History[]
A day earlier, Dr. Hartman contacted Barry Wheeler, Wake's literary agent, and told him that his client had been taken to the shelter. But in reality, this was a trap, so that Wheeler would be captured by Birch, along with another assistant, and locked in an office in the institution's personnel wing.
When the writer Alan Wake woke up in the Cauldron Lake Logde, Birch accompanied Dr. Hartman in case Wake reacted violently during the tour of the Lodge before the psychologist left him with Wake in his "care" during a storm. unnatural was beginning to form over Lake Cauldron. Shortly afterward, while keeping an eye on the writer, Nurse Sinclair called Birch to help her restrain the Anderson brothers, who were attempting to cause a distraction to give Wake a chance to escape from her. Much to the surprise of the moment, Thor's plastic hammer somehow turned into a real one and knocked Sinclair unconscious, forcing Birch to hide in a nearby storage closet, while the brothers mocked him.
Shortly after The Dark Presence has begun to take over the psychiatric hospital. Nurse Birch was inevitably engulfed by his influence and had become a Taken. When Alan Wake tried to escape from the lodge, through the hedge maze, Birch (now transformed in Taken) tried to kill him, along with a flock of possessed birds, but the writer managed to kill him so quickly and managed to escape from there.

Trivia[]
