In The Gods of This World
Carlton Hopper is a brilliant professor and teacher in the paranormal. He had spent all his life trying to prove that the Gods and monsters of old legend were actually real. He traveled the world, taking notes as he did. But when he brought his findings back to his superiors, they denounced him as insane and took away his teaching credentials. Disheartened, and left without a wife, Carlton moved to Cleveland, Ohio to stay. After that, he became something of a local legend. He lived in a house out in the woods and would only come out when he had something "insane" to say. Since he never posed as harm to himself or anyone else, everyone just simply ignored him and regarded him as a small town crazy.

That is until the Journal of the Hidden was opened. The Trusted Six learned about him and his beliefs and went to find him. When they did, they managed to convince him that they were supernatural beings. He was overjoyed by this as he was about to finally accept that he was just insane. He was able to meet all of the Gods and acted as a mentor to the Six. He was present in the final battle against the Hidden. When the battle was over, he celebrated Barry's birthday with him, his family, and his friends.
