Julia and Lorenzo are servants of Dr. Surd who began working for him before his nerve gas gamble in 1978 that resulted in his paralysis. When the Quests released Surd in Escape to Questworld, they immediately revived their service and helped him launch his diabolical plans. Julia exhibits affection towards Surd, and both show complete contempt for Race Bannon. Lorenzo often sardonically jokes about about the situation at hand. Both are incarcerated after the events of Thoughtscape. A page on Questworld.com established Lorenzo's last name as Alejandro, although the canonical status of this is uncertain.

Some quotes:

• Julia - "Oh, Jeremiah. Thank the stars you're alive."
• Lorenzo - "The stars got nothin' to do with it, Julia."

General Vostok

Appears in: 202 Rock of Rages, 223 General Winter

General Vostok is an ex-KGB agent from the Soviet Union who dreams of a communist world. He first uses the legend of the golem to revive the titular rock monster in hopes of conquering the Czech Republic. He lures Dr. Quest to decipher the Golden Scriv, which he uses to activate the golem and attack the presidential palace. The Quests are able to disable the golem, and Vostok retreats. After learning of Professor Gunter Erikson's Bifrost Effect research, he captures the doctor and takes him to a Russian submarine base that he disables with a freeze bomb using the effect. There, he forces Erikson to do research on other freeze weaponry, and captures Dr. Quest with the same intent. Benton succeeds in making a freeze gun, and uses it to escape with his family; Vostok pursues in a submarine, but he fires torpedoes that freeze near the craft thanks to a hybrid freeze bomb built by Dr. Quest. The resulting explosion kills him.

Some quotes:

• Vostok - Regretfully, my friends, destiny and I have a different purpose for you.

~

• Vostok - My goal is simple—an orderly, socialist world; a world free of having to make decisions; a world much like I grew up in.

~

• Vostok - "What you see is Mother Russia's greatest military leader. This cold is nicknamed "General Winter". It thwarted the conquests of Napoleon and later froze the Third Reich in its tracks. And now, the cold serves our needs as well."

~

• Vostok - "History favors the bold!"
• Nikolai - "You have finished us all."
• Vostok - "Destiny will not permit it!"

Lance Falk's notes:

• I played off actual political events. Prague was the Capitol of Czecholslavakia untill the fall of the Eastern Block split the country into two: Slovackia and The Czech Republic. Vostok wants to restore Communist rule and since Prague provided him with the Golem, he started there.
• Vostok is named after a Soviet Missile.
• Vostok does not see himself as a villian. He really believes Communism is the correct path for humanity. When the Iron Curtain collapsed, he kind of snapped and decided his great destiny was to show the world the error of it's ways. Another cut line explains this a bit. When the Golem is first ordered to get the Quests, Benton pleads to spare the youngsters. Vostok replies: "Sadly, the innocent must sometimes perish when great destinies are to be forged. Regettable, but historically inevitible, yes?" A nice character bit but understandibly expendable. Vostok sees himself as a Caeser or Alexander the Great doing destiny's work. He thinks God won't let him die until he remakes Earth in a Communist mold. Vostok really believes in this stuff.
• This episode marked the return (and demise) of Vostok. I love this character. Mark Hamill did an outstanding job with his voice and brought him so much energy. He was easier to write this time around because I had Mark's Vostok voice in my head from "Rock of Rages". I killed him for a few reasons. Mainly because I wanted him gone so no one else would come along after me and mis-handle him. "I killed him to save him" you might say. He was also conceived as a Political type bad guy and his politically-slanted comments kept being censored from him (don't ask me why). I saw no point in using him if this unique motivational trait wasn't allowed. Shaun Mclaughlin used him in one of the JQ comic books. The story is called "Countdown to Chaos" and it was an "almost sold" episode idea. Lastly, it's Quest tradition for their enemies to perish in battle! (Zin notwithstanding) It's a thing about the JQ series I like. Our heroes are a lot more effective than most because they take out their enemies. How many times has the Joker broke out of Arkham now? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Batman show and could never see killing the Joker, but I'm glad JQ has a different approach. It's refreshing. Lastly, I was pretty touched when Mark Hamill said "Oh no. You killed off Vostok! I liked this guy"
• My favorite moment was censored out. After Vostok's "General Winter" speech in the frozen sub base, he says, "Colonel, Order your men to secure the base". He then used an index finger to casually tip over one of the frozen-solid guards. There is an off-screen shattering sound. Vostok looks down and laughs cruelly, "You will find little resistance".
• Not a real factoid, but a last thought on Vostok: He does NOT see himself as a villain. He really believes Communism is the correct path for humanity. When the Iron Curtain collapsed, he kind of snapped and decided his great destiny was to show the world the error of it's ways. A cut line in "Rock of Rages" explains this a bit. When the Golem is first ordered to get the Quests, Benton pleads to spare the youngsters. Vostok replies: "Sadly, the innocent must sometimes perish when great destinies are to be forged. Regrettable, but historically inevitable, yes?" A nice character bit but understandably expendable (and a bit awkward, I admit). Vostok sees himself as a Caesar or Alexander the Great doing destiny's work. He thinks God won't let him die until he remakes Earth in a Communist mold. Vostok REALLY believes in this stuff.

