Personality
Nick Cutter was a hard-bitten and cynical maverick, who struggled with rules and authority to the extent that he didn't even turn up for his own lectures, although he did have a softer side for those whom he cared for. Cutter preferred fossils to live animals, and lacked faith in or respect for the government's intelligence and ability.
Biography
Pre-Anomalies
Nick met Helen Ambrose in college and they soon had a speedy romance, before getting married. Stephen Hart was one of Nick's and Helen's students, and he later got a job as Cutter's lab technician and became good friends with Cutter.
Nick and Helen's marriage eventually ran into difficulty, and unbeknownst to Nick, Helen had an affair with Stephen. (Episode 1.6) Helen became obsessed with "evolutionary puzzles" which could not be explained by conventional science, and came up with theories which Cutter found ridiculous, leading to them growing apart even more. (Episode 1.2)
In the late 1990s, Helen disappeared while investigating a creature sighting in the Forest of Dean, and no trace of her or what had happened to her was ever found other than her rucksack, and she was presumed dead. (Episode 1.1) This left Nick distraught and grieving for years and wanting to know what happened to his wife. (Episode 1.3)
Episode 1.1
Eight years after Helen's disappearance, one day, as Cutter and Stephen arrived at the Central Metropolitan University, they were approached by one of Cutter's paleontology students, the geeky Connor Temple. Cutter quickly recognised Connor's obsession and belief in conspiracy theories and was unimpressed at Connor's dissertation that Earth's original lifeforms were sent to the planet by extraterrestrials. Connor tried to convince Cutter to investigate a creature sighting with him, but Cutter dismissed it as a hoax and refused, and became upset when Connor resorted to claiming Helen would have investigated. However, when Connor mentioned that the sighting was in the Forest of Dean where Helen had disappeared, Cutter was immediately interested and decided to head to the area with Connor and Stephen to investigate.

Added by TroopDudeThe trio talked with Dave Greene about the creature sighting and the animal attack by it on a truck, and Cutter became increasingly haunted by thoughts and memories of Helen. Later, while the team were at the Eddington Hotel, Cutter met Home Office official Claudia Brown in the hotel bar, who was also hoping that Cutter could solve the mystery and prove the creature sighting to be a hoax. Cutter, Claudia, Connor and Stephen subsequently headed into the Forest searching for signs of the animal, and Cutter initially doubed that there was actually a creature until the group found a dead cow in a tree.
As night fell, Cutter and the group eventually found a Scutosaurus in the woods, which fascinated an awestruck Cutter as he examined it, and they also met Wellington Zookeeper Abby Maitland and Rex. Cutter and the group subsequently went to the Trent house in the aftermath of an attack by what Ben Trent claimed to be a Dinosaur. When Ben claimed to have seen the prehistoric past while in the Forest, Cutter was caught by this and was the only one who believed Ben. Cutter subsequently discussed the phenomenon with Claudia, and he concluded from the dead cow and attack on the Trents that there was another, predatory creature out there. Cutter and the group then returned to the Scutosaurus in the Forest, and deliberately scared it with torches to see where it would look for safety, and followed it to a strange phenomenon which it disappeared into.
The next morning, as the Home Office secured the phenomenon, which Cutter named the Anomaly, Cutter theorised based on Ben's claims and the creatures from the Anomaly the group had seen that the Anomaly was a portal to the distant Past and the creatures where prehistoric animals which were crossing into the Present through it. Cutter also personally realised that if Helen had gone through the Anomaly eight years earlier, it would explain everything about her disappearance except why she didn't return. Cutter and Abby were made to sign the Official Secrets Act at the Home Office, and Cutter discussed his theories about the Anomaly with liaison James Lester, and expressed great dislike for Lester and demanded to be allowed to go through the Anomaly to find out what happened to Helen.

