Gary, the Cryptofascist is a character in Disco Elysium.
Background[ | ]
An impoverished local Revacholian, who seeks solace in fascism to explain away his lot in life and lack of prospects. Gary is quick to run his mouth, using racial slurs on non-Occidental people he meets, and even quicker to earn the ire of local leftists - most importantly the Dockworkers' Union, whose members regard Gary as little more than a "weasel", though not an entirely harmless one.
Gary is a close friend of Morell, the Cryptozoologist, and Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife, who stay with him whenever they need to visit Martinaise, such as during cryptid expeditions. His attitude is rubbing off on the elderly pair somewhat and produces a devastating mix when it touches their cryptozoological pursuits.
He is also an opportunist. A friend from CS Municipal gave him a master key, allowing Gary to use the Whirling's trash compactor to throw away his garbage and save on disposal services. Gary used this access to throw away the hanged man's clothes from the crime scene, after helping himself to his cuirass - disappearing into Land's End together with Morell on another cryptid excursion.
Interactions[ | ]
- Gary can be found at Land's End, northwest of the Feld building with Morell, the Cryptozoologist starting on Day 3. They will later be found at the Whirling-in-Rags if Harry convinced Morell to go back to Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife.
- If the Yellow-Man Mug was collected, examined, and matched to the collection at his apartment, Harry is able to press him until he admits who put the clothes in the trash
- Gary can be intimidated if Harry agreed to open apartment door for Evrart. This will give a +2 to the optional Composure check.
- It can be discovered that Gary is wearing one of the missing armour pieces. To get it from him, Harry must pass a passive perception check to hear the Fairweather T-500 Cuirass hidden under his shirt, then an active Composure check to get him to confess to stealing it. Once he leaves the Whirling-in-Rags, the cuirass will become inaccessible if it hasn't already been taken from him.
- If Harry completes the Get topping pie from Gary task, he will be rewarded with the Deluxe Topping Pie.
