Chudleigh Pomeroy is Tom’s boss at the Museum of Natural History in London. He can be a strict boss, punishing Tom for being late or daring to venture outside the Museum when he should be on duty. But the end of the story reveals that when times get tough and the Engineers attempt to take over the city, Pomeroy is willing to fight back with the other Historians. In particular, he and the other Museum workers try to stall the Engineers long enough for Katherine and Pod to disable the deadly MEDUSA weapon. Pomeroy represents how people show their true nature in times of crisis.
