Profile[]

Introduction[]

Trails of Cold Steel[]

He hails from the foreign land of the Nord Highlands, located in the northeast of the Empire. A tall, sturdy young man with dark complexion, he wields a cross spear taller than him with ease. His family raises sheep and horses, and he has been honing his spear skills since he was a child by fighting wolves. He is the eldest of four siblings, and beloved by the younger ones. In his remote hometown, he took Sunday School lessons taught by the "traveling priest", and his grades were not bad at all. He seems to have enrolled in the Military Academy on the recommendation of a certain Imperial Officer...[2]

Trails of Cold Steel II[]

The son of Lacan, the finest warrior in the Nord Highlands' nomadic settlement. No matter how dire his position may be, things rarely get under Gaius' skin-he tends to stay calm in the face of nearly any problem life presents him, and because of his warm heart, he's easily able to see plenty of positives where others may be scraping the bottom of the barrel for a single ray of hope. Having grown up along the outskirts of the Empire, Gaius also manages to bring to Class VII a fresh and much-needed perspective on Erebonian culture.[3]

Trails of Cold Steel III[]

A member of the nomadic people of the Nord Highlands, located northeast of Erebonia. Gaius is a level-headed young man who loves both the wind and the Goddess. In order to expand his horizons and find ways to protect his homeland, he enrolled in Thors and was placed in Class VII. In his time there, he gained a second homeland and a number of irreplaceable friends. After the civil war, Gaius returned to the Nord Highlands, promising to reunite with his classmates before long. However, it was there that the horrors of war resurfaced. With the constant skirmishes between Erebonia and Calvard still breaking out across their shared border, it became more difficult to devote forces to protecting the people of Nord. For some reason, the other members of Class VII have been unable to contact Gaius for quite some time...[4]

Trails of Cold Steel IV[]

A member of the nomadic people of the Nord Highlands. Like the rest of his people, he is deeply devout to both the Goddess and the wind. After graduating Thors, an incident in his homeland resulted in him inheriting both his stigma and the seat of Eighth Dominion from Father Barkhorn, thus inducting him into the Gralsritter of the Septian Church. Upon completing his training as a Knight in the Holy City of Arteria, he returned to Heimdallr to assist Rean and the new Class VII. Though he fought hard to protect his two homes, even his newfound power wasn't enough to prevent the calamity that befell Erebonia.[5]

Trails into Reverie[]

A Nord native, a Dominion of the Septian Church, and a member of Class VII. He is a natural caretaker as the eldest of four siblings, and his ability to view any situation without prejudice makes him a trustworthy, reliable companion to his friends. His responsibilities only grew after graduating from Thors, when he inherited his Stigma and took his place as the Eighth Dominion, the Soaring Phoenix. He then used his newfound abilities to stand against the disastrous Great Twilight threatening the Empire. After the disaster passed, he and Zeo traveled across Zemuria while he fulfilled his role as a Gralsritter. A certain something occurring in the Empire, however, has prompted him to track down clues in his home of Nord...[6]

Appearance[]

Gaius is a nomad of the Nord Highlands with wavy brown hair tied into a short ponytail, tan skin and light blue eyes. he bears a strong resemblance to the rest of the members of the Worzel Family.

As a student of Thors, he wears the standard Class VII crimson uniform, in a similar alternative style to Elliot. His sleeves are kept rolled and wears sandals instead of shoes because of his homeland culture. He also has his own loose ankled trousers and wears a lavender sash around his waist.

Gaius's civil war outfit consists of a lined pattern long-sleeve shirt with the sleeves folded. Overtop is a dark crimson belted vest where his black trousers are overlaid with chaps chained to his belt. He switched his sandals for normal shoes

After Gaius's long absence, he sports a more traditional fashion of a nomadic soldier. Replacing his crimson vest is a long dark crimson overcoat with white pants, boots and open-fingered gloves, with the style resembling that of his new occupation.

Personality[]

Gaius is a friendly yet level-headed individual, able to discern the true nature of things without prejudice. He is grateful to the wind and Aidios for the people he has been able to meet and the experiences that have come across his path. His personality is without any sense of discrimination, leading him to be heavily relied on by the members of Class VII. Within the group, he frequently acts as the voice of reason. He is a very devout follower of the Septian Church and Aidios as a result of his mentor's, Barkhorn, influence.
