Gerald Wildman

"Lady, do you people even know what is happening down here?"

- Gerald to Alika James

Gerald Wildman was the quartermaster of Talos I during Prey (2017).

Background
Gerald Wildman worked as the quartermaster in the Cargo Bay aboard Talos I, and was in charge of handling all cargo shipments entering and leaving the station. Prior to the outbreak, he contacted his subordinates Enoch Kouneva, Ash Lasair, Diane Washington, and Eddie Voss to handle a shipment of chlorine trifluoride arriving from the Pytheas moonbase. Unbeknownst to him, prototype Typhon Gate parts were also being delivered, and Sylvain Bellamy sent Dayo Igwe to the Cargo Bay to retrieve them.

During the Typhon breakout, Gerald sent several of his people to Life Support to evacuate, not realizing that the escape pods were broken and unusable. This led Kirk Remmer to send out an SOS before being killed. Around this time the Typhon Gate components in the shipment were set off by the Typhon, which ignited the chemicals and caused a hull breach which killed several of Gerald's engineers. Alika James then contacted Gerald about Remmer's SOS, but was refused by him due to the hull breach. Shortly after, he took his remaining engineers into Fuel Storage to attempt to contain the breach damage.

Prey (2017)
Morgan Yu finds Gerald's corpse in the Cargo Bay Fuel Storage on top of a shelf near the end of the corridor. It's implied that Gerald tried to hide from the Typhon by climbing up on a high platform. He may have been poisoned by the toxic gas leaking from the pipes nearby. He carries an EMP Charge fabrication plan, a Wrench, and additional random loot.
