“I work too much. I have no life. And the one thing that’s come out of that? Is that the people that I love the most…they’re the ones that I work with.”
Evan Cross, is a wealthy visionary inventor who lives in Vancouver, and, is the founder and CEO of Cross Photonics alongside his old friend and partner, Angelika Finch after four attempts at starting their own business. Meeting Brooke a short time after this, the two later got married living a fairly happy life together until on September 15, 2006, when Evan and Brooke were returning home from a vacation on an island, Evan decided to drive through and check out an industrial district on the way home. There, Evan's cellphone picked up magnetic interference from within a restricted facility, and he and Brooke then investigated despite Brooke's reluctance. The two broke into the building, and found an Anomaly there.
An Albertosaurus then attacked the two and killed Brooke despite Evan's attempts to save her. The Albertosaurus next attacked Evan, but he was saved and pulled out of the creature's way by Mac Rendell. After forcing the Albertosaurus back through the Anomaly, Mac told Evan that the Anomaly was a portal to his home and begged Evan to send him back through; but the Anomaly then closed before Evan could drag Mac through, and Mac died in Evan's arms of his injuries.
Evan subsequently covered Brooke's death up, buying the facility and kept Mac's body frozen within the facility. When Evan went to London to explain Mac's death to his family, he met Mac's 19-year-old self and realized that the Mac that had saved him was from the Future. Evan then recruited the young Mac as a Cross Photonics security guard in Vancouver (so as to negate Mac's death from the latter's personal timeline, as a form of repentance for saving Evan from the Albertosaurus), and never told Mac of the former's encounter with Mac's alternate future self. Spending the next six years hunting and trying to study the Anomalies along with his old friend Tony Drake which led him to meeting Dylan Weir whom he would later hire as a Predatory Control expert for his anomaly research team. Dylan being instinct verse Evan’s hyper-intellectualism.
After Evan and Dylan traveled into the anomaly and their timeline altered, Evan now found himself in a radically altered world, finding a new rival company, and, where his 'team' has the support of the A.R.C., working with them given his company being the main private investor in the A.R.C. operations. Forced to quickly adjust to the new dynamics of this timeline, the only other one whom remembers the way it was supposed to be, is Dylan Weir. It can be noted that while he seems to have developed a healthy friendship with A.R.C. staff, especially Connor Temple, he has been known to butt heads with certain A.R.C. team leaders. Evan is also highly protective of his team.
