Doctor Galliard Prunestoggle serves in an unidentified unit of the Wulfenbach infantry as a Type VIII Construct. Was captured by the Heterodyne Army during the Siege of Mechanicsburg and subsequently interrogated.

Possibly relevant outside information

The source of the Doctor's name may be from the Galliard, a "gay" or lively dance dating to the Renaissance, 15th century or earlier continuing well into the 17th century, set to triple time. The dance is made up of complicated turns and steps in sequences of 5. This points to some interesting conclusions given his deployment to a crowded urban area.

Another possibility is the typeface Galliard, which may be more likely, given that both the Foglios and Cheyenne Wright have been working in the graphic arts for their entire careers.