Added by TroopDudeAfter DNA tests on Rex confirmed Cutter's theory that the creatures from the Anomaly were prehistoric animals, Lester allowed Cutter to lead an exploration mission through the Anomaly, but Claudia also assigned Captain Tom Ryan to accompany a reluctant Cutter through the Anomaly for protection. The following evening, Cutter and Ryan took Rex through the Anomaly into the Permian with them and set him free there, and Cutter went off on his own to explore and try to find Helen. Ryan and Cutter found a ruined Human camp in the Permian, and a Human skeleton and an old camera belonging to Helen. After their time in the Permian was up, Cutter refused to go back with Ryan to the Present and wanted to stay to continue searching for Helen, prompting Ryan to knock him out. Captain Ryan then carried Cutter back to the Anomaly with him, and even when the Anomaly began to close, Cutter still refused to leave the Permian without Helen. However, when Ryan threatened to stay as well if Cutter would, a reluctant Cutter gave in and ran back through the closing Anomaly with Captain Ryan to the Present. Moments later, when the Gorgonopsid attacked the team, Cutter tried to save Claudia from the creature until Stephen arrived and killed it.
The next day, Cutter and Lester found photos of Helen in the Permian on the camera, and discussed the Anomaly phenomenon. Cutter believed that the crisis wasn't over as they didn't know what had caused the Anomaly or whether or not it would happen again, and vowed that it was far from over. That night, while Cutter was alone in his office at the University thinking about Helen, someone unseen to him snuck in and out and left him a live Ammonite. Cutter followed the person out and saw that it was Helen, but the latter vanished before Cutter could reach her; leaving Cutter shocked and thinking to himself about what this may mean.
Episode 1.2
Cutter suspected that Helen knew about the anomaly linked to the Permian, searching through her old notes with Stephen. Cutter wasn't happy that Connor had told his friends about the Gorgonopsid and the anomaly, and after they played a trick on him and Abby he promptly fires Connor, but kept Abby on because of her valuable experience dealing with animals. Cutter and Claudia are called to a nearby hospital, where a London Underground Cleaner who was suffering from a vicious wound to his neck and venom. After convincing Lester to close the Underground station where the attack occurred, Cutter and the team went to investigate. Captain Ryan and his soldiers go in first, but were forced to retreat due to giant spiders. After concluding the anomaly is linked to the late Carboniferous Cutter, Stephen and Abby went down to investigate.Episode 1.3

Episode 1.5

Added by RichardElderLester has been piling the pressure on Claudia to get answers from Cutter about the Anomalies but he has no response. Meanwhile, at a nearby golf course, the discovery of a murdered golfer brings the team in. Cutter examined the body and concluded that the man was torn apart by something of phenomenal power and savagery... something that could only have come through an anomaly. However, when Cutter, Abby and Stephen scour the surrounding countryside, they can find no trace of an anomaly, but there is a strong magnetic field present. Cutter noticed there was no sound: the birds and insects have all been scared off. Looking up, they saw the anomaly was in the sky. While Cutter wondered where the creature has gone, Stephen spotted a Pteranodon swooping straight for them, skimming over their heads before flying off. The Pteranodon was apparently attacking Connor, and Cutter prevented Ryan from shooting it, thinking that something wasn't right. The Pteranodon escaped and Cutter and Stephen give chase with Claudia in tow. The Pteranodon is caught and tranquilized but not before Claudia is knocked out by its flailing beak. Cutter was there to comfort her at the clubhouse before realizing she was temporarily blind. Stephen called to confirm Cutter's theory: the Pteranodon didn't harm the golfer, and it wasn't after Connor, but Rex (whom Abby had secretly been keeping).



Added by Prime TempleCutter and a still-blinded Claudia, soaked in blood, swiftly found themselves under attack from a flock of flesh-eating Anurognathus. After being chased around the house, Cutter attempted to escape to get help, leaving Claudia in a secure room, kissing her before he leaves. Escaping into an ambulance he calls the others for help and uses an oxygen tank a a mini flamethrower to kill some of the small pterosaurs. He initially assumed Claudia had been killed when the building exploded, but was relieved to discover she was alive and shocked to discover that she was rescued by Helen. The team meet up at the anomaly and release the Pteranodon. Cutter used a red flag to draw in the creature (which was how he and Stephen managed to capture it earlier) and watched as it flew back home just before the anomaly shut.

