- "Connor Temple. He looks like a half-wit, but he has a very good brain."
- ―Nick Cutter[src]
Connor Temple is one of Nick Cutter’s paleontology students at the Central Metropolitan University. He is geeky by nature – he spent his student days compiling a database of prehistoric creatures and writes software programmes to relax. His favourite food is pizza. After watching Scooby Doo as a kid he decided he wanted to join a crime busting gang. Years later his dream came true – sort of.
[edit] Series 1
He approached his professor at the beginning of series one with an article about a mysterious sighting of a creature in the Forest of Dean. Despite initial cynicism, he tagged along with the investigation and has been part of Cutter’s team ever since. He loves conspiracy theories and harbours an ambition to be abducted by aliens. In Connor’s world UFOs are real; it’s just that governments have hidden the evidence. His unrequited affection for Abby is hampered by her obvious interest in Stephen.
[edit] Series 2
He believes Cutter about Claudia Brown when he returns through the Anomaly and is the only one who does. He isn't allowed by the rest of the team to use a gun and on occasions when he does use one it nearly always goes wrong. (He shot Abby in the leg (Episode 2.1).

(Episode 2.4) Connor dumped Caroline by Text to show Abby his feelings for her. When Caroline gets Connor's text she doesn't take it too well and kidnaps Rex. (Episode 2.5)
Connor has supreme computer abilities and managed to hack into the records of Oliver Leek, he also accidently admitted to Abby he had been looking at her personal file. This happened as she asked him what her middle name was, and idiotically he said, straight away, Sarah. He was right of-course but made a complete clown of himself by doing so. He was scared when a bomb was found in the ARC and he and Cutter had to deactivate it. It was a close shave, as he was under the white van counting the timer down out loud for Cutter, while Cutter was trying to remove the battery out of the front bonet. (Episode 2.6)
