Biography[]
Graham is an American Consul General at the American Consulate in Marseille, France. He is an ardent isolationist. He is not sympathetic to the plight of the refugees. A pragmatist at heart, Graham believes Nazi victory is inevitable and strictly follows the mandate of American neutrality, so he will do whatever it takes to ensure that his country won't be involved in another devastating war, even if that means sentencing millions of European refugees to death. He is the Emergency Rescue Committee's fiercest rival, and doesn't hesitate to use his Ivy League background against them. Graham dines with Marseille Police Commander Philippe Frot, and entertains American businessmen.
Graham's secretary, Lorene Letoret, secretly works for the Gestapo, Nazi Secret Police. She spies on members of the Emergency Rescue Committee.
