Oh lord Ferdi's conversation with Mestionora was terrifying. Every word he said, ever condition he verified and validated, was another nail in Gervasio coffin. How did Gervasio not guess that Ferdi was up to something during that entire conversation.
Though if I am honest I am happy Gervasio was so dumb, as Ferdinand pointed out, he'll probably make them wish they were dead.
He did spend his time in Lanzenave as one of only two people capable of keeping the capital city in existence, so Gervasio probably never had to worry about someone killing him, or even interfering with his job. That probably isolated him to a certain degree from the worst parts of Lanzenave's internal politics, even if Lanzenave has as cutthroat politicing as the Yurgenschmidt nobility to begin with.
Gervasio views the gods as all powerful divine beings. There is no way a mere mortal could outsmart them.
Ferdinand seems to view them as fallible beings with their own idiosyncraticies. Probably because he has had time to read his g-book and understand how the gods actually behave.
