Gary Holstein[note] is one of the main characters in Nightfall.

Biography[]

Gary first appeared alongside Kate while watching Hades, Gary: One murder committed with no trace of evidence left behind, and now a mysterious rocket landing in broad daylight that only the two of us seem to notice, and we don’t even know if this is a homicide case yet. He later disguised as a character from Pokémon at Halloween and kidnaps Vriska and the beta kids for interrogation.

Personality and Traits[]

Gary is a spy who is obsessed with uncovering aliens. As luck would have it, he happens across one when he discovers Vriska. He tends to be a bumbling idiot, however, he tends to have good instincts, particularly for controversial matters.

Gary grew up dirt poor, with no advantages or resources given to him, but he still manages to be outgoing and optimistic.

Relationships[]

Kate Williams[]

While Gary is currently only Kate's coworker, Neon has confirmed that in the future they will become a couple.
