By default, Gelu is not playable, but he may be enabled in custom scenarios in the map editor. 

== Story ==

His seriousness was surprising in one so young and contrasted greatly against the boisterous Crag Hack."'' - [[Yog|Yog's]] letter to the Wizards of [[Bracada]]{{-}}<sup>[[Shadow of Death Manual Page 5|SoD manual]]''</sup>

{{user commentary|
Gelu's special ability is formidable. Even so powerful that he is typically disabled in custom made maps. While you should have no reasonable difficulty using Gelu as a main hero during the single player campaign, he could also be used as a sharpshooter-upgrading-support-hero sitting in a town garrison or following your main hero.
