Description

  • Not a chimpanzee but a humanoid, 1.60 to 1.70 m, white from head to toe. His body looks inflated, not with ordinary muscle; those who saw him up close speak of an internal structure, perhaps an exoskeleton, that does not look robotic.
  • He dresses as a 1930s noir detective: English trench coat, hat trimmed with red neon, glasses that magnify the eyes. He carries a giant epic blaster in chainsaw format.

Establishments

  • The bar and the laboratory are both his; where they stand in Torreluces, and whether they share a roof, is not recorded.
  • His name is associated with Arte Corporation: anyone seeking it goes through him. In what capacity is not stated.
  • His name circulates as “Garnet” and “Garni,” but he introduces himself as Gatnik.

Open questions

  • Whether his body is the product of experimentation or he “simply was born that way.”
  • What the laboratory researches or manufactures, and whether it explains his anatomy or the reverse.
  • Whether other such hominids exist; no other White Ape appears in the records.
