**Gerry**, also referred to as **GerBear**, (and mistakenly as **Jerry** or **Gary**, not to be confused with the real Jerry and Gary) was an Elite Minion who served Draximoore and the League of (Mostly) Villains. Gerry was a unionized member of Organized Villainy and had aspirations to one day become a full-fledged villain himself. After the events of A Heart of Sorrowful Power, he became brosband to Raz Rakoten Mauz. The two made great profits in the Organized Villainy business before moving to Mechanus, where Raz became a warforged and Gerry joined as a cyborg. Gerry now aids Raz as Deputy Mechanic for Naus Araumycos. While self-admittedly nowhere close to Raz in skill, Gerry is still a very proficient mechanic and inventor.

## A Heart of Sorrowful Power

### Working for Draximoore

Gerry is initially encountered as a Minion to the villain Draximoore and helped guard his secret base in the Crest Ruins. Confusion arises over Gerry's name and that of earlier encountered Minions named Jerry and Gary, with their names getting mixed up. Gerry attacks The Party when they infiltrate the compound, but surrenders when Draximoore is defeated. Doran Millicent attempted to impress Gerry into working as his squire, but Gerry managed to escape when The Party fell into a minor argument over logistics.

### League of (Mostly) Villains

Gerry is later revealed to be working with the League of (Mostly) Villains, having been reassigned since Draximoore's defeat. He has been promoted to a Minion Captain and leads the League's personal minion detail. Unlike the other significant members of the League, Gerry does not seem to harbor a significant vendetta against The Party and instead is there to further his career. Gerry helps orchestrate the dognapping of Big Doggo and his holding in the Harken Forest Cave. After their camp is stormed by The Party, Gerry escapes with the other villains on their flying crystal.

When The Party later attacks the Fortress of Introversion, Gerry is tasked with guarding the red power crystal. He does a decent job of holding off Raz Rakoten Mauz, even authorizing his Minions to use the special "aiming" tactic, but is eventually overpowered. However, their struggle over a magic fire crystal causes blasts which bring Raz and Gerry to the same amount of health and they subsequently have a "bro moment" where they come to an understanding. Gerry recognizes that the League is defeated and offers to help out Raz for the time being as a good bro would. Raz affectionally calls Gerry "GerBear", which brings an end to the misconceptions around his name. Unfortunately Gerry is knocked out by a stray blast from Luna Starleaf before he can help.

### Working with Raz

Being bros, Raz brings Gerry's unconscious body back to Hammerfast and has him patched up. Gerry agrees to help "Razzy" with his inventions. Gerry also reveals his father was a construction worker and wanted his son to follow in this path, but Gerry ran away to take up a job in villainy. Raz and Gerry bond over their fathers both wanting them to lead different lives. Afterwards Gerry builds the carapace for the Hammerlock Cannon using Raz's blueprints and proposes the idea of selling them to the villain organization, potentially getting him the rank of real villain. He also mentions to have heard of Robbie Rotten.

### The Broposal

Raz and Gerry continue to deepen their broship while working together on various projects. The two spend time creating "boom dust" and later design a "stun-pike". When Raz is accepted into the Hammer Monastery by virtue of the Hammerlock Cannon, Gerry is there to congratulate him and encourages Raz to follow his dreams. As the time nears towards a final confrontation with Rob Boss, Gerry reaffirms his commitment to the broship (as any good bro would), although he does not actively join Raz on adventurers and focuses on his own career. When The Party's lodging is attacked by Dragonslayers, Raz is quick to save Gerry first and throws him out a window onto a mattress to avoid the sleeping gas.

Before Raz departs for the Battle of Dunmer-Lake, he promises Gerry that if they return he will bropose. Raz also acquires a ring from *Gems of Rarity* for this purpose. Raz's ability to bropose, however, is cut short when Rob Boss possesses the body of Archibald and attempts to activate The Colossus following his apparent defeat. Raz hurriedly departs with the rest of The Party, intent on stopping Rob Boss--for the good of Nerath--but most importantly for his best bro.

### Bro and Brosband

In the epilogue of AHOSP, Raz and Gerry are seen becoming bro and brosband in a ceremony officiated by Kieth Hamarhaast and attended by The Party. This takes place a short while after defeat of The Colossus, implying that Raz finally had his chance to bropose. An enthusiastic member of the crowd cheers them on, implied to perhaps be The Harlequin Tale-Teller in disguise.

## The Psion's Night

### 30 Years Later

Gerry is still best bros with Raz after his transformation into a warforged. Not one to leave his bro behind, Raz helps Gerry become a badass cyborg. Notably Gerry's right arm became a cannon that functions similar to the Hammerlock Cannon, their first invention together. By this time the two have been happily living in Mechanus, after selling their inventions to Organized Villainy and making a fortune.

Although life in Mechanus was relatively normal during The Psion's Night, Gerry apparently still wished for a vacation. When Vivian Estrella arrived and requested Raz's aid for the creation of Naus Araumycos, Gerry was happily to oblige and accompanied Raz to the new location. There he took the title of Deputy Mechanic and helped in the process of transforming Araumycos into a spacefaring vessel.
