Gilbert Lamb

Lamb is a supervisor and works for the Keating Memorial Pipe Company factory.

He has turbulent childhood history. He was found at age of 13 in tyre factory. Parents not identified but suspected as D-LINCs. Lamb joined the New Youth League and championed the elimination of animal preservation rights and Union City conservation laws.

Recently promoted to factory supervisor without LINC approval. The Union Security Council suspected that infiltrator has illegally amended LINC records and had Lamb under Level 3 surveillance authorised to Stephen Reich.

He has a cat, Cous-Cous and enjoys watching videos at home and likes having lunch at Belle Vue. He wears a coat made from the 10 last beavers of the world. He's fat, and rather unnice until Robert Foster offers him a travel ticket.

He is responsible for the pipe factory and the recycling factory; believing that the City is built on pipes, ducts and conduits, he is proud for providing these important elements to the society. On the other hand he considers his responsibility unbearable and his only retreat is living in his beautiful neighborhood and relaxing at home, but strives for some holiday.

He demotes Anita Einbeck for talking with Foster while working. As the Security has disabled the elevator looking for Overmann, Lamb can't go to his favorite restaurant, and would gladly accept Howard Hobbins's sandwich from Foster. When Foster fixes the elevator, Lamb is happy for it, but when Foster says it was him who fixed it, Lamb doesn't believe him, and is ungrateful.

Knowing that Lamb needs a break, Foster offers him a vacation ticket, and Lamb "rewards" him with a free tour in his factory, although he didn't know much to explain, and eventually let him to "show himself around", allowing him to access off-limit section. Later Lamb offers to help Foster and tells him to seek "special policies" from Billy Anchor; but when Anchor is asked about Lamb, he denies that they are friends.

Using Reich's ID card, Foster demoted Lamb to D-LINC status; Lamb authorised him to enter his house and feed Cous-Cous.

When Robert discovers Anita's body and asks Lamb about it, he denies any knowledge, and although admitting that he was hard on her, he has nothing to do with her death.

After Ken takes the position of LINC, he considers assigning to Lamb the position for filling the vacancy in the the sewage-grading plant.
