Gilmore, the lead scientist of the 00 Cyborg program, was a dutiful employee who concealed a profound distrust of Black Ghost's plans. (In the 2001 series, his serious misgivings only emerge when 005 is constructed—his superiors compel him to install an inferior component to boost revenue—and he plays a far less significant role in the creation of the others.) Once the cybernetic enhancements for the first nine 00 Cyborgs were finished, he deliberately allowed himself to be "taken hostage" by them. Since that time, he has served as the team's advisor and father figure, aiding not only in the formulation of their strategies but also in helping them navigate the subtleties of their new mechanical bodies.
