Gizzo

Gizzo is one of the four original members of the Ripper Boys. Although Gizzo takes part in the shows, he is mostly known for his profession in cooking. Being a chef, Gizzo regularly cooks feasts for his fellow Rippers, refusing to let anyone go home with an empty stomach. Gizzo has an exceptionally deep voice, which can appear to be a little unsettling to those who don't expect it to hear it, therefore he prefers to remain relatively silent, especially around strangers. This often brings the misinterpretation that Gizzo is shy, however this is definitely not the case once you get to know him more personally.

Background
Gizzo originates from the snowy, mountainous regions, his thick coat of fur protecting him from the harsh winds and cold weather. In his younger years, Gizzo was visualized as a monster of sorts by the locals, who referred to him as Wolfsbane. It was believed that Gizzo was a werewolf with poisonous spines located beneath his fur, causing harm to anyone who would dare to touch him. Despite the myths that were told about Gizzo, barely any of them spoke of truth. Gizzo did not have any poisonous spines, neither was he a werewolf. In spite of these tales, however, Gizzo was still forced to live alone for the majority of his early life, completely misunderstood.

One of Gizzo's favourite pass times is exploring in the mountains, however, it is a dangerous activity, and he has found himself in some real sticky situations before, especially when he was just a rookie mountaineer. Gizzo first learned how to cook back at home in the mountains, preparing meals whilst he was travelling, mostly for the sake of convenience. As Gizzo grew older, his skills had only begun perfecting further as he taught himself more about cooking, and eventually strived to become a chef, taking a new direction in his life.

In an attempt to change the way others viewed him, Gizzo would regularly leave food offerings for locals, dropping them outside each of the houses late at night, before silently returning home. His actions were eventually noticed, and Gizzo was no longer viewed as a monster by many of the people. Myths would continue to be told, however those who saw different in Gizzo would grow to become good friends with him, trading supplies and eventually guiding Gizzo to the city, where he could follow his dreams of becoming a chef.
