Appearance

A scar marks the left side of Terry Gilteo's face, and his eyes sit in shadow beneath an unusual yellow kangaroo-shaped hat fitted with headphones. His hair is a brownish black, framing a short beard and mustache, and he is frequently shown with a cigarette. Over a green jacket he throws a bluish-gray cloak, pairing it with red trousers spotted in black, brown gloves, and brown shoes. The anime drops the facial scar.

Personality

Standing with the Revolutionary Army means standing against the World Government, and Terry Gilteo embraces that fight boldly, ready to gamble his life against one of the planet's mightiest powers. His placement in charge of headquarters intelligence speaks to how dependable he is, since such a sensitive post demands someone the leadership can rely on completely.

History

Terry Gilteo's loyalty runs to Monkey D. Dragon, the army's Supreme Commander, who keeps him near and entrusts him with gathering information. He was on hand earlier when Sabo raised the subject of traveling to Loguetown. Following the Enies Lobby events, as officers celebrated their success at Centaurea, Dragon approached Terry Gilteo while he sorted bounty posters and jotted notes on the Straw Hats. Asked who was pictured, he identified Monkey D. Luffy and recounted the pirate's deeds since toppling Crocodile and stirring chaos at Enies Lobby. Just as he started to mention Luffy's tie to Garp, he found that Dragon, never letting on that Luffy was his own son, had already wandered off for fresh air.
