Alfred Brownlee
Alfred Brownlee is a Middle Eastern archeologist. He was
a friend of Whit's and helped him on some of his projects in the Middle
East. Alfred seems to be a get-rich-quick kind of guy who will do
anything to make a good deal on his finds.
However, apart from his involvement in #355:
The Search for Whit I
he has never really found anything valuable.
Alfred Brownlee found and sent some artifacts from Jerusalem, in an
episode called “The Jesus Cloth”, that included a cloth that was thought
to be a piece of the robe belonging to Jesus. It caused a lot of
commotion in Odyssey. It was never confirmed that the cloth was really
from Jesus' robe, because the only way to identify it was to do a test
on it that required burning the entire small cloth. It was eventually
sent back to the Israeli government to be put in a museum on public
display.
