Bio:
With normal weapons, there is always the risk that they will pass into an enemy’s hands and be used by them. So, in AGE 741, Doctor Gero takes the drastic step of developing a series of Artificial Humans that possess the ability to function by themselves. This allows him to create even stronger, weaponized soldiers for the organization. The first eight of these have various problems, as demonstrated by the betrayal of Model #8 at the army’s northern stronghold, Muscle Tower, in AGE 750. Following the fall of the evil military organization at the hands of Son Goku shortly after those events, Gero developed all models from #9 onward with the sole function of killing this enemy.

Gero’s son was a high-ranking soldier in the Red Ribbon Army, but was felled by an enemy bullet at a young age. After a rare episode of sentimentality, the doctor began developing Model #16 in the image of his late child. His pride in the boy leads to him to giving Model #16 a high battle power. Not wanting to lose his son a second time on the battlefield, Gero gives him a gentle personality while finishing him up in June of AGE 766.

Upon his return home and dispatching of 17 and 18, Trunks remembers the threat of Cell should still loom in his timeline. Using the knowledge he gained from his trip to the past, Trunks travels to the location of Gero's lab. He had hoped to find the creature still developing within its tank, but Cell had already been born and ventured out into the world. He would have no choice but to wait for the genetic anomaly to come to him. While leaving, he notices 16 remains sealed in his containment unit. Hoping that he would possess the same personality as his past self, Trunks cautiously takes a chance and releases him. After a thorough examination by Bluma, the gentle giant joins Trunks in helping with the planet's reconstruction.

Notes:
Added the Capsule Corp. logo so that people wouldn't freak out at him helping with reconstruction in Trunks' timeline while bearing the Red Ribbon Army logo, but this time it's not a sticker.