Episode 2.2
Cutter struggled to cope with the appearance of Jenny Lewis and began to expand on this idea to the team, but Connor prevented his professor from embarrassing himself even further, and urged him not to mention the subject again until he had proof. Cutter and Connor later got down to the serious work of trying to build an anomaly detector system. Lester was skeptical but reluctantly agreed to giving them a budget. As Cutter decided to talk to Jenny, the team received a creature alert in a high-rise city centre office block. Cutter was intrigued by Jenny's demeanor when they arrived, and he and Stephen entered the building to find it filled with a thick fog. Rescuing a firewoman from a giant, carnivorous Worm, Cutter speculated the anomaly lead to somewhere in the Precambrian and that the worms cant breathe without the fog. While trying to make their way up, Stephen gets lost and Cutter has to flee. Jenny, who was completely disbelieving about the team fighting prehistoric creatures, entered the building and had to be rescued by Cutter, who used a samurai sword to attack a worm. Though initially furious at her, for defying his orders and for replacing Claudia, he came to respect her determination to help. While sending Connor and Abby to turn up the heating in the building to remove

Connor presented his Anomaly Detection Device to the team, and Cutter was impressed by his work, although it appeared to not work as the team learned that a paintballer at Blue Sky Theme Park had been mauled to death. Examining the body, he and Abby realized it was a big cat, and though insistent that the park should be shut down, Jenny and Park Manager Peter Campbell refused, believing it would draw too much attention from the press. The team went looking for the creature, and took a detour with Jenny to investigate West, a man who used to illegally breed lions but no longer did, and was unimpressed by Jenny's methods of flirting. Campbell was killed at a nearby railway station by the beast, and the incident was recorded on video by a trainspotter. Upon examining the footage Cutter discovers that the killer is an enormous Smilodon. The team prepared traps to catch the creature, but Cutter noticed a man's body buried in the pit. They were then attacked by the creature, who was patrolling its territory. Abby distracted it with a mechanical digger while Cutter climbed onto an zipwire slung between the trees, and used it to get it into a safe position for Abby to tranquilize it, only for it to escape. Examining the body, Cutter determined the Smilodon had done it, but someone knew about it and had buried the body. While the others went to check on West, Cutter found a photo of Valerie Irwin, the park's deputy manager, in the dead man's wallet. While searching her house he realized the creature had come through an anomaly years before and she had been looking after it. He was cornered by Valerie, who assumed the team had genetically created the

Cutter called Stephen, Abby and Connor together to discuss exposing the traitor, his suspicions falling on Lester and Jenny. He was about to explain his plan when they were interrupted by the anomaly detector. A Columbian Mammoth had appeared and was rampaging on the M25 in broad daylight. Cutter and the team responded, and Cutter went to help a woman trapped in her car. Then Cutter tried using female elephant urine to lure the Mammoth to the anomaly but it closed, so Cutter quickly decided to lead it into the back of a lorry. Cutter was angry with Stephen when he finally turned up with Helen, claiming she was there to help with the traitor. Cutter refused to talk to either of them, abruptly firing Stephen and dismissing any notion that Helen had come to help. At the ARC, Stephen attempted to bring Cutter around to his way of thinking, but Cutter refused to listen, and Stephen called Cutter arrogant and stubborn, and remarked "No wonder Helen turned to me!". Outraged, Cutter punched Stephen in the face and set work with Connor on tracking down their enemy, refusing to talk about Stephen or Helen. They installed a virus into the ADD to sabotage whoever is hacking into the system, faking the appearance of an anomaly and see who would go to it first, knowing that it would be the traitor. The plan apparently worked, and Jenny arrived at the fake location. When he confronted her, she claimed to have no idea what he is talking about - she had been ordered to go there. After threatening to shoot her, and despite soldiers pointing their own guns at him, Jenny told Cutter that Oliver Leek had sent her: he was is the traitor. The team returned to find Lester badly wounded after a vicious battle with a Future Predator Leek had let loose in the ARC. While trying to hack into his personal files they activated a bomb hidden in the ARC, and with Connor's help he only just managed to deactivate it by removing the car battery it was attached to as a power source. After tracing the signal from a neural clamp used to control the Predator, Lester left to deal with Leek, and Cutter, Connor, Abby and Jenny tracked down Caroline Steel (Connor's ex-girlfriend) hoping to recover Rex after she had taken him. Arriving at a strange facility, they found Leek waiting for themEpisode 2.7

