When Julia reached the top of the stairs, she found herself in the year 1840. There, she learned that the man named Gerard Stiles was a seafarer and friend of the original Quentin Collins. They also learned that Gerard's real name was Ivan Miller. Gerard had first met Quentin and his son Tad Collins on a ship. Gerard and Quentin became close friends. When Quentin and Tad became lost at sea, Gerard went to Collinwood and told Quentin's wife, Samantha, that they had died. Gerard and Samantha soon married. The day of the wedding, Quentin suddenly returned.

Gerard became possessed by the head of Judah Zachary, a 17th century warlock, and told the authorities that Quentin had practised witchcraft. Gerard/Judah testified against Quentin at the trial. He also aided the help of Charles Dawson and Lamar Trask to get Quentin convicted. Barnabas learned that Gerard was possessed by the head and realized that the spirit he had been fighting was not truly Gerard, but Judah Zachary. Gerard/Judah captured the witch named Angelique and took away her powers. At Quentin's execution, Angelique came with the head and told everyone that Gerard was possessed. Gerard was even worse then his Antichrist predecessor, Judah Zachary. Gerard went on a killing streak, also deceiving people into helping him and even deceiving Daniel Collins into making him master of Collinwood! Gerard's power was even greater the Judah's power. As Gerard went on using sorcery, he seduced Daphne. This led to Quentin's recapture. Desmond Collins shot Gerard and the possession ended. Gerard died in Quentin's arms asking him for forgiveness. Quentin forgave his friend.
