Lars Douglas

Don't worry babe, you're a sight for sore eyes!

Lars Douglas is the Forensic Expert of the Bureau.

Profile
Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Lars is a 45-year-old forensic expert who worked as a scientist prior to his tenure to the Bureau. He has graying blond hair and stubble. He wears a lab coat over his "LONE ROSES" fan t-shirt. He is also seen donning a pair of spectacles over his green eyes. Lars is known to daydream and joke around habitually and he is visibly lazy.
