Gérard is a singular heroic figure, distinguished by his peripheral lifestyle, his dissenting convictions, and his pivotal role in the resurgence of the Drunken Pirates. Characterized by his formidable stature, his truck, and his loyal pigeon, Gérard stands as the ultimate counter-model to the established order, systematically challenging institutional constraints and ecological mandates.
Gérard was raised in an environment defined by marginality and a deep-seated defiance toward authority. As the son of an alcoholic, anti-environmentalist truck driver, he inherited his core convictions alongside a profound affinity for the open road, alcohol, and tobacco. He resides exclusively within his truck, an entity he considers both his sanctuary and his primary defensive bastion against ecological operatives.
Gérard dedicates his existence to two primary pursuits: driving and demonstrating the planar nature of the world. His central objective is to locate the "world’s end," a task he views as a personal mission. Notably, even before uncovering the true nature of Dycit, he possessed the extraordinary vision that our perceived "Earth" was merely a single flat face. Fiercely opposed to modern ecological narratives, he actively promotes the utilization of fossil fuels and the deconstruction of climate discourses, perceiving such rhetoric as sophisticated tools of manipulation designed to dominate the populace. This crusade has led him to confront various adversaries, including:
Alongside his truck, Gérard maintains a unique bond with a loyal pigeon that accompanies his every transit. While steadfast, the avian companion occasionally causes logistical inconveniences (specifically by defiling the exterior of the vehicle) though this has never weakened their mutual allegiance.
Gérard’s trajectory shifted irrevocably upon his encounter with the Drunken Pirates. While he was engaged in disposing of biological waste externally (due to a lack of capacity in his storage bottles) he was approached by the notoriously intoxicated group. Initial hostility was replaced by reverence when the Drunken Pirates discovered that Gérard possessed the Universal Key of Trucks, a mythic artifact identifying the Chosen One according to their ancient prophecies. This meeting, while appearing coincidental, in fact reflects Gérard’s legendary gravity, which naturally draws the brotherhood to him.
Recognized as the direct descendant of the Drunken Pirates' founder, Gérard was immediately proclaimed their new Sovereign. He subsequently adopted rum as his primary fuel and became the undisputed leader of the faction. However, due to the historical fragmentation of the brotherhood, many scattered legions on various faces remain unaware of his ascension. Across numerous regions of Dycit, vast groups of Drunken Pirates have waited for generations for the main crew to reunite with them.
Gérard embodies a radical rejection of contemporary norms, possessing the clarity to see through the Green Order’s psychological operations. He is regarded by many as a symbol of absolute freedom. His quest for truth, his systematic opposition to authority, and his status within the Drunken Pirates afford him a major role in the geopolitical dynamics of the interfacial world.
