Ed Ganter

Ed Gantner worked for a US agency which had previously recruited MacGyver for various operations. When an explosion destroyed the KIVA high classified underground research facility in Bannon New Mexico, leaving at least 20 people unaccounted for, including the highly respected scientists Dr. Carl Steubens and Dr.Sidney Marlowe, Gantner was sent to offer MacGyver the rescue mission describing the odds of success, on a scale of 1 to 10 as minus 3.

Despite the odds MacGyver accepted the mission and Gantner accompanied MacGyver to the lab where he remained on the first level with Charlie Burke and Andy Colson as MacGyver made his way down to the two scientists.
