Gerald Moore

"You fucked with the wrong family."
- Gerald Moore to New Dawn terrorist David Gordon
Gerald Moore is a character in the TACITUS saga. He was a decorated soldier in the Special Forces Operations Detachment-Delta, though he was known by all to be "wild" and "cocky". Despite this, he was also considered a loyal, protective man who always put his comrades ahead of himself.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Not much is known about Gerald's early life, except for the fact that he led a "rebellious lifestyle", similar to Derek Westbrook. In the short story collection titled, Life: A Compilation, he mentions getting into fights, getting drunk, and nearly getting someone killed in a drunk-driving accident, among other things. 
Years later, in 2016, 38-year old Gerald pursued a violently misanthropic spree killer known as the Black Falcon, who goes on a rampage across New York City to kill as many people as he can, with the intention of avenging the people the Black Falcon has killed (some of whom were his close friends). After a series of intense encounters with the Black Falcon, Gerald assembles a lynch mob and finds himself teaming up with Vince Crosby. With help from allies he forges throughout his mission, Gerald destroyed the Black Falcon.
After the events of September 11, 2016, Gerald decided to enter the world of counterterrorism.
He eventually enlisted in the United States Army, spending four years in the US Army Rangers, where he was inexplicably reunited with Derek Westbrook again. Four years later, Gerald transferred to Delta Force, while Derek ended up in the Green Berets.
He spent five years inside Delta Force before retiring after suffering injuries in a mission gone wrong. Some years later, he was recruited into the United States Cyber Command. He was later transferred to TACITUS.
===During Life: A Compilation===
In the short story titled "Absurdism vs. Christianity", Gerald is seen with Diane Mack, debating with Christian college students over the legitimacy of Christianity. He is later seen in the story "God and Humanity", where he encounters Sandy Martin, a colleague of his studying overseas in the Ivory Coast. He listens to Sandy as she reveals a rather surprising desire to follow Jesus Christ and then observes Sandy accepting Jesus later that same night. Moved by her newfound "spiritual desire", Gerald, wracked with guilt after realizing the extent of his crimes against his maker, receives Jesus as his Savior.
