Gadd

You first meet Gadd in the quest Finding Gadd. He is doing an experiment in the Bloodstone caves, Livia is helping him with that. The Asuras need Gadd to complete project G.O.L.E.M.

After fighting off the Destroyers attacking the GOLEM construction site, and subsequently clearing the Destroyer hive, Oola tells the party that Gadd died because he tried to increase the power of the Golems. Vekk is stricken more than one would expect given his previous remarks about Gadd, and we learn that Gadd was in fact Vekk's father.
