Gerald Grimple is a miserly accountant who hoards his wealth like Scrooge McDuck, refusing to spend even a cent on anything that doesn't directly benefit him. Known for his fibs that would make Pinocchio's nose stretch to the moon, he often deflects questions about his finances with tall tales of lost investments and hidden fortunes. His crumbling office is adorned with outdated ledgers, but what truly fills it is his greed, leaving everyone around him feeling as empty as a tale spun by Aesop's fox. Despite his facade of financial expertise, Gerald's heart is as cold as winter’s breath, leaving him adrift in a sea of deceit and isolation.
