Jeremy Morgan

Jeremy Benchwater Morgan was a scientist who in 2203 predicted the collision between Maleiva III and Morgan's World and the destruction of the former by the latter.

Life
An overall unpleasant person, Morgan was infamous for his temper and attitude, as well as for taking pleasure in destroying the careers of people less talented than him. He survived two attempted murders by his brother-in-law, and was rumoured to have driven one of his children to suicide and the other into pill addiction, and his first wife into an early grave.

Jeremy Morgan died at some point prior to 2223, and left instructions to conduct no memorial in order to deny his colleagues the satisfaction of refusing to attend. He was survived by his second wife. His former friend Gunther Beekman had at this point become his longtime antagonist.

Legacy
After he calculated the collision between Maleiva III and a rogue gas giant, the gas giant was named Morgan's World. While required by tradition anyway, it was felt that the leadership of the Academy took pleasure in naming a destructive planet after Morgan.
