Reggie Anwar

## About

Reggie had been a coroner in Jericho's county, in the American state of Vermont, since at least the 1990s. He was asked by the sheriff, Noble Walker, in 1990 to falsify Garrett Gates' death certificate, an action that would later cost him his life.

## Description

Reggie was seen wearing a white and gray-pattern button-up shirt with a blue tie. On top of the button-up, he was wearing a blue sweater vest with a coat on top. He had black hair that was graying and brown eyes.

## Personality

He was helpful towards people, opting to come into the office when the sheriff asked him to, and planning to take his wife on a cruise after he retired.

## Appearances

### Season 1

#### *Chapter IV: Woe What a Night*

Wednesday and Thing decided to break into Jericho's morgue to find the other files of the monster's other victims, make copies of them, and autopsy the latest victim, a homeless man named Fabian. While Wednesday was inspecting the body and Thing was printing the files, he saw an arriving car by the window and warned Wednesday so that they could hide. Reggie and Donovan Galpin then entered the morgue, with the sheriff thanking the coroner for coming back to show him the corpses. Anwar says that was not a problem at all and tells whatever or whoever was responsible for the murders that, in his whole career as a coroner, he never saw injuries like them. He opened a fridge and showed Galpin that Fabian's killer cut off two toes from the body's left foot, likely with a surgical saw. A detail that Wednesday noticed before they arrived. Galpin asks that as soon as the report is finished, it has to be sent straight to his desk, and that the media should not be aware of that incident. Reggie then announced his retirement to Donovan, Friday being his last day as a coroner, and that he would bring his wife on a four-week cruise. Galpin wished him the best and left.

About to leave too, Anwar noticed an opened body fridge and found Wednesday playing dead in it. The impression is so realistic that he thinks it's a dead body, then closes the fridge and leaves.

#### *Chapter V: You Reap What You Woe*

One week later, as Parents' Weekend begins at Nevermore, Donovan is seen arguing with his son Tyler at Weathervane. The first is called by Deputy Ritchie Santiago on his cell phone: Anwar was found dead in the morgue, having apparently committed suicide. When Donovan arrives at the morgue, Santiago declares that this is the first time someone's killed themselves in the morgue, and the morgue being the crime scene, their guys have no idea what to do with the body. She then debriefs Galpin: the gun was a Colt. 45, legal and registered to Anwar's name; according to the janitor, he kept it in his desk. Galpin is surprised by Anwar's suicide, having seen him last week, and happy to soon become retired and go on a cruise with his wife. Ritchie says that you never know what's going through someone's head, and at Donovan's question on security footage, she answers that the camera was obscured by a black bubblegum left by Thing and Wednesday from last week. About the suicide note, it says that Anwar was feeling guilty about an old case, covered it up, faked the coroner's report, and has been living feeling guilty all these years: Garrett Gates' murder. Donovan is surprised and thinks he'll finally arrest the murderer, having been waiting for that for 30 years now.

#### *Chapter VII: If You Don't Woe Me By Now*

After Jericho's mayor, Noble Walker, was murdered, Bianca approaches Wednesday at Nevermore, saying that she has information about the murder. Both girls go to the Nightshade's Library to meet Lucas Walker, Noble's son. He gives printed files to Wednesday that he found on his father's computer. It seems that he was trying to track down some woman, Laurel Gates, and started right after Outreach Day. According to British police, Laurel drowned, but her body was never found. Then they see that the Gates Mansion was purchased last year by a 90-year-old candy heiress who has mysteriously died and given all of her belongings to her caregiver, Teresa L. Glau, an anagram for Laurel Gates. Bianca realizes that Laurel secretly bought her childhood house and came back to Jericho under a false identity. She did it to get revenge on all the people she blames for her family's deaths: Noble, Anwar, the Addams family, and most of all, Nevermore. This leads Wednesday to continue suspecting Valerie Kinbott of being Laurel and Xavier Thorpe of being the monster.
