Introduction:
Gerome start out as a wyvern rider just like his mother, Cherche. As a son of hers, he inherited large amount of physical attack but also really low resistance. However, all is not lost as he can access plenty of useful skills, many in the DLC, to help compensate for his obvious weaknesses. His weakness include, arrows, flying focused weapons, magic (especially wind magic), and dragon. It takes the majority of his skills slots to address all of these weaknesses. He just seem to be best suited as a wyvern lord, though being a masked hero also seem to be a cool idea. 

Inheritance:
Beyond all else, Aegis is a necessity for Germone due to his low resistance. Therefore any potential father with a  cavalier line are preferred, hence Frederick, Stahl or Ricken. This is actually the only skill worth passing on from the father's perspective. Chreche has exclusive troubadour line so you can pass on support+ as an option for Gerome.

Skills:
Most of the skills are set out to minimize the weakness that Gerome will suffer as a wyvern lord. First from the father's side he could inherit Aegis which will halve all tomes and arrows which are the bulk of his weaknesses. Unfortunately Aegis is dependent on the skill stat which is also quite low for a wyvern lord, you can activate it at around 40% of the time when most other character can have it at least around 50% of the time. The two next skills are from the DLC episodes, Iote's shield and resistance+10. Iote's Shield neutralizes all the flying type weaknesses, and resistance +10 further moderates his low resistance. Swordbreaker is quite effective at reducing threat of dragon weakness since most dragon slaying weapons are swords. Gerome is lucky enough to have two recovery skill from his base classes, Renewal and Sol. Generally speaking Sol is more preferable, but in Gerome's case his low skill actually hinders healing than aid it. Renewal actually seems to be more effective given its consistency regardless of the skill stat.

Conclusion:
Gerome is an absolute powerhouse as a physical attacker, and perhaps the most suited character as a wyvern lord. Most of his skills will be geared towards minimizing his weakness of flying, dragon and just awful low resistance. Aegis is recommended to get through the father, and the a few of the skills are from the DLC. His comparative low skill is upsetting for Aegis but is still necessary. Renewal might work better due to the same reason.
