He has an eidetic memory, and can read over 20,000 words per minute.

Reid learned everything he knows from his mother, who was a college professor on 15th century literature. While he was growing up, his mother suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. When Reid was 18 he had his mother placed in a psychiatric institution. Reid is afraid that his mother’s condition may be genetic and at times “fears his own mind.”

Reid is known to be a skilled illusionist, Star Trek fan, and talented card player.
