Greg Egan, nicknamed "Dr. Bear" for his imposing size, is a brilliant and unconventional scientist best known for his work with the Tresor research team studying Eureka and the Nirvash. He's got a real talent for connecting disparate theories into something that actually makes sense—the kind of thinking that doesn't fit neatly into standard boxes.
He's still hung up on his ex-wife Mischa from Gekkostate, calling her "My little cub" and "kuma-chan" (bear in Japanese), which she doesn't exactly appreciate. In fact, his flirtation tends to make her even more tight-lipped than usual. He's got a sweet tooth and carries candy on him constantly; he once explained to Renton that it tied back to an important memory between him and Mischa.
Where Bear really made an impact was with his knowledge about the Scub Coral, the Coralians, and LFOs. He got genuinely excited when he realized the scientific data matched up almost perfectly with the Vodarac teachings of Norb—a discovery that came out during a taped meeting on the Gekko. That tape, combined with information published in Ray=Out, became crucial ammunition against Dewey's group. It helped turn public opinion and even influenced some military brass to question what was really going on.
His name is a playful reference to the science fiction writers Greg Bear and Greg Egan.
