They both sound promising, but could you elaborate further on the historian? I think it’s the role I’m leaning towards the most.

The historian can be thought of as human wikipedia; their minds were special trained to memorize and retain large swaths of information. As previously mentioned, this information primarily is composed of data related to the 21st century. The memory of a historian is vital to the survival of a team, as they hold the knowledge of future financial history, how events play out historical, and potential host candidates. Most importantly historians can relay complex messages sent from the director to the team. For example, a historian would be able to remember the sports betting results of horse racing, dog racing, boxing, etc, along with knowledge of trends in the stockmarket as. The knowledge of potential host candidates will allow the historian's team to know the arrival of incoming travelers if needed. Lastly, a historian will better assist their team in planning operations with their detailed knowledge of how certain events play out.

As the timeline is altered by the choices of the traveler team, the historian's knowledge will eventually become obsolete, this is where the concept of an update comes into play. Simply, an update is a personal event for the historian where they subjected to a refresh in their historical knowledge for the changes in the timeline. The update isn't particularly something you should worry about until the end of the first mission so it would be better if I were to explain to you in better detail then if you decide to choose the historian.
