Augustus Waters

Augustus "Gus" Waters is described as being tall, very handsome, intelligent, having light brown eyes and brown hair. He fears oblivion, as he wants to make a mark on the world. He hates the idea of not being able to leave a mark at all, due to his diagnosis of cancer and its later-on terminal attribute.

Gus knew Isaac before the Support Group, the single and sole reason he was there was because he wanted to support Isaac, before undergoing surgery. Gus succumbed to his cancer.

Gus constantly symbolized the situations at hand. One example is his tendency to put an unlit cigarette in his mouth, something of a trademark of his: “It’s a metaphor, see: you put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing”.
