Latimer is cursed with psychic abilities that allow him to see the future, yet hes unable to avoid the dark turn of his own life. What many consider a gift, he sees as a curse that has destroyed his ability to have normal relationships.

Latimer can hear peoples deepest thoughts and has visions of their impending future. Its a power he acquired at a young age following a brief illness. Latimer loathes his ability, as it has made it nearly impossible for him to make genuine connections. He unknowingly uncovers dark secrets that reveal the worst of humanity. Despite this foresight, Latimers desire to control his own narrative blinds him to an inevitable outcome.
