Background

Cutler is a mercenary in England. He was a button maker before he joined the army.

During the events of A Field in England (2013) played by Ryan Pope

During a battle of the English Civil War in Monmouthshire, Friend collapses near Whitehead and Cutler checks on him. Whitehead prays that Trower doesn't find him and Cutler starts to take things from the supposedly dead Friend. Trower finds Whitehead and threatens him, but is suddenly stabbed from the back with a spear. He continues to walk towards Whitehead and is shot dead by Cutler. Cutler cuts the ring off of Trower's finger and then steals his boots. Whitehead stumbles towards Jacob who is also going through Friend's stuff. Jacob starts attacking Whitehead and Cutler when he thinks they are members of the opposing forces and Cutler tells him that they are no longer a part of any army. He tells the others that he knows of an ale house not far away and Friend suddenly gets up. They start to walk towards where the ale house is supposed to be and Whitehead contemplates going back to the battle. Cutler notices the sounds of battle have faded and they continue on their way. They arrive at Cutler's camp and he goes to gather mushrooms for a soup. He offers the soup to the others and Friend and Jacob eat it, but Whitehead says he is fasting.

Whitehead asks the others to help him and takes them to a fairy circle where they find a rope tied to a rune covered wooden post. Cutler then convinces them to pull on the rope and they pull O'Neil from the ground. O'Neil tells Cutler to bring him his scrying mirror and Cutler hands Friend and Jacob shovels and orders them to follow him. O'Neil brings them to his camp and then tortures Whitehead in his tent. He ties a rope around Whitehead and Whitehead, in a trance runs to a certain spot in the field. O'Neil then has Jacob and Friend dig a hole. Friend, Jacob and Whitehead continue to dig the hole and eventually have to put in shoring.

Friend and Jacob start to fight and Cutler pees on them to get them to stop. Jacob charges at Cutler and Cutler fires at him, but shoots Friend in the chest. Friend's body is dragged out of the hole and Cutler is forced to take his place and dig. Cutler hits something with the shovel and tells O'Neil, who tells him there never was an ale house and he just told him that to entice the others. Cutler finds what he thought was treasure, but turns out to be a burial. Cutler tells O'Neil there is no treasure and O'Neil and Whitehead are both frauds. O'Neil then shoots Cutler dead.
