He's tough, but ground down by the fight, and manages to shoulder his way through the PTSD...actually, it's more of a CTSD - Continuing Traumatic Stress Disorder.JonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705424889025942210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088837105316583907.post-34664214560225202092017-03-04T05:13:38.547-08:002017-03-04T05:13:38.547-08:00Thank you.

(Tom White does show up again, too, in book four.) <br /><br />The idea of "campers" I took from William Burroughs, actually--I'm not familiar with Delta Green. <br /><br />The name "Cobb Russwin" is a locksmithing in-joke. There is a manufacturer of lock hardware called Corwin-Russwin. It just always struck me as a particularly interesting sounding name. <br /><br />I like the idea of having at least one continuing character who is purely human, with no weird abilities, to provide a balancing influence on the other characters. I based his personality on an amalgam of various people I have known with military and law enforcement backgrounds. <br /><br />I have a brief and unhelpful interview with him here: https://mishaburnett.wordpress.com/2013/03/10/character-interview-cobb-russwin/ Misha Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050644222308563279noreply@blogger.com
