My new boss will arrive tomorrow. Should i "fear" him?

Not an English speaker.

So tomorrow i will see and know my new boss and after a bit of speculations and asking around i found out some things about him. Well whoever he is this guy is absolutely badass.

In this days i tried to figure out who my new boss, where he was coming from and all this info and when i heard the stories about him i just feel respect and a bit of fear.

So this guy is single, he have a daughter, he is 28, he had 5 promotions in 7 years, have 2 degrees(one tooken while working) and a workhaolic like me(even more if i base on the stories i heard).

I heard rumors about him taking risks that sincerly even i wouldn't make. And i even heard things about the way he treats in office dramas.( he hate those and treats them absolutely badly and with an immediate reaction) I heard a very particular story about him of the last year when he, finally, had all the proofs about "big pieces" in the company stealing money and when they tried to bribe him to shut him up he just went straight face to face to them and told them to try him and then submitted every prof making important people in my company fired immediatly, just like my old lazy ass boss. He have an immacolate reputation in the company and the people that told me this added(i say the exact worlds) "bro you better watch out at this guy, he don't mess around and have an absolut talent for numbers".

So should i "fear" him? Should i see him differently?
