Gene Kerman
Gene Kerman is the flight instructor that coaches the player in the in-game tutorials. He also appears in a promotional video by Squad titled "At the Kerbal Space Center"[1]. He is one of only five official, uniquely identified Kerbals and the only one thus far depicted with light-colored hair. Gene also wears a white sweater vest and a headset. His dialog in the tutorials depicts him as patient and helpful without the vanity of his KSC colleague Wernher von Kerman.
His name may be a reference to Gene Kranz, who used to be the NASA flight director during the Gemini and Apollo Programs, or to Gemini 9, Apollo 10 and Apollo 17 astronaut Gene Cernan. He will be manning the Mission Control in 0.24[outdated][2].
His Steam Trading Card says, "Someone has to run the show."
