Character:Baseball-cop

Officer Troy Brown was a 25 year old police officer in Detroit during the 1970s. He and his wife Carla were killed in a drive-by shooting, a hit ordered by a local mob boss.

Post-Resurrection
After spending three decades climbing the career ladder, Troy was at a coffee shop where a live concert by Harry Chapin on the television was being broadcast. He remembered how popular the musician's songs had been in the Old Real, and started paying a bit of attention.

That was when Cat's in the Cradle started playing, and Troy realized he hadn't seen his wife - really seen her - in at least a month. A workaholic in life and afterlife, Troy realized he needed to start living beyond his job, and has used the song as a sort of totem to remind him not to overwork himself.

A few months later, Troy and Carla Brown adopted Jackson, a 9 year old boy who had died in a plane crash and been resurrected only days prior to adoption.
