Fredrick Albert "Fred" Gurner III is a character in Tales from Queen City: The Ballad of Sean Killian, where he appears as an antagonist for several missions. He is voiced by Greg Wilcox.
Background[]
Gurner was born in Queen City on 19th of November, 1968 and during the 1990's, he was a good friend and associate of David Henderson. Unfortunately in 2000, the pair had a falling out; Gurner went independent and eventually becoming a business rival of Henderson by 2007.
Events of The Ballad of Sean Killian[]
In 2007, Gurner and Henderson's race for the most wealthy businessman in the city is at its peak, with the pair resorting to extreme measures to ensure the other fails. Gurner is first introduced when he enters Henderson's office following the destruction of one of his buildings, demanding that Henderson owns up to the deed. Several missions later, Henderson is taking protagonist, Sean Killian to his office after hours when they are confronted at gunpoint by Gurner who kidnaps them, knocking them out and taking them to his office, where he tortures them and plans to kill them. Killian manages to get loose from his restraints before he attacks Gurner and frees Henderson. Henderson then knocks Gurner out, ties him up and takes him to a warehouse. Several days later, Henderson calls Killian and tells him to meet at the warehouse where Gurner informs them that he and Ike Blumenthal, another business rival of Henderson's, who is also participating in a race for the most richest businessman, but as a dark horse, had planned to split their success together and with the Russian mob, with whom they were both acquainted. Henderson then personally executes Gurner with a silenced pistol.
