Gelu the Ranger is a Rampart hero.

He is not an original Restoration of Erathia hero, but was added in Armageddon's Blade and is also available in Shadow of Death.

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

Story

"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

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

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.
