Gadd

Gadd is an Asuran Elementalist with little consideration for who gets injured in his work, particuarly Humans.

Lore
From the manual:


 * Gadd is a cantankerous, demanding old Asura, who prefers to hire "disposable humans" to help him in the lab with his experiments. Though he won't admit it, this is partly due to necessity, as many of his own race won't work for him. Many unfortunate "accidents" have befallen Gadd's past assistants, and though one is likely to learn much in his employ, most Asura prefer to live a long life.


 * Gadd has recently employed a group of humans willing (or stupid enough) to assist him. They claim to be members of a rebel group fighting to restore peace and order to their homelands, which Gadd could care less about. He gives them the "privilege" of testing his inventions, and if they survive, he'll let them purchase a few. Gadd is respected by other Asura but is given a very wide berth even by his associates. You never can tell when he's going to wake up on the wrong side of the bed... and use you in his next experiment.

Dialogue
During the Finding Gadd quest, upon meeting Gadd:

Gadd: "This is the help you recruited, Livia? I'm not impressed." Vekk: "I see Gadd is as charming as ever." Gadd: "Vekk, I didn't see you there! Now I'm REALLY not impressed."

Gadd: "Great, we have all three inscriptions. Let us continue to our objective posthaste!"

Gadd: "Stand out of my way while I open this door, you knuckle-dragging oafs!"

Trivia
Gadd could be named after the professor from the Nintendo game Luigi's Mansion (and also makes an apperance in Mario Party 6), Elvin Gadd.

At the end of the last Asurian mission the character discovers that Gadd has Died in an explosion during the fight with the destroyers.
