Prof. Gerald loved his granddaughter, Maria Robotnik, and was working on a cure for the fatal illness she had, until G.U.N came. Maria was killed by G.U.N while assisting Shadow in escaping them.

Fifty years before the main series, he attempts to create the "Ultimate Life Form" under the funding of the United Fedaration, hoping that it can help cure Maria's illness. He fails various times until meeting with the alien, Black Doom, and using his DNA to create Shadow. He learns of Black Doom's true plan (to destroy the planet), and prepares the ARK to act against Black Doom when the time comes. Later, G.U.N decided Gerald's experiments were dangerous to humanity, and board the ARK to shut them down, killing Maria in the process. This caused Gerald to lose grip on reality, and create plans to crash the ARK into the planet. He is then captured by the government and executed.
