Gurathin

"Gurathin sighed and rubbed his face and looked off into the distance, like he regretted all his life choices that had led to him standing here right now." (Fugitive Telemetry)

Overview
Dr. Gurathin is a scientist on the PreservationAux survey team. He is an augmented human with an implanted feed interface. His skills include data analysis, some hardware diagnostic and modification (e.g. modifying small drones to add scanning capability), and computer system analysis.

At first, Gurathin is the least accepting of Murderbot among the PreservationAux survey team members. He was suspicious enough of Murderbot’s behavior to examine its logs and discovered Murderbot’s hacked governor module (and violent history) in the process. He purposefully does things to aggravate or otherwise upset Murderbot, such as questioning it about its feelings or behaviors. ("So you don't have a governor module, but we could punish you by looking at you.") As of later novellas, Gurathin's opinion of Murderbot appears more positive as he has assisted Murderbot in various tasks and shows some level of concern for it.

Unlike the other team members, Gurathin was not born in the Preservation Alliance, but immigrated later.

Personality
He is naturally more reserved and pessimistic than most of the other team members. In Fugitive Telemetry, Murderbot comments that Gurathin doesn't have any other human friends (aside from those in PreservationAux).

Physical Appearance
Not much is known about Gurathin's physical appearance, except that it is presumed he has a lighter skin complexion (since he turned red when Murderbot grabbed his neck). Murderbot describes him as having a "hard mouth" and a "big brow."
