John Havelock

Havelock.

John Havelock, often referred to as Judge Havelock or simply Havelock, is a mathematician alleged time-traveler, usually found in the town of Periphery between 1801 and 1911.

His time-traveling ability, and apparent immortality, result from his addiction to Extract of Radium.

He is sometimes referred to as "The man who doesn't get killed," because of his habit of playing Russian Roulette for money.
