Ok how the hell did Gears end up with Iceberg of all people though the little man's a vile gremlin, did they see eachother and think "I can fix him"?
This is something a friend and I have discussed quite a bit, and we believe that Gears actually has a long history of sleeping with his assistants long before he was assigned Iceberg. Given that he's dedicated his life to the Foundation, sleeping with his assistants is really the only way he knows how to meet people. Iceberg saw dating Gears as a good opportunity to boost his career, but it actually ended up holding him back because Gears obviously wants to keep his boyfriend around.
It's a bit of a messed up situation where Iceberg is the more openly cruel partner but Gears is the one with all of the power in the relationship. And while I do believe Gears is someone with good intentions most of the time he does still abuse his power in order to keep sleeping with his assistants and he does drive iceberg to suicide. Take that how you will
