Rumpus Romero

"Hacking, aiding and abetting, breaking and entering, illegally streaming anime. You know the type?"

- Romero revealing himself to Wyatt.

"See, this hush-hush cooperation... "blackmail", as you so rightly called it... letting you off 'cause you scratched my back... Any way you slice it... it's corruption. Corruption is the reason I quit the Force in the first place. Turning a blind eye to crime... There's no greater betrayal. (...) I think we both need to face the facts, Wyatt."

- Romero's last lines before arresting Wyatt.

Detective Rumpus Romeo is a major supporting character in The G Quest, being an unseen character until serving as the deuteragonist of the first half of The G Quest 3.

He was the Local County District Attorney until he quit the Force, resolving to become a private eye instead. He focused his work on unraveling the secret drug trade and arresting its ringleaders.

Personality
Romero is a no-nonsense person with a flair for cutting to the chase. Once he sets his mind to cracking a case, nothing can get between him and success. To maximize his waking hours, he started piously taking his coffee with modafinil, at length developing an addiction of which he is not necessarily ashamed; people encouraging him to kick the habit only irritates him.

At first he seems not above semi-criminal means to fight crime, as he promises to drop all the incriminating information he has on Wyatt if the latter helps him take out the online drug lord Ross U. But he later grows remorseful over lowering himself to a form of blackmail, and ultimately he makes the choice to turn Wyatt in, explaining to him that it's the right thing to do.

Ultimately, Romero is a man who lives to bring criminals to justice.
