gebu will beat ranofer until he dies and he will not make ranofer apprentice him in the Goldsmith shop
because
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 is the evil half brother of Ranofer. He beats up Ranofer and uses him as a tool to steal gold from Rekh's goldshop. He wants to now make Ranofer as his stonecutter apprentice although Ranofer has no interest in it. He destroys and crushes Ranofer's hopes and dreams because of the evil person he is. Living with Gebu must be very hard because Ranofer gets beatup, forced to do things he doesn't like, and gives him barely enough food
Ranofer and Gebu live on the Street of the Crooked Dog. Also, if you wanted to know Zau the master goldsmith lives on the street of Good Fortune.
Ranofer is a young boy with a villain older step brother Gebu who is constantly beating him violently. Ranofer is also the son of Thutra, the goldsmith that had passed away. Now Ranofer is forced to do whatever Gebu orders him to do, including working at the stonecutting shop
Ranofer instinctively dislikes Gebu, his half-brother, because Gebu mistreats him and is abusive. Ranofer feels inferior and oppressed by Gebu's presence.
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.
Gebu is mean to Ranofer because he is jealous of Ranofer's skills and talents as a goldsmith. Gebu feels inferior to Ranofer and mistreats him to assert his dominance and control. Additionally, Gebu wants to maintain his power and authority in the family, leading him to be cruel to Ranofer.
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.
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.
In the story "The Golden Goblet," Gebu reacts violently when the protagonist, Ranofer, innocently asks about his missing amulet, suspecting that Gebu may have stolen it. This question triggers Gebu's anger because he has been secretly taking valuable items from Ranofer's deceased father's tomb.

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.
Gebu is Ranofer's evil step brother who steals stuff
Most likely, Ranofer and Gebu and I would count Heqet and the Ancient since they helped Ranofer catch Gebu =)
