Mappin Gilder was the accounts manager of the Archaeology department at St Oscar's University.

Biography

Mappin Gilder was hired by the Archaeology department of St Oscar's University in 2593 as their facilitator, a role which involved saving department finances and finding new sources of funding and sponsorship. He was impressed by Romolo Nusek's offer for Bernice Summerfield's services and Divson Follett insisted that she take him with her on Nusek's expedition to Stanturus Three.

Gilder, Benny and Nicholas Clyde went to Tharn to meet with Nusek and Gilder asked about the worth of every work of art he saw at the Castle of Ice and Fire. On Stanturus Three, he was put in charge of the geophysics equipment, but Mastrov disconnected the equipment in an attempt to kill Benny by making her disturb a nest of rodent creatures. Nicholas then had him taken off his team. Following the discovery of the supposed Stanturan Dragon, which was actually the Gamalian Dragon planted there by Mastrov to give Nusek a claim to the planet, Gilder returned to Dellah with Benny.

According to one account, Gilder went to Benny's office to apologise and caught Mastrov searching it, prompting her to choke him to death. This account had Irving Braxiatel acting as chairman of the Stanturan Inquiry, (PROSE: Dragons' Wrath [+]Loading...["Dragons' Wrath (novel)"]) whilst another had Gilder acting in this role and releasing Benny and Nicholas from Nusek's custody. It was him who worked out that Nicholas murdered his fellow archaeologists. (AUDIO: Dragons' Wrath [+]Loading...["Dragons' Wrath (audio story)"])

Appearance

Gilder was short and fat with lank hair and perfect fingernails. (PROSE: Dragons' Wrath [+]Loading...["Dragons' Wrath (novel)"])

Behind the scenes

Gilder takes on much of Irving Braxiatel's role in the audio adaptation of Dragons' Wrath [+]Loading...["Dragons' Wrath (novel)"], from which Braxiatel was excised.
