Biography: 

Professor Wilkins is teaching and boarding Bayard while Bayard pursuits a law degree. He seems to have grown fond of Bayard and calls him "my son" when he has to deliver tragic news (212). Professor and student have had conversations about the principles of the Bible and the Ten Commandments, particularly "Thou shalt not kill." He is afraid that Bayard is contemplating breaking it as he "believed he was touching [Bayard's] flesh which might not be alive tomorrow" (216). Bayard refers to him as "Judge Wilkins" (212).