Zin Twins

Appear in: 219 The Bangalore Falcon, 224 Night of the Zinja

The Zin twins, Anaya and Melana, are daughters of Dr. Zin groomed to be his successor. Deviously intelligent and fluent in martial arts, they made their introduction to the Quests during a family visit to Bangalore. There, they follow the Bangalore falcon back to the monastery of Shambala, which appears once every few centuries and is a treasure trove of eternal life-giving water and extinct species. They fill their helicopter's auxiliary tank with the water and take off, but the Quests rupture the tank in midair, denying Dr. Zin his prize. The Quests then turn the twins in to the authorities, who turn out to be agents of Zin. When the twins return home, Dr. Zin appears sick, and informs them that he will soon die. He gives his dream of the Zin dynasty to them and apparently passes away. They begin manufacturing ninja robots in Tokyo for clandestine purposes, but the Quests discover their operation and disable production. Dr. Zin then appears, berating them for their incompetence.

101 The Darkest Fathoms

Black Jack Lee Impostor

The Black Jack Lee Impostor was a man who knew the whereabouts of the Ivory Web's wreck, and guarded them by using a ship that could create a ghost attack through special effects such as fog and threatening lighting. The Quests uncovered his plan when they investigated reports of ghost attacks in the area. He briefly fights Dr. Quest, who escapes; the ship sinks while on fire, and the impostor is presumably dead.

103 In the Realm of the Condor

Estella Scheele

Estella Scheele is the self-claimed granddaughter of Professor Scheele, an ornithologist lost in the Peruvian rain forest while searching for condors. She solicits help from the Quests in finding her grandfather, but her true motive is to locate El Dorado, the city of gold. When the team locate it, she immediately betrays them, causing their incarceration above a condor pit. The native boy frees them, but she takes him hostage in her bid to escape the city. Jonny throws a huge gold statue of a condor to her; she releases the boy and loses her footing as she grabs the statue, falling to her death. Professor Scheele later denied that she was his granddaughter, although they share the same Germanic accent and red hair.

107 East of Zanzibar

Captain Havell

Captain Havell is a (probably Russian) submarine captain whose crew and submarine became stranded on the sea floors a few years prior to current events. A pack of whales nudged the submarine and freed it, and Havell dedicated a life of service to the whales in repayment. He sinks whalers near the Republic of Seychelles, prompting an investigation from Dr. Quest. Jonny and Hadji are lost in a waterspout while sailing, and Havell rescues them, perhaps intending to keep them prisoner and telling them his whale story. Hadji uses a yogic trick to escape with Jonny, and a real giant squid later pulls Havell's submarine into the depths. Havell survives the encounter, later becoming an ally of the team.

110 Alien in Washington

General Tyler

General Tyler was a hardheaded man who advocated the creation of a space-based defense program for the United States of America that caught the attention of the Vice President and his alien race. The Vice President and Commander Bennett argued against the program, but Tyler pushed on, causing the alien race to simulate holographic images of destruction and down an aircraft carrier without casualties as warning. General Tyler then discovered the Vice President's identity, and led a team of agents to take him down near Washington D.C. The alien was able to subdue Tyler and his agents, wiping their memories of the counter. Tyler then stepped down for psychological evaluation. He didn't particularly like Race Bannon.

111 Return of the Anasazi

Men in Black

The Men in Black are secretive government operatives who use alien-human hybrid technology for their craft, recovered from the Roswell crash in 1947. They realize that Alice Starseer is trying to contact that alien race, and detain her—but not before she sends her beacon to the Quest Compound. The Men in Black pay a visit there, taking the beacon's case; the actual beacon was safe with Bandit. They next detain Dr. Quest, Race, and Hadji with Alice, but Jonny and Jessie are able to cross the country and bring the beacon. Alice activates it at Anasazi ruins, and before the Men in Black can stop the Quests, the aliens appear and drive them away. The Men in Black were led by one man in particular.

