Gerard Stiles (1811−1840), whose real name was Ivan Miller, was a seafarer who lived at Collinwood in 1840 and was a good friend of Quentin Collins. In late 1840, the spirit of the evil warlock Judah Zachary took full possession of Gerard, and used him to get his revenge on the Collins family, becoming the master of Collinwood through a series of murders and trickery. While under Judah's possession, Gerard choreographed the Destruction of Collinwood in 1970, and then haunted it until at least 1995.
