Gilbert M
methodical
regretful
technically skilled
defiant under pressure
cowardly at core but increasingly bold
Gilbert M serves as a scientific officer within Helen A's authoritarian regime on Necros-5, though his formal title remains unspoken. Initially loyal, his conscience fractures under the weight of his own inventions. He engineered the Kandyman’s body as a vehicle for a lethal new germ, an oversight that left half the population dead and forced his exile from Vasilip. His technical skills later support the Doctor’s rebellion when he commandeers an escape shuttle, prioritizing justice over obedience. Beneath his nervous deference and methodical precision, Gilbert harbors deep resentment toward the regime’s brutality and, most critically, toward his own role in it. His moments of defiance—whether through bitter vocabulary like 'Weltschmertz' or through outright refusal to restart his work—reveal a man slowly recapturing his humanity at the cost of his former life.