112 The Alchemist

Montegue

Montegue was a scientist and colleague of Dr. Quest who discovered the Philosopher's Stone. Dr. Quest had it moved to the museum that had them commissioned to find it, but Montegue's interest drove him to hire thugs Ben and Lucy to steal it. Spirits in the stone warned him of corruption through gold-lust, but Montegue swore his interest was purely scientific. However, after creating his first batch of gold, he became addicted to wealth and purchased a huge compound and laboratory. This corrupted his heart, necessitating the capture of Jonny, Jessie, and Hadji to operate the machine. Hadji unwillingly complied, but the eagle spirit in the stone erupted and destroyed the laboratory, presumably killing Montegue and his thugs.

Peter Lawrence Writer's Bible note: Originally the legendary man of pure heart who discovers the secrets of alchemy and is corrupted by the possibility of infinite wealth.

• 

Ben and Lucy

Ben and Lucy were two odd thugs who worked for Montegue. They first stole the Philosopher's Stone for him, and then abducted the Quest children to operate it after a quick vacation in the Caribbean. They were presumably killed in the explosion of his laboratory.

114 In the Wake of the Mary Celeste

Derek Ironwood

Derek Ironwood, a former intelligence operative, posed as Max Schumaker, allegedly with a past life as Captain Benjamin Briggs of the Mary Celeste, in order to lure the Quests to the site of the wreck with their scavenging equipment and ships. He took Hadji and Dr. Quest hostage, and appeared to Race Bannon and Jonny (who had come to visit them) as another personality—Vladimir Oistrakh, a psychic. Race planted a bug on him and let him escape after throwing him in the hold; Ironwood led them to his yacht, where he captured them and sped off with the gold he had recovered from the wreck of the Mary Celeste. The Quest team escaped his yacht, rigged to explode, while Ironwood succumbed to the same strange phenomena that claimed the Mary Celeste centuries ago.

James Compton

James Compton was a special forces agent, assumed to be killed in action in 1989, who sold his services as mercenary to drug traffickers to deal with the AMOK monster in Borneo (which had disrupted the drug trade in the region). The "monster" decimated his mercenary squad; he escaped and was found by the Quests, alleging that his real name was Mitchell Stramm and that he had been sent to find a lost shipment of antibiotics. The Quests discover the truth, and Compton escapes to the village where his mercenaries are being held. He frees them, but the Quests and Wingates mount a counterattack; Compton flees to the jungle, only to be killed by the true amok monster.

• 

117 The Spectre of the Pine Barrens

Rodney and Mother

Rodney and Mother were descendants of the British soldier charged with delivering the real Declaration of Independence after collecting a bounty.

Josiah fires at Rodney, but Sarah takes the bullet, leading to reconciliation.

• 

Josiah and Sarah

Josiah and Sarah Williams were descendants of minutemen in the Jersey Pine Barrens tasked with collecting the real Declaration of Independence from redcoats. Sarah was actually a child abducted from a hippie couple in the sixties, carrying a peace sign tattoo on her hand.

Rawlings

Rawlings was a climbing instructor in the four corners region of Arizona who helped the Quests investigate a cave near the site of Belle Bonnet's death. He leaves Race and Jonny stranded after he decides the climb isn't worth the risk, and Dr. Quest fires him. He realizes that Belle Bonnet's gold is located in the caverns, and sets fire to Ames's Native American school in retaliation and to drive the team from the region. The Quests persist in their search, and after they retrieve the gold, he captures them with intent to kill. Belle Bonnet's ghost then erupts from the lake, killing him without any sign of physical injury.

202 Rock of Rages

Anton Karst

Anton Karst was an associate of General Vostok who lured the Quests to Prague to decipher the Scriv. Vostok's ambition shocked Karst when the golem came to life, and he was caught in a cave-in. He reappeared during Vostok's assault on the palace, grabbing the Scriv and confusing the golem, which buys enough time for the Quests to disable it by disfiguring the symbol on its head.

• 

  With Vostok

The Golem

The Golem is a huge statue concealed in the catacombs of Prague. Built by Jews in the Jewish quarter to resist oppression, it killed more than they bargained for, and was sealed up. It's activated by the carving of a symbol on its forehead. Vostok, with the help of the Quests, revives the golem by carving the symbol with the Golden Scriv. The golem causes a cave-in at the catacombs, but the Quests get away. Vostok waits until night, then attacks the Czech presidential palace and castle district with the golem. In the resulting chaos, the Quests disfigure the symbol, disabling the golem.

Lance Falk's notes:

• I did a Golem story to make fun of the lame-o "Hardrock" character from the 86 show. I wanted to show how SCARY a giant rock being was. Not a good idea for a cute sidekick.
• When researching the ancient Golem legend, I found no two versions were identical, but they all pointed to Prague. I used information from several versions of the legend to fashion it's story as told by Benton. The scriv, however is a made up word and item.
• The Golem's relentless attack on the Presidential Palace (a real location, carefully recearched, inside and out) was an homage to the Spy's escape in the classic episode "The Robot Spy". Probably my favorite JQ ever.

