Gael Shepherd

Gael is a character in Infected Wind Era 2. He is played by Ascenusk.

Appearance
Gael, before revealing himself first wears an old, light blue tunic given to him by Melanie Magiza. He also wears black pants, from his disguise as a Yami Division Lieutenant lead by Kamajihironagi Gakamiro. He has spiky white hair, wears a white scarf around his neck, wears a brown belt around his waist, and wears black boots. He also has a scar on his left cheek, however the origin of this scar is unknown. Later on, Gael wears a gray uniform similar with a pale red scarf.

Skills
Gael is skilled in longswords and greatswords.He is somewhat agile and able to both parry using only his fist, and also roll to dodge attacks. He called himself 'just an average soldier' because he doesn't have any personal weapons, nor is he a special part of The Rooks. He however ran and stole The Rooks' weapons back from Kaze no Heiya, and broke the others out of prison using his longsword to break the locks.

Gael shows off his skills against a wounded soldier, showing he can parry the soldier's sword with the back of his hand, and stab them in the stomach. He's swift enough to roll behind a soldier as well to backstab them.

During the duel with Jack Masterson, it can be seen that he's clearly able to wield a greatsword easily.

Personality
Due to Gael's disguise, he acted like a teenage fanboy. He used a pun of Echo Sirius's name, telling him that he was 'Siriusly awesome' when he was ripping apart guards in Kaze no Heiya. Even if he acts like a teenager, he also has an amount of determination, thanking Melanie intensively for letting him join the Rooks.

However, later on, it is revealed Gael is similar to Kamajihironagi Gakamiro.
