John Havelock
Havelock, also known as Judge Havelock, is a mathematician, philosopher, gunslinger, lawman, and alleged immortal.
Havelock drinks Extract of Radium, usually mixed with various computer programs of his own design, such as Judge Havelock Plays Russian Roulette.
He allegedly possesses the power to settle Fate-related disputes between two other people (or other sentient entities).
These two others will make a mutual pact which will result in one of their Fates (or "dreams") coming true, and the other dream coming to nothing.
The pact requires them to make Havelock "decide" which dream "lives", and which dream "dies".
Havelock has always sworn that he does not decide or choose which dream or destiny lives.
He is sometimes referred to as "The man who doesn't get killed," because all of the many attempts on his life have miscarried and failed.