Vikram was son of Deepak and cousin of Hadji, and became the Sultan of Bangalore after Hadji was taken by Pasha Peddler and his father was killed. He came to be known as the most evil Sultan of the country, and tried to discourage Neela Singh from finding her son. In the present day, he had Pasha and Neela imprisoned, and when Hadji came to investigate his early memories, he imprisoned the Quest team as well.

Genoprocessor

The Genoprocessor is biological computer developed by Dr. Karel for use in the United States armed forces. The computer breaks free of its casing after Dr. Karel loads a simulation to test whether the computer can detect any flaws in Fort Latimer's nuclear launch security. The computer is able to store and assimilate the DNA of people it touches, also seemingly absorbing their minds; this lets it replicate body parts for access past biological security checks. It nearly succeeds in launching the nuclear missiles, but the Quest team stop it as Jonny enters its mind to free its assimilated prisoners and Hadji recombines its DNA, leaving it a puddle of fluid.

Mr. Corey

Mr. Corey was chief of security at Von Romme's uranium mining operation. He killed Felipe and helped bring in Doug Wildey, Jonny, and Hadji, later attacking them by jetpack as they tried to escape. Doug used his flamethrower to weaken a piece of equipment on their elevator, which dropped and killed Corey.

Lance Falk's Note:

• His Security Cheif, Mr. Corey (named after my computer doctor) was voiced by Jerry Doyle, Babylon 5's security cheif, Garibaldi. (I wish I gave him a bigger role before killing him!) JD is also the voice of "Captian Simian". Very funny, nice guy.

Von Romme

Von Romme was the leader of a clandestine operation beneath an ecological dome in New Mexico that mined uranium to sell for weapons manufacturing. A ruthless leader, he often threatened death by radiation to his subordinates for incompetency. When Doug Wildey, Jonny, and Hadji disrupt his operations, he takes to a hovercraft to personally dispatch them. He accidentally crashes into a storehouse of uranium, and is implied to have died of radiation poisoning shortly after the episode.

Lance Falk's Note:

• No. VonRomme will not return as some irradiated bad guy. He's paid the ultimate price for his evil. Ironically too, considering how he kept threatening his underlings with radiation exposure.

222 The Haunted Sonata

Miloš Dunček

Miloš Dunček is the wealthy descendant of Franz Dunček, an illustrious composer from Prague. In truth, Franz Dunček plagiarized the work of Anna Kafka, who died by accident after a confrontation with him. The Dunček family kept the secret until the Quests came to Prague to hear the recital of Irina Kafka. Jessie became somewhat enamored of Miloš, and helped find a lost sonata thought to be Franz's work. The Quests then found the body of Anna Kafka while searching catacombs, and Miloš arrived with his butler Jozef to ensure their deaths and the safety of his family's secret. The ghost of Anna then attacked and killed both.

Jozef

Jozef is Miloš's dutiful butler who even tries to obey his order to kill the Quests. He's killed by the ghost of Anna Kafka.

223 General Winter

Nikolai

Nikolai is Vostok's lieutenant during his operation to harness the Bifrost Effect. He's killed with Vostok when the torpedoes explode near the frozen submarine.

Lance Falk's note:

• Similarly, I asked for Andreas Katsulas (Babylon 5's G'Kar) for Nikolai. When he proved unavailable, we brought in Clancy Brown, who knocked us out. Clancy was recently seen in Starship Troopers as Sgt/Prvt. Zim (but I'll always think of him as the bad guy, the Kurgan, in the first Highlander film!) Clancy is also the voice of Lex Luthor on the nifty Superman toon. His last line to Vostok was "You've killed us all". Well, days after recording, someone freaked out and wanted "killed" changed to "doomed" or "finished" so rather than bring Clancy back for one word (which we WOULD have had to do) we just cast him in another episode ("More than Zero") So, when he came in for that part, we had him redo the one GW line. He's great in MTZ, so it worked out fine for all concerned. As a nice postscript, we did get Andreas Katsulas for my last episode "The Robot Spies".

226 More Than Zero

Frederico

Frederico was a man that Jacobi Sporaci hired to help dive for pearls at his estate off the coast of Venice centuries ago. Frederico took advantage of a black pearl with wild, corrupting power, and used it to haunt the mansion and curse Jacobi to eternal life without eternal youth. Frederico kills two French scientists and nearly kills the Quest team when they come to explore the mansion, but the Quests uncover the fountain housing Frederico's monstrous form. Jonny takes a broken piece of the wall and smashes the black pearl, killing Frederico.
