Olag Gan

Olag Gan is a supporting character in the first two seasons of Blake's 7.
He was portrayed by the late David Jackson.
==Biography==
Gan was convicted of murder after killing a Federation security guard who had killed his woman, even though he had been unarmed and the other man had a gun. He was fitted with a limiter that prevented him from killing and sentenced to deportation to Cygnus Alpha. On the voyage, he met Roj Blake and agreed to join him in an escape attempt. Gan's strength proved an asset, with him managing to overpower their guard and force him to let them out, but he and most of the other prisoners were swiftly recaptured and left behind when Blake, Jenna and Avon managed to escape aboard the Liberator.
Reaching Cygnus Alpha, Gan took on a leadership role among the prisoners, being protective of [[Vila Restal|Vila] and leading them in making contact with the cult led by Vargas, who ruled the planet. When Blake arrived, Gan was the first to agree to join him in a breakout attempt and made it to the safety of the Liberator with Blake and Vila.
On the crew's first resistance mission to Saurian Major, Gan remained behind on the ship with Jenna to look after the occupants of a space capsule the Liberator had retrieved. He admitted the existence of his limiter for the first time, with it making him of limited use when the capsule's occupants turned out to be a trio of murderous Programmed Guardians, although he did manage to distract one from killing Jenna.
His strength proved of use on the subsequent mission to Centero, with him being co-opted to rip the cypher machine free of its housing. Not long after, Gan's limiter malfunctioned, causing him to attack the crew and have to be restrained. The limiter was reluctantly repaired by Professor Kayn, although there was no way to remove it. Gan volunteered to teleport aboard a drifting spaceship to see if they were in distress, but ended up being captured by Amagon bounty hunters who used his voice print to board the ship. He was later part of the rescue team that searched for the occupants of life capsules on Cephalon and contracted radiation poisoning as a result, having to be cured by drugs Blake and Cally retrieved from Aristo.
Despite usually being loyal to Blake, Gan was extremely vocal in his opposition to Blake's plan to enlist the aid of the crime syndicate Terra Nostra, opposition which only increased when Blake planned to force the issue by taking control of the supply of the addictive drug shadow. His last mission as a member of the Liberator crew was an attack on the Federation's main computer complex, Control. Gan, together with Blake, Avon and Vila, made it to the centre of the complex only to discover the building was a dummy, a lure for pointless rebel activity. The group were captured by their old enemy, Travis, but freed when Jenna and the local rebel Veron used Travis' superior Servalan as a hostage. Trying to reach the surface, Gan was trapped under a sliding door he had kept open for the others and urged Blake to leave him, observing "I'm not worth dying for." Moments later, a grenade thrown by Travis caused a cave-in and Gan was killed by the falling rubble.
