The handsome, blue-haired scientist is one of the oldest humans in the Galaxy, if you're counting from birthdates. Born in the late 20th century, "Gav" studied nuclear physics and worked for the government, but actually ended up making his fortune in the entertainment industry. In a quest to live to see the distant future, he had himself cryogenically frozen just prior to the Content Crash of the early 21st century. Thanks to the resultant depletion of his estate, he spent most of the next 1000-odd years being shuffled from one dusty, forgotten collegiate laboratory to another. He was thawed out by a teaching assistant in the late 31st century on the premise that "maybe this box labeled 'ancient biologicals' will have something nifty in it."