Some months after Stephen's death, a deadly Entelodon came through an anomaly, and rampaged down Oxford Street, killing three people. However Cutter refused to allow Captain Jake Hemple to kill it. However after bringing it down with a tranquilizer, a second creature attacked Jenny, and he reluctantly ordered its death in fear of losing another dear friend. At Lester's office, Cutter shared his feelings about having creatures killed, however, Lester was unsympathetic and Jenny furious. Connor meanwhile, had noticed a change in the recent anomalies, and that it was growing, while Cutter wondered as to whether any other countries were dealing with anomalies and thought they should share resources. A few weeks later, while dealing with many Euparkeria at a gas station, Cutter noticed the anomaly was also erratic. Cutter decided to go back to the Central Metropolitan University to check out some of the stuff he had left in his old office, even if it had been written by the version of him from this timeline. While there, a Russian paleontologist named Nikolai Medyevin approached him, and Cutter was suspicious as to how he had known he was going to be there. Then a Russian soldier named Koshkin arrived, holding Connor and Abby at gunpoint. They were all kidnapped and (having been injected with a dose of tranquilizer) woke up to learn they were on their way to Siberia. While speaking with Medyevin, Cutter realizes the Russians also had an anomaly problem.
After arriving at the advance camp, he met Professor Rina Suvova, whom used to be his and Helen's mentor when they were in college. Cutter was introduced to other scientists who believed the creatures were the result of a survival, and were reluctant to accept the idea of anomalies, however Connor convinced them to give them a chance to prove themselves. After building a crude detector they set out to find the anomaly, and encounter Torosaurus with an injured calf, leading to Connor and Umarov being injured and the detector ruined. That night there was an explosion, and Koshkin explained it was an event similar to the Tunguska incident, and Cutter insisted on investigating. On the way they found an enormous herd of dead Anatotitans, which died from shock, and Troodons that were feasting on one of the larger carcasses. When they finally find the impact site, Yushenko was killed and eaten by a female Tyrannosaurus Rex, named Baba Yaga, while everyone was distracted. After an Ankylosaurus crashed through their camp, Cutter's group located the anomaly, and they went through it. However, it closed, leaving them stranded in the past. Cutter feared the strange occurances were to do with the impending K-T meteor about to strike in the Cretaceous, and while waiting, Helen who came to "help", Jenny, Hemple, and the rest of the Alpha Team arrived, having used Helen as a guide to find the Russian anomaly. Helen said that the Tunguskan anomalies erratic behavior was to do with the repeated meteor impacts. Cutter asked for Helen's help in closing the anomaly to prevent the K-T impactor from wiping out present-day Earth, but she only wanted him to leave it behind. Refusing, he decided they would take her back to the ARC, but she escaped again as the anomaly opened.
Arriving back, Yuri Torosyan and several other men took them back to the advance camp, where they were kidnapped, handcuffed, and imprisoned under Shvachko's order, who didn't believe in the anomalies. Koshkin freed them and agreed to help, having been convinced by his experience, but then Baba Yaga attacked the camp. Cutter helped the others in trying to bring it down with his tranquilizer gun. and was nearly eaten before Abby finally managed to bring it down. However a second T-Rex, a smaller, yet still very dangerous, male, arrived and attacked, killing Medyevin. Baba Yaga woke up, and killed the male, and then retreated back into the dark, dank forests of Siberia. Meanwhile Connor and Koshkin managed to successfully fire a Russian EMP weapon that permanently sealed the anomaly. Afterwards Cutter and the others are all sent back home, and have come to an agreement that if the anomaly reopens they only need to ask for their help.

Added by IluvprimevalCutter, using Sarah's research, came up with a way to use the data by putting it into a 'Matrix', an intricate graph device designed to be a 3-D representation of all anomalies throughout history. Cutter explained to Jenny that the Matrix's aim was to try and predict where and when the next anomaly would appear. Using the latest information, Cutter predicted that the next anomaly would appear in an abandoned house, but he is uncertain of the time it will open. Cutter sends Jenny, Abby and Connor to investigate, and when Sarah wants to go he insists she stay with him to continue researching. Later, Cutter was deep in thought when the alarm went off, caused by the invasion by the Cleaner, the one killed in the Silurian, and had tried breaking into Cutter's locker, but shot dead by Becker. Cutter recognized the impossible and realized there was only one logical explanation for the intrusion: Helen, saying "Something inexplicable happens, Helen's usually behind it." Connor later called, having dealt with a Camouflage Beast from the Future, confirming Cutter's prediction. At the end of the day Cutter returned to his home, unaware Helen was there too and narrowly missed catching her when he finds his front door open despite having shut it.
