Artem Gero

Artem Gero is a character in Origin Stories first introduced in Killerjoy. Artem is the father of Attle Bowman and an excellent inventor.

Appearance
Artem Gero is described as having brown-blond hair and small, welcoming eyes that hide behind his glasses. He's often seen wearing a soft, yellow sweater.

Early Life
Gero has always been an excellent inventor, as has his wife Tres. At some point, their son Attle left without telling them for Sepperlin where he lived and trained with the Demaros. Artem found this out and went to Sepperlin to find his son, who was long gone. While there, after learning of what the Foundry intended to do with Jun, he gave the young lord capacitors to help him contain and control his mettle.

Sometime after this, he learned that Attle had made his way to Carver and arranged with his friend Madus Delmont for Attle to have a job at the railings. Attle was none the wiser.

Killerjoy
After Jun confronted Illum Nairo, Jun leapt out of Brandishier and plummeted to his likely death. Thankfully for him, Artem was nearby and caught him before that could happen. He spared the young lord and used him, and a technique developed by Tres, to track down Attle.

They found him in one of the buildings that he had taken part in building. They took him to the Perogian to meet with Delmont. Once there, Artem revealed his plan to have Attle take the Parcel Exams and become the Parcel to the Millenius himself. Attle intially rejects this idea, but he ends up having a very hard time saying no to his father, for the first time in his life.

Before Attle can go off to the Parcel Exams or do anything else stupid (like, oh, going after the masques at their hideout and getting himself killed perhaps?), Artem leaves the Perogian for a destination unknown.
