Once a legendary colonial explorer and adventurer, Quatermain has fled the public eye and fallen
to opium addiction -- perhaps as a way of quelling his cravings for the mystical drug taduki. Miss Murray digs him up in Cairo
and presses him into the service of his country once more. At first he is reluctant; but it soon becomes apparent that some
spark of the old heroic Quatermain yet remains in him. When he makes the effort, he can be pretty capable and resourceful;
and he's especially suited to action-hero tasks like barging in and waving large guns about. He and Miss Murray
bicker constantly, and he never misses an opportunity to gripe about her with their colleagues -- giving one the impression
he's rather infatuated with her.
