Thanks, y'all. I just wanted to make sure all the readers are on the same ground to get the same view.
MSB, may I ask if this is pursuant to your work on a "Kolchak" piece? I ask because it sounds like it might fit into such a narrative.
There were episodes where Kolchak encountered demonic forces, Satanists, and even a witch coven, however, he never brought faith into it other than what popular legends he was told by the professionals he interviewed. He had faith in those things that saved his ass, but he never once showed any real faith in any particular religion.
I understand that a TV character with one hour episodes is likely a fairly shallow character, but Kolchak has his unique character and personal faults. That needs to be expanded upon and given greater depth in my opinion. Also, Kolchak never had a concluding episode where everything came together and he was able to overcome something in his life that he needed to in able to grow as a character.
ETA: There is a paperback I must read, the one that started the first movies and then the later series, "The Kolchak Files". I think we can see where the X-Files got its name.
Correction: It was called "The Kolchak Papers" by Jeff Rice and is a collection of the first novels Kolchak "the Night Stalker" and "the Night Strangler". It goes for around $20 if you can find it. I may try some libraries.
