Canon fodder Wraithbait. Somebody to strut around and look manly/cocky/been there done that to promptly be killed off in a "haven't done this, you're in over your head" gesture. We weren't supposed to get attached.
But then they cast Robert Patrick and well...a lot of us got attached. None of us were particularly ready to see Sumner die. Despite knowing it was coming. RP was not signed as a cast member (woe) so...
there's always fanfiction. Now, this isn't a particularly happy or hopeful fic. Poor guy doesn't make it out of this one (it is a deathfic, consider yourself warned) but...it's a damned
good one. It gives Sumner a chance to show his colours in situations we never got to see. It's a fantastic read and, I hope, someday
daughtershade might give us the "Five Ways Marshal Sumner Lived".
