Description
Gareth Landrock is a dwarf adventurer and one of the three top executives of the Loki Familia alongside Finn Deimne and Riveria Ljos Alf. Standing 151 cm tall, he has brown eyes, long brown hair, and a thick beard, maintaining an aged appearance even in his youth. He typically wears battle cloth and boots, adding a horned helmet and heavy armor for dungeon expeditions.
Originally a miner in his homeland, Gareth undertook dangerous assignments in volcanic regions, contributing to silver deposit discoveries and tunnel construction. Approximately 28 years before the main events, he encountered Loki, Finn, and Riveria in a Karuna tavern. After a brief skirmish, they recruited him despite his initial refusal. He journeyed with them for four years, ranking up rapidly. Fifteen years prior, he served as a supporter for the Zeus and Hera Familias against the Behemoth. Seven years ago, he reached Level 6 after defeating the Delphyne alongside Riveria, Ais Wallenstein, and the Astraea Familia during the Great Feud, later advancing to Level 7 after major conflicts.
Gareth possesses a good-natured and protective personality, often acting as a father figure to younger members like Bete Loga. He prioritizes their safety, frequently positioning himself as a human shield in combat and blaming himself for casualties such as Line's death during the first Knossos assault. Though laid-back and more forgiving than Finn or Riveria—evident in his lenient handling of Ais Wallenstein’s disciplinary incident—he maintains a strong sense of duty. He shares a longstanding mutual enmity with Mia Grand, reacting with visible annoyance to suggestions of camaraderie. Gareth enjoys alcohol regularly, sharing drinks with comrades and historically competing with Zald in drinking contests. His primary motivation stems from a passion for intense battles, which transformed him from a listless miner into a fulfilled warrior.
As a Level 7 frontline specialist, Gareth boasts unparalleled physical prowess. His strength stat (S997) allows him to topple a Valgang Dragon with one strike, swing it by the tail to annihilate other monsters, and shatter adamantite walls with his fists. His endurance stat (S996) enables him to withstand the Titan Alm Demi Spirit’s Firestorm—which devastated the 59th Floor—and survive prolonged exposure to magic sword blizzards equivalent to Riveria’s Wynn Fimbulvetr. He fought monster swarms for eight hours without fatigue and continued battling while impaled by multiple tentacles. His speed allows movement imperceptible to Level 5 adventurers. He wields the Grand Axe and Axe Louran, weapons crafted by Tsubaki Collbrande too heavy for most to lift, though they break under his full strength.
His combat skills include the terrain-destroying magic Earth Raid, and the skills Dvergr Enhance (boosting strength) and Ardigalea (boosting endurance and magic resistance). His Development Abilities are Fist Strike, Magic Defense, Abnormal Resistance, Smash, and Sturdy Guard.
In key battles, Gareth used a Valgang Dragon as an improvised weapon on the 58th Floor. During the Xenos arc, Welf Crozzo’s magic swords temporarily immobilized him. In Knossos assaults, he shielded Loki and Dionysus from deadly plant attacks and later collaborated with Mia Grand to destroy a Spirit Altar. He resisted Freya’s city-wide charm effect, becoming enraged at her familia’s actions. His story culminates on the 60th Floor, where he, Finn, and Riveria attempted to rescue Ais Wallenstein before falling into an abyss during a dungeon collapse.
