Starting Movement Points:

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

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

Story

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.
