Overview
Bowry Champlain is a charter pilot in Scenebux who transports Ben Etxina to Little Saint Demeter. He is associated with Max Pacifica and the island’s small aviation route from Guam.
Ben sees Bowry as a sun-spotted, leathery Afrikaner pilot in a patched jacket, comparing him to the drug-addled front man of a 2000s soft-rock band.
Role
Bowry accepts cash in Guam, flies Ben to Little Saint Demeter, and walks him to Max’s house. At dinner, he drinks with Easton Cannonade and sells him drugs.
Bowry also gives Ben his own fragments of background. He says he is Afrikaner, describes the practical advantages of cash work around Guam, and at dinner tells a violent “bush songs” story about shooting a rapist with a Belgian FN FAL rifle.
After Max dies, Jacaranda Rosenbaum-Josselewicz arranges for Bowry to return and fly her and Ben off the island.
