Scott "Scotty" Watson

Captain Scott "Scotty" Watson is the owner/operator of a small marine salvage vessel in Westport, Washington. He is a retired member of the Merchant Marine, and has been all over the world in his travels.

When a scouting party from Elma investigated the ghost town, they found Mr. Watson holed up in a vault/panic room in his offices on the marina. He is technically savvy, and was able to use his iPad to monitor what was happening nearby using remote surveillance cameras on his ship and office. This coupled with periodic daytime excursions allowed him to gather information that he shared with the scouts for the low price of a case of Red Man chewing tobacco.

Watson bears the outward appearance of a gruff, salty old sea-dog, but deep down is something a bit softer. He exhibits a healthy sense of humor, and a non-creepy fondness for kids. He refused to leave Westport without rescuing two teenagers he'd made contact with during his scouting missions, and easily convinced the team from Elma to rescue them from the swarms of giant mutant crabs infesting the coastal town. Watson is very much a team player, being used to being part of a crew. At nearly 60 years old, and having seen and done so much in his adventurous life, Watson supposedly doesn't fear death any longer, and has participated in at least one risky operation that required his diving expertise when none of the other younger divers were willing to go back into the monster-infested water to help recover the Westport meteor.
