Sharma

skeptical protective observant wry resilient
Sharma directs a Calcutta laboratory where he confronts empirical mysteries, including exhumed coffins bearing marks of the undead. Scarred on his cheek from a prior vampiric attack that killed his assistants Gupta and Khan, he protects his 12-year-old deaf daughter Yamini. Sponsored by the shadowy Mr. Balaur to travel aboard the Demeter, his scientific rigor battles mounting evidence of supernatural horror. Observant amid shipboard tensions, he banters wryly with passengers like Adisa, rationalizes peril with dry logic, and vows to shield Yamini from monsters despite his skepticism.
