| ~ Gerald Wintergreen mocking Inspector Thursday. |
Alderman Gerald Wintergreen is a supporting antagonist in Series 2 of Endeavour, the prequel series to Inspector Morse. He is one of the three main culprits responsible for the tragedy in Blenheim Vale (alongside his two partners in crime, Clive Deare and Josiah Landesman).
He was Oxford's alderman with fame as well as publicity, but deep down he was a corrupt and egotistical official, as well as a pedophile and child rapist responsible for the tragedy of Blenheim Vale.
He was portrayed by Gordon Kennedy.
Biography[]
Past[]
Ten years before the story began, Wintergreen was appointed to be the governor of Blenheim Vale school for wayward boys, and pretended to be an idealistic and nice person. Deep down, however, he and his colleague, Josiah Landesman, were leader of a group of pedophile criminal ring.
With the assistance of Dr. Jasper Fairbridge, Wintergreen and Landesman took at least six young boys (including DS Peter Jakes, nicknamed "Small Pete") to the hotel, where they abused them and raped them. In addition to the boys, Wintergreen also took interest upon Fairbridge's daughter, Angela Fairbridge, since he was no longer satisfied with only raping boys of Blenhelm Vale. After being raped, Angela was brainwashed by her father into believing all it was a nightmare.
Fed up by such atrocity, Peter "Big Pete" Williams led the other boys to set Wintergreen's car on fire. Following this, the boys were captured by Deare and were heavily abused until they were forced to give Big Pete in.
After that, Wintergreen and his accomplices murdered Big Pete and buried his body underground. Upon Big Pete disappeared, the remaining boys made a code together that one day if something happened to one of them, they would ensembled and made a secret meetings.
Present[]
One of the boys, George Aldrich, was later sentenced to the prison. Sometimes before Aldrich was expired from imprisonment, a journalist named Eric Patterson reached him for the investigation and expose of Blenheim Vale atrocities. However, after an interview from Patterson during a charity fair, Wintergreen and Landesman found this out. They sent Deare and his men to murder Patterson and faked it to be an accident, whilst Aldrich was also murdered by Deare and his men not long after he escaped from jail.
During the investigation set by Thrusday and Morse, Wintergreen tried to hide everything from them and was displeased when Morse were asking about the past of Blenhelm Vale. He even threatened Thursday and claimed all he tried to do was to keep his good names. Nevertheless, during a casual time of Wintergreen reading the news, Angela (who had became his secretary) remembered her past after seeing headline news about Aldrich's "drowning". She later murdered Wintergreen to avenge herself and every other victims.
