[edit] History
Jeremiah Surd was a radical terrorist operating within the United States in the 1970s. Trained in biology and electronics, he threatened to expose Washington to nerve gas in 1978. Race Bannon led the team that struck Surd's compound, confronted Surd, and left him a quadriplegic.
Two decades later Surd's former colleagues would threaten the country again with the same nerve agent Surd had formerly employed. The Quest team was sent to handle this new threat and located Surd, who was completely paralyzed and being held in an insane asylum. After freeing the terrorist in order to utilize his knowledge of the chemical compound, Surd was rescued by his former colleagues and escaped with a portable Questworld operating system.
Surd would frequently assault the Quest team while they were utilizing the Questworld virtual reality system from within the computer world while his henchmen would launch a strike in the real world against either the Quest headquarters or upon some other object of importance that played into the plot of an individual episode.
At the end of the series, Jessie Bannon left Surd unable to move within Quest World as well, effectively returning him to his sentence of living his life out wheelchair bound.
