Gerald (Wing Commander)
Background
Paul Gerald is the commander on the T.C.S. Tiger Claw as part of the Federation Fleet.
During the events of Wing Commander (1999) played by Jurgen Prochnow
Gerald takes Blair to see Sansky and Blair gives Sansky the coded disc with the message and tells him the Pegasus has been destroyed. As Blair is leaving, Gerald asks if it is true that his father married a Pilgrim and that Pilgrims don't think like them. Sansky reads the message and Gerald tells him he doesn't trust the message. At the Tiger Claw after Blair and Deveraux engage Kilrathi fighters, Gerald accuses Blair of being a traitor and compromising the ship by attacking the Kilrathi and warning them of their presence. Sansky asks Gerald what he suggests, and Gerald tells him they should send out fighters to attack the communications module, but Paladin disagrees and thinks that will leave the Tiger Claw too vulnerable, but he is overruled. After the Tiger Claw has been damaged in its fight with the Kilrathi fleet, Gerald has the Helmsman land the Tiger Claw in a crater and Obutu tells him a decoy has been sent out to trick the Kilrathi fleet. The majority of the fleet follow the decoy, but a destroyer stays on course and starts bombarding the craters. As their fuel supplies start to run low, Paladin comes up with an idea to steal fuel cells from the Kilrathi ship. Blair, Deveraux, Paladin, Gerald and a group of marines land on the Kilrathi communication ship and fight their way to the fuel cells and helm. Blair then finds the Pegasus Navcom. Gerald has Obutu prepare a drone with the Kirlathi jump coordinates they got off of the Pegasus Navcom. Obutu tells him the drones are offline and Paladin suggests Blair go to deliver the coordinates with Deveraux as his backup. After Blair successfully gets the coordinates to the Concordia fleet, Gerald celebrates with Paladin and Blair.
