Brent Gillespie was a reporter at MBS living on Macross Island in the mid 00s
In December of 2004 he tried to interview Roy Fokker over the death of Nadia Malanova and told him there were 2 other murders in 4 months and all were scientists working on the SDF-1. He suspected it could be a member of Faithful or a curse on the SDF like King Tut's Tomb annd wanted Roy's help so he could break the story and get a real job in the mainland. Roy declined and threw him out of his apartment. Brent later aired a recording by The Knight of Knives telling the RDF to stop the research on the SDF-1 (Robotech: Return To Macross: The Knight of Knives).
After night watchman Eugene Norris was attacked by a mysterious being came by calling form Zor at Panicca Import and Export on Macross Island, he reported the incident, and several days later, told his story on the MBS as reported by Brent who suggested the attack might be connected to The Knight of Knives (Robotech: Return To Macross: Haunted Houses).
Near Christmas, Roy went to his office and grilled him over what he knew of The Knight of Knives and where he got the video. Brent said it was dropped off at the station but Roy wanted to know why Brent said the Knight might be an alien. Brent said the universe has opened up to the people of Earth with the SDF-1's arrival and this story could be his ticket off the island. He said he didn't make the story up and was tired of the space topics and wanted Clayton Fortenspeil to retire from his anchor job. Suddenly, a maniac was in Macross City taking shots at people and Brent and Roy went down to it. Brent reported on the scene and the GMP tried to talk the sniper down but was fired upon. The GMP returned fire and the sniper fell out of the building but wasn't too damaged and asked Roy for orders before collapsing (Robotech: Return To Macross: Soul Survivor).
After the Sniper was taken in, he tried to get an interview but was told the Knight killed the Sniper and was excited of having an exclusive story on the Knight's capture and got to leave to go to the mainland. (Robotech: Return To Macross: Off The Screen).
