Joshua Todd-Cothran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joshua Todd-Cothran is a fictional character in the Left Behind series of novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. He is the head of the London Stock Exchange and like his colleague Jonathan Stonagal, is a highly influential financier. So influential, in fact, that award-winning journalist Cameron "Buck" Williams believes he is responsible for having many professional acquaintances liquidated. Williams also suspects Todd-Cothran had framed him for the violent death of Scotland Yard agent and close friend Alan Tompkins, who had grown suspicious of Todd-Cothran's practices.
At his first meeting as United Nations Secretary General (at the end of Left Behind Book 1), Nicolae Carpathia executes Todd-Cothran with a revolver, knowing that he is responsible for plotting the attempt on Williams' life earlier in the book as well as the assassinations. The same bullet that kills Todd-Cothran had also passed through Stonagal's head. Carpathia then brainwashes everyone in the room (except Williams, who was protected by God) into believing that it was Stonagal who shot himself and Todd-Cothran in remorse for the assassinations.
