Second Officer
detached

efficient
condescending
loyal to hierarchy
Second Officer enforces the Eternals' will aboard the racing yacht with detached efficiency, acting as both a symbolic authority figure and practical enforcer of the vessel's hidden hierarchy. Clad in the crew’s uniform, he moves through the companionways as an extension of the ship’s command structure, his authority absolute but never flaunted. His voice carries the quiet confidence of a man who answers to no one on this vessel—not even its immortals. When he advises Turlough to seek Jackson below decks, his words sound like guidance but function as direction. He treats outsiders with polite disdain, framing obstruction as order and coercion as courtesy. Deflection is his default tactic; even when detaining Tegan, he couches arrest in reassurances of safety. When required, he also enforces compliance through physical measures, manhandling personnel to suppress dissent.
