Changes: Gordon (Gecko)

Revision as of 11:28, 16 April 2015

For other characters named Gordon, see Gordon.

“I am greedy. But most people misunderstand greed. Greed is a powerful driving force. Throughout history, mankind's greatest achievements were driven by men that wanted to better their positions. Driven by greed. Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.”

Gordon of Gecko is a ghoul living in Gecko around 2241.

Background

He is described as very nicely dressed with his hair slicked back.^[1] He describes himself as greedy, although he adds that most people misunderstand greed, which is a powerful driving force. Gordon is a member of the Brain's Renewal cult and he has calculated that if the Gecko reactor was running properly, an enormous amount of power could be generated - far more than Gecko needs.
