He is the tenth Boss of the Bertesca Famiglia, an allied Famiglia to the Vongola since the times of both Famiglias' respective first generations, and is in possession of the Vongola Snow Ring.

Appearance

Gelaro is a tall teenager with light-turqoise colored spiky hair. He wears white winter jacket with dark grey suit with orange necktie beneath, white pants, a pair of white gloves, white earmuffs, and long dark brown boots.

Personality

For the most part of the game, he is usually shown to be calm and cool-headed. Due to years of isolation at Catafalco Island and harsh persecution during his childhood, it's quite hard for him to interact with people outside the residents of the island, speaking with others in cold demeanor. He take his position as Bertesca boss seriously and always thought of his Family's first above others. However, behind all those traits, deep inside he was actually feeling bound by his duty as Bertesca Boss, hating the fact that he cannot choose his own path as his purpose to live had already been decided since even before he was born and longing for freedom. His desire for freedom making him easy to be manipulated by Parvento, and showed his fiercer side of him to the point where he has no qualms to sacrifice several people in the process.

Plot Overview

Fate of Heat III: Yuki no Shugosha Raishuu!

Prologue

Cattaract di Neve

Gelaro using Cataratta di Neve to frozen the Vongola Rings

Before the Choice Battle, while Tsuna is training with Basil and Reborn, Gelaro appears before them, introducing himself as Vongola Snow Guardian and the tenth Boss of Bertesca Famiglia. At first, Tsuna, Reborn, and Basil don't believe him until he shows them his Snow Vongola Ring and Snow Flame. He then freezes the Vongola Rings with his power and told Tsuna before he left to come to Catafalco Island if he wished the Vongola Rings to be unfrozen.

Chapter 1-6

After Tsuna, Reborn, and Basil defeated Grandi and destroyed the Sky Crystal at the Sky Temple, Gelaro is seen in front of spikes of ice as the orange colored spike shattered, commenting that it has began. At this time it's revealed that his reason for freezing the Vongola Rings seems to be for Tsuna and his Guardians to unfreeze their Vongola Ring, and, in the process, deactivate the 7 Crystals scattered throughout his island. Every stone that is deactivated will break the ice spike of the same flame type that seals a mysterious being sealed within them. For most part of the game, he stayed within the frozen room and commented each time the crystal started to break.

Chapter 7

He once again confronted Tsuna and his Guardians, shortly after Chrome destroyed the last crystal that sealed the mysterious being, which later Banchiza revealed to be Parvento. He briefly spoke to Tsuna and his Guardians about his true plan, but retreated to make sure that Parvento is freed. At Bertesca mansion, he confronted Tsuna and his Guardians again who intended to prevent Parvento's revival. He was defeated, but able to buy enough time until Parvento completely freed from his seal. At this time, it was revealed that his real flame is Sky Flame, while the Snow Flame and the Vongola Snow Rings were just clever camouflages. He then revealed his and his Famgilia's past and his reason for challenging Vongola. After hearing this, Tsuna tried to explained that the truth behind Bertesca Famiglia's isolation, but Gelaro refused to believe this and went to Parvento's place while Tsuna and his Guardians returned to the Vongola Ship to arrange plans.

At the underground room where Parvento was frozen, Gelaro demanded Parvento to wipe out Vongola, only to be attacked by him. Parvento then revealed the entire truth, and that he has been lying to him and his Famiglia all this time. Gelaro fought against him, but immediately defeated.

Later, Tsuna and his Guardians found him lying unconscious and injured on the corridor to Parvento's room. As ordered by Tsuna, Ryohei healed him with his Sun Flames. Immediately recovered, Gelaro apologized to Tsuna for not believing him and wishes to defeat Parvento together.

After defeating Parvento, Parvento intended to kill all people in entire island by exploding himself, but Gelaro and Tsuna were able to prevent this by using Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition together, freezing the explosion. Afterwards, Gelaro's Vongola Snow Ring shattered as it already reached its limit. Once again, Gelaro properly apologized to Vongola Famiglia, to which Tsuna immediately accepted.

Epilogue

Seeing that Gelaro still felt guilty and down, Tsuna invited him and his Famiglia to their party at their Vongola Ship to celebrate their victory. Expressing his gratitude, Gelaro swore that from then on the Bertesca Famiglia would always support the Vongola, thus becoming their ally once again. Tsuna then asked what would they do next, since Parvento had been defeated. Gelaro finally decided that he and his Famiglia would still stay at the island to protect the villagers, but promised that they wouldn't live in isolation like they used to be and that they would visit the Vongola again.

Most of Gelaro's powers are drawn from his Vongola Snow Ring. He use staff as his main weapon for hand-to-hand combat. The staff could be retracted and he always carries it with him behind his jacket.
