Gelu the Ranger is a Rampart hero.

"Gelu had barely graduated from the Forest Guard, ready for a fight and eager to prove himself. His seriousness was surprising in one so young and contrasted greatly against the boisterous Crag Hack." - Yog's letter to the Wizards of Bracada ^{SoD manual}

Introduced in Armageddon's Blade, and appears also in Shadow of Death. Gelu is typically only available in the campaigns, unless the map-maker has enabled him in custom scenarios.

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.
