Description
Gil T. Shiga, who also operates under the alias Richard Riesman, serves as a central antagonist. He presents a facade of polite and mild-mannered behavior, which masks his true nature as a cold-blooded and heartless killer. He believes true power is achieved by inflicting death and despair, and he seeks to rule the ungoverned parts of America according to his hedonistic whims, a goal supported by his significant talent for violence and intimidation.
His appearance is marked by scruffy ash-white hair and a distinct cross-shaped scar on the right side of his face, with the vertical portion extending past his cheek. He typically wears a black outfit over a pink dress shirt.
His actions demonstrate a complete lack of mercy, even toward subordinates; he shoots a goon in cold blood for stepping out of line and kills members of an elite squad for perceived failures, such as not slaughtering protagonists or allowing a character named Chase to discover a hideout's location. Despite this, a few followers exhibit genuine loyalty, even to the point of dying for his cause.
His methods are akin to terrorism. A key plan involves setting off bombs in Chicago to spread fear and terror on a world stage, a plot that is ultimately thwarted when another character stops the train carrying the explosives.
After his defeat, he reacts with fury, threatening everyone involved before being sent to jail. A subsequent mention a month later suggests a possible execution or a sentence to a life of hard labor, though his exact fate remains unspecified.
He uses the outlaw identity Gil T. Cigar, and this duplicitous nature is a key aspect of his role, manipulating others through a false persona of kindness.
Specific incidents include kidnapping a character named Sofia, hijacking a train, taking hostages, disabling race cars, and apparently killing another character named Kosame, though the latter is later revealed to be a non-fatal injury.
His background is that of a legendary, heartless, and ruthless outlaw willing to kill anyone and destroy anything obstructing his goals. This fearsome reputation precedes him and is a source of fear for other characters.
