The Slayer
Professor Michael Morgan Slater was born and raised on modern-day Earth where he attended West Point, served his country during wartime, and eventually went on to become a professor of military history.
Slater is an unparalleled outdoorsman and daredevil, so it surprised no one when he decided to make the trek across the Himalayas.
The trip was hard and he likely would have made it across, but unmarked helicopters attacked his team. Everyone but Slater was killed in the first pass, so he ran, pursued by armed men. After a long chase he ducked into a cave complex. He was lowering himself into the caverns with his climbing gear when pursuers cut his ropes and he fell—into another world.
When he woke, he was in The Lost World with no idea how he’d gotten there. Since that time, Slater has befriended the people of Viracochasuyu, where they have taken to calling him “The Slayer,” a corruption of his last name.
Slater has yet to return to Earth and he’s not sure if he wants to. The Lost World may not be as comfortable as home, but it offers challenges and opportunities unlike anywhere else.
Slater is a confident, dignified, and incredibly healthy man in his mid-40s. He’s both a competent fighter and leader with a knowledge of tactics and history that he uses to good effect in both roles. He is a powerfully built man with green eyes, a gray Van Dyke-style mustache and beard, and prematurely gray hair that he wears collar-length. He stands six feet tall and wears ornate golden armor (which is mostly for show) gifted to him by Viracocha. He’s armed with both a sword and his trusty sidearm, a magical talisman to the primitive cultures of the Lost World.
