of his, Annie Ward; to compare samples of an organism that was infecting prisoners at the nearby Kingsport Correctional Center. Paytrol was able to confirm that while the organism was similar, the one at the prison had evolved into a much smarter lifeform, and was attempting to become something of a hivemind. He tried to convince Stephen Leng not to return to the prison.
