As a human born in poverty, he suffered an abusive childhood at the hands of an alcoholic father before murdering him upon reaching a nihilistic self-realization that he is not regarded as a person. Raised afterward by the father of his best friend Zaiqahal, Gyro became antisocial with a desire to drown the world in evil. When the Chimera Ants began plaguing the NGL, Gyro had his men fight off the insects before they ultimately fell. Though fed to the Chimera Ant Queen, his evil being an influence in her later offspring as consequence, Gyro's will and pride endured as he is reborn a Chimera Ant that refused to follow the Queen's command, with his memories completely intect. Concealing his appearance to avoid arousing panic, fully renouncing his humanity, Gyro is forced to abandon the compromised NGL and start anew elsewhere. After Meruem's death, Welfin and Bizeff seek to reunite with their leader, the latter assuming that Gyro would most likely rebuild his criminal empire in Meteor City.
