ギルベルト

Human Demonslayer (魔討士) A tall man with a lanky and muscular build. He wears a black mantle in addition to his black outfit and wields a sword with a crimson blade. He is a "Demonslayer", a warrior who specialises in exterminating demons. Over a decade ago, his sister Alise and his mother were brutally massacred by the demon Zenohemia. Since then, he has embarked on his journey motivated solely by the thought of revenge against Zenohemia. Before his arrival on the island, his reputation as a skilled demonslayer precedes him as his sobriquets "Demon Eater" and "Master of the Seven Demons" on the continent attest to. For the most part, he is gruff and rarely shows emotion. His taciturn disposition frequently leads to misunderstandings. However, he has immense hatred for demons and his fury towards them openly manifests when he's face to face with them. Growing up in the monastery together with his sister Alise and Carla, his first dream was to be a Paladin of Lasfarr so that he could protect all of those he loved. When he was young, he would pick fights with boys stronger than he was because he could not stand bullying. When his family was massacred by Zenohemia, he abandoned his faith and ran away from the monastery. Shortly after he met his Master who instructed him in the arts of the Demonslayers. He was also told of his half-demon heritage and how he could control its impulses. The seven Demons he holds mastery over are: 1. Longsword. Without this he cannot slay demons in his human form. 2. Clothes. He can strip naked or go fully clothed at the snap of his fingers. The demons within give him a measure of protection against freezing cold. 3. Book. The Supreme Demon's Tome (魔神王の書) allows him to banish demons to the void without harming the vessel. Nio is bound to the tome and her history with Gil goes back many years. 4. Dagger. A minor demon with little magic and no personality inhabits this weapon. Gil originally made a contract with it because its one talent was extraordinary sensitivity to other Demons in the vicinity. Although Gil no longer relies on it as much as his early days, he orders the Demon to keep Norn alive after she is fatally injured by Veronica. Although the contract remains valid, Norn inherits the demon's special ability and remains more sensitive to demonic presence than Gil is. 5. Water Demon. A tiny demon resembling a slime. Extremely minor and with hardly any mana presence. Its special ability is rapid absorption upon contact of water to form a large flotation device. Gil never learned to swim as he can't fight demons when underwater, so he made a contract with this demon in the unlikely event he would be thrown into deep water. 6. Horse. Chimerius, the Night Runner, is a Greater Demon in the shape of an enormous stallion. When Gil defeated Chimerius the latter asked about the Tome and how Gil obtained it. After hearing his story and his motives, Chimerius offered to contract with Gil at extremely favourable terms (Greater Demons demand much for their services, Chimerius simply asked Gil to sleep with a different woman at least once a month) in exchange for helping him defeat Zenohemia. He sacrificed himself to save Gil when encountering Zenohemia's avatar, but his spirit merely returned to the demon world where he continues to watch over Gil. The contract mark manifests itself as tattoos on Gil's forearms and his summoning totem is a wooden horse head. 7. Gil's half-demon blood. Because of his father's heritage, Gil has a demon of his own. When Gil's Master identified this, he recommended Gil form a contract with his bloodline. This helped quell the violent urges he faced as a child, and for a limited time he can assume demonic form which increases his powers considerably but leaves him drained of mana and requiring rest for at least three days. Most human demonslayers cannot form contracts with more than one demon at the same time. Gil can do so because of his heritage. Depending on player actions, Gil may be killed in battle and the island overrun by Zenohemia's demons. If he succeeds in obtaining his revenge, he can either continue making a living on the island or chooses to be banished to the void like all of the other demons he vanquished over his career.
