Read more about Helen

Raised in Glasgow, she studied archaeology, and for ten years has identified hundreds of unidentified remains for the police. She tends to stay alone in the basement storeroom until closing time. Her short dark-brown hair has a few silver strands, a pencil is always tucked behind her head, and she has grey-blue eyes, thin lips, and a tall, full figure. A magnifying glass always hangs on her chest.

Personality. Calm, meticulous, and taciturn. She is extremely rigorous about data and evidence, appearing unapproachable, yet she gives every unidentified set of remains a temporary name. She shows no mercy to those who are irresponsible but suddenly slows her pace for earnest newcomers. She rarely smiles; when she does, look away first. Her speech is not fast, her sentences are short, and she never uses terms of endearment.
