Gebu is Ranofers half brother. Although this is true, he hates having to share with Ranofer, which causes pain and etc. Yet, in chapter IV to VI Gebu is actually quite nice because of the gold he stole. This means that Gebu lacked what he wanted, and takes his anger out on Ranofer.
Gebu at first seems to respect Ranofer during the beginning of the novel, but Ranofer explains that he is mean and "Son of the Set Devil". Also, later in the book, we see that Gebu has beaten Ranofer before and that there are marks on his back.
Ranofer instinctively dislikes Gebu, his half-brother, because Gebu mistreats him and is abusive. Ranofer feels inferior and oppressed by Gebu's presence.
gebu will beat ranofer until he dies and he will not make ranofer apprentice him in the Goldsmith shop
Ranofer can tell Gebu that he knows about Gebu selling stolen copper from the tombs to the goldsmith, and that he witnessed the transaction. Ranofer can also warn Gebu that he will report the illegal activity to the authorities if Gebu does not stop his dishonest behavior.
Ranofer asked Gebu where he hid the gold that he stole from their boss, and Gebu became angry because he hadn't told Ranofer where he hid it.

Ranofer and Gebu live on the Street of the Goldworkers in the book "The Golden Goblet" by Eloise Jarvis McGraw.
in Gebu's room Ranofer finds the golden goblet in the chest, not the box, in Gebu's room, where he is forbidden to go, upstairs.
Most likely, Ranofer and Gebu and I would count Heqet and the Ancient since they helped Ranofer catch Gebu =)
to the valley of kings
He was a porter for Rekh the goldsmith. Then, later in the book he becomes Gebu's stonecutting apprentice. :) In the begginning, Ranofer was a porter for Rekh the goldsmith, then he became Gebu the stonecutter's apprentice, also his half brother, and in the end he becomes Zau's the Master goldsmith's apprentice.
Gebu allows Ranofer to work in the goldsmith shop because he sees potential in him to learn the trade and become a skilled craftsman. Additionally, Gebu recognizes Ranofer's determination and work ethic, which make him a valuable apprentice. By working in the shop, Ranofer gains valuable skills and knowledge that will benefit him in the future.
