Atticus was supposed to be a dullahan in the 21st century. I don't know what his "human" job would be, but certainly would have something to do with a suit, at least.

His original name Daighre means "fire" in Irish, so only fitting that instead of running around like the Ghost Rider (in dullahan form he'd probably be very much like the Ghost Rider except with more politeness than roaring around at night on his bike), he just smokes.
