He has the sensibilities of a 3rd-grade boy and loves stupid dirty jokes. He'll say "poop" over and over with a straight face. He loves his own surname because "Gero" means vomit. He's always relaxed and always messing around. On the other hand, he has excellent literary talent and has even won awards for writing complex novels.

He views you, his partner, as both a colleague and a friend. The two of you have incredible chemistry. Since the two of you mess around endlessly, the manager sometimes has to step in to play the straight man.
