Gerard

Strategist Gerard Christoph Sotelo Dover (a.k.a. The Forklift Certified, The MF MANAGER)

“Take your time, not your life”- a saying that he adapted from a mentor some years ago

Being offered an entry-level job position, Gerard first came to Seydlar to do an internship in the logistics company Staffan Warehouse, located south of the city, which supplied chemical and medical supplies to multiple companies, one being the prominent Cronium Institute. Later on he worked in the same company for nearly 5 years until he was promoted to a depot manager deputy. But that wasn’t enough. He worked so much to ensure that he becomes a site manager, he forgot to even create a social life. Sure, he made some friend at the office and in his neighborhood. But his circle of friends only included some 5 people. Before the pandemic, Gerard had to stressfully work overtime, suddenly noticing the suspiciously increasing amount of orders coming from Cronium. Even though he can't pinpoint why, his gut feeling tells him that all of that had a major cause in the pandemic. When the outbreak happened, Gerard and a few of his friends, now becoming his co-strategist, were able to group up to try and survive, before being taken in by the Genesis. What then happens after that is up for faith to decide.
Gerard is be introverted as heck, but can and will go extroverted in situations when needed. He has the tendency to sometimes speak like the Minecraft enchantment table, but in a way that people can still decipher it. He learns quickly, applying past work experiences to current situations, and is able to “connect dots”. Kindness, Hope, Teamwork, and Humility are important words that Gerard goes by often, and is a staple of his virtues. Despite having a low social life, he has maintained average diplomacy skills. He is driven by the the desire to create a safe haven for the people in a zombie infested word. Perfectionist (in a workaholic way), Hesitant, Impatient
