Gelgar was a young man who had brown hair that he styled in a pompadour. He had a prominent nose, and wore the traditional Survey Corps uniform.
He was very serious about his job, and believed strongly in Mike Zacharias' decisions and abilities. But when given the chance, he was also able to relax when he or his subordinates were not in danger. And like many of the Military personnel, he enjoyed drinking alcohol.
Gelgar is one of several soldiers brought by Mike Zacharias to oversee a group of potentially untrustworthy Survey Corps recruits. Before an investigation can begin, Titans appear within Wall Rose. Mike orders the group to split into four squads to warn the nearby villages and Gelgar is placed in charge of the South team.

Gelgar in the story: Gelgar is one of several soldiers brought by Mike Zacharias to oversee a group of potentially untrustworthy Survey Corps recruits. Before an investigation can begin, Titans appear within Wall Rose. Mike orders the group to split into four squads to warn the nearby villages and Gelgar is placed in charge of the South team.
How Gelgar echoes later: As Erwin Smith contemplates his role as Commander of the Survey Corps and the lies he has told his comrades, he envisions himself standing atop a mountain of corpses of the soldiers he sent to their deaths. In his mind, Gelgar is with Nanaba and Mike at the top of the corpse mountain, staring back at him. When Hange Zoë sacrifices their life to ensure their comrades' escape from the Rumbling in Odiha, Gelgar is among the souls of fallen Survey Corps to welcome them in death.
