- Gender Voice Actor Appearances Ronald Taylor is Jacob's father and Acting Captain of the MSV Hugo Gernsback. Ronald served as First Officer on the Hugo Gernsback, which crashed into 2175 Aeia in 2175. Captain Harris Fairchild was killed in the crash, and following emergency protocols, Ronald was promoted to acting Captain.
- As it turned out, The Hugo Gernsback crash-landed on the planet 2175 Aeia. Ronald Taylor became the new acting captain following the death of his predecessor. Unfortunately, Ronald was left in a bad situation, as among other things the food on the island was toxic and nothing the crew did could purify it. Realizing that any who ate the toxic food would go insane, Ronald and the other officers decided to reserve the food rations on the ship for themselves, forcing the other crewmen to eat the planet's toxic food. Unsurprisingly, many of the crew members rioted in response, forcing Ronald to become a psuedo-dicator over the surviving crew.

| - Ronald Taylor ist der Vater von Shepards Squadmitglied Jacob Taylor. Er galt seit dem Verschwinden der MSV Hugo Gernsback für zehn Jahre als verschollen.
- Gender Voice Actor Appearances Ronald Taylor is Jacob's father and Acting Captain of the MSV Hugo Gernsback. Ronald served as First Officer on the Hugo Gernsback, which crashed into 2175 Aeia in 2175. Captain Harris Fairchild was killed in the crash, and following emergency protocols, Ronald was promoted to acting Captain. Upon assessment of the ship, however, the distress beacon was discovered to be damaged, and would take some time to repair---far longer than the time it would take for the surviving crew members to survive on the ship's food supplies. An analysis of the local flora revealed that the food on the planet was toxic, and could cause neural decay if ingested. Initially, Ronald Taylor decided to save the ship's food stores for himself and the remaining officers, implementing harsh but necessary rules in order to ensure that at least someone would remain in full control of their faculties for the beacon to be repaired. As the days went by, however, Ronald began to get used to life on the planet, living like a king, going so far as to assign the women to himself and his officers as pets. Thus, when the beacon was finally repaired around a year after the crash, Ronald, unwilling to answer for his actions, refused to activate it, believing that it was best that they disappear off the face of the galaxy. When one of his officers started feeling remorse for their actions, Ronald turned his security mechs on him. Either from paranoia or in self-defense, Ronald eventually killed all the other officers within the same week, leaving him the only one with food from the ship's stores and in full control of the security mechs. Ronald exiled or killed most of the men after the decay lowered inhibitions, making them resistant to Taylor's authority and increasingly violent. Over the next seven years, Ronald stretched out the food supplies by dining for one, with all the power and comfort he could want. That all changed when the exiled men returned. These hunters, as they were now called, adapted to the planet and eventually became feral. They began waging war with Ronald's mechs, stealing guns and killing any of the surviving women who left Ronald's camp. As the war with the hunters began putting pressure on Ronald's security, Ronald realized the only way out alive was to be rescued. He set off the beacon remotely and thought up a weak story to absolve himself of guilt. In 2185, the Normandy SR-2 comes to investigate the distress beacon from the Gernsback. After landing, Commander Shepard's team is attacked by the exiled hunters and Ronald's security mechs. After fighting through them all, Jacob confronts his father, who is shocked to see him. Jacob questions his decisions, and accuses him of doing unspeakable things to his crew so he could live in a "juvenile fantasy." Ronald tries to justify his inhumane actions but Jacob is not convinced. Ronald's fate is up to Shepard. Shepard can decide to turn him over to the Alliance courts, leave him to the mercy of his degenerated crew on Aeia, or give him a pistol to kill himself. In any event, Jacob realizes that Ronald is no longer the father he knew.
- As it turned out, The Hugo Gernsback crash-landed on the planet 2175 Aeia. Ronald Taylor became the new acting captain following the death of his predecessor. Unfortunately, Ronald was left in a bad situation, as among other things the food on the island was toxic and nothing the crew did could purify it. Realizing that any who ate the toxic food would go insane, Ronald and the other officers decided to reserve the food rations on the ship for themselves, forcing the other crewmen to eat the planet's toxic food. Unsurprisingly, many of the crew members rioted in response, forcing Ronald to become a psuedo-dicator over the surviving crew. When his fellow officers also became rebellious and/or outlived their usefulness, Ronald killed them as well. Eventually after a time The Hugo Gernsback's crew developed a means by which to send a distress call for help, but Ronald deliberately chose not to do this, as he very quickly found that he enjoyed being in a depraved sexual fantasy and position of power. So it was that he did not send out a distress call until the surviving crewmen eventually became so feral and violent that he could no longer control them. The distress call he sent out was intercepted by none other than his son Jacob Taylor, who unknowingly first learned of it from his Cerberus colleague Miranda Lawson. Jacob, alongside his new commanding officer Shepard, went to 2175 Aeia where they learned of what had transpired. A horrified and disgusted Jacob promptly disowned his father and showed nothing but contempt for him afterwards. Ronald's ultimate fate is up to Shepard. Paragon players will advocate bringing in the Alliance to put him under arrest. Neutral players will go for "poetic justice" and leave Ronald at the mercy of his now utterly feral crew (who waste no time killing him), and finally Renegade players will convince Jacob to kill his own father, in which case Jacob won't kill him himself, but instead give him a half-charged pistol with which Ronald uses to shoot himself. No matter what decision is made, Jacob will refuse to even acknowledge his father as the man he once knew and loved.
