Professor Twig

Professor Horace W. Smallwood was known as 'Twig' by many due to his small physical appearance. Though small in stature, Professor Smallwood is a giant of intellect, possessing three different doctorate degrees in Archaeology, Ancient Languages and History.

Growing up in a family of New England academics in the early 1910's, he was too young to enlist in World War I and considered an inappropriate candidate for military service. By the time that World War II had come up, he was already a world-traveling lecturer on antiquities. Now known as 'Twig' to only his close friends, professor Smallwood was a seasoned field scholar of the Arcanum. Though not assigned to a research team himself, he was accompanied by a small group of other Arcanists who assisted him with his research objectives.

As a traveling scholar, Professor Smallwood had a near perfect cover for his work within the Arcanum, visiting any museum, library or archaeological site necessary to track down a lead.
