Dr. Gottfried Ross
Dr. Gottfried Ross is a paleontologist and former Black Ghost scientist best known for his role in the "Deinonychus" chapter. He's a crucial figure across multiple adaptations, largely because of how he gets manipulated during a vulnerable moment—his despair becomes the opening Black Ghost needs to pull him back in and use him to help with their revival plans.
The core of his character centers on this tragedy: a man broken down enough to be exploited, turned into a tool for the very organization he'd escaped from. It's a recurring element that defines him no matter which version of the story you're looking at.
