Tim Gambrell

Tim Gambrell was a research scientist working at the Vault in 1969, one of the few that Anne Travers got on with. He helped her to examine the Om-Tsor, and later secretly sent her a sample of the alien drug when Anne needed it during her visit to Fang Rock. (PROSE: Beast of Fang Rock)
He later unwittingly gave Anne clues as to the baby's origins when she brought her friend Patricia Richards and the alien baby to the Vault for some tests. It was at this point that Anne worried that Tim was being corrupted by his time at the Vault, after seeing him conduct his tests on a young man with Moon Blink in his system. (PROSE: Moon Blink)
Some months later, in October, Anne sought Tim's help in uncovering behind experiments conducted on her father by the Vault. She promised she could help him leave the Vault alive. Unfortunately, the General grew wise their liaison and after a confrontation with Anne, Tim was taken away. (PROSE: The Lost Skin) Anne implied during a meeting in January 1970, that Tim was killed by the General. (PROSE: Night of the Intelligence)
