Gerald Brom
Gothic fantasy artist who illustrated Doom II cover art — referenced on Lu Hsun Gates.
Gerald Brom (born 9 March 1965) is a gothic fantasy artist whose work includes the iconic Doom II: Hell on Earth cover art — alongside role-playing games, Magic: The Gathering, and titles such as Heretic and Diablo II.
On Lu Hsun Gates (2141) he appears on the featured personnel roster as a real-world easter-egg figure — the same pattern as Tim Willits or Don Ivan Punchatz.
Mercury-era dossier text is stub; full DATAPAD content is TBD on the Part One UAC Personnel page.

Gothic fantasy, concept art, collectable card games, tabletop. On Lu Hsun Gates in '41 I'm on the featured roster — real-world nod, not a Mars employee.

The cover art speaks louder than any PDA.
