Description
Gerard Fragarach began as a human knight of ancient Alcahl. Following his death, his corpse was reanimated as an armor-type monster, specifically a Dark Knight or Abyssal Knight Commander. This undead existence anchored him to the world through unresolved anguish over the destruction of his homeland and family. He later regained self-awareness, retaining memories of his past life: his marriage to Betty—with whom he was known as a hopelessly devoted couple—and their young daughter, Connie. His entire family and nation perished in a pestilence allegedly spread by an entity named Jildora.
Even after acquiring the Materialization skill, which theoretically allowed a physical body, he persisted as a sentient armored being. He consistently wore his signature unmodifiable armor, consuming food and drink through his helmet's face bars. His equipment evolved, eventually including the greatsword Dainsleif and shield Dreadnought, crafted by his summoner, and the Crimson Mantle created by Efil.
Gerard encountered the summoner Kelvin during a quest in a decrepit castle. After testing Kelvin's strength in a battle he lost, he consented to become Kelvin's Follower, addressing him as "my king" while maintaining a partnership dynamic on missions. He joined Kelvin's household as a foundational member, occupying the room nearest the entrance to respond swiftly to threats.
In combat, he specialized as a physical tank, prioritizing defense and close-quarters engagements. Though magic use was rare, he employed ranged techniques like the horizontal slash Agito and vertical slash Gekou. His stat progression reflected this role, with endurance and strength markedly exceeding other attributes, such as his endurance reaching 1,237 at level 97, underscoring his evolution as a defensive pillar.
Personality-wise, he embodied a grandfatherly figure within Kelvin's party, particularly doting on younger members like Rion and Ruka, who called him "Gramps" and "Grandpa Gerard." He frequently recounted exaggerated tales of the party's exploits, often to Kelvin's embarrassment, and teased Kelvin about his interactions with female companions. Despite his playful demeanor, he demonstrated unwavering loyalty, serving as a trusted protector in battle and daily life. He avoided romantic advances, notably those of Goldiana, citing eternal devotion to his late wife.
