Gald is a Makai Priest in GARO: Gold Storm Flight.
Personality & Character
While a laid-back, observant, and in general, a competent Makai Priest despite his young age, Gald has a holier-than-thou attitude with a tendency of treating others as tools. In Rian's words, Gald is little more than a brat who is overconfident with his abilities. He is very proud of his heritage and has little tolerance for anyone whom he sees to be insulting him or his now near-extinct people. His heritage is where his sense of duty on sealing Radan stems from, and he is serious about it to the point of refusing aid from others on completing the task.
Skills & Abilities
Gald is dressed predominantly in black like all Makai practitioners. His garb consists of an elaborated black robe, adorned with navy blue belts over his left shoulder and a short sleeve on his right which is mostly red. The puppet through which Haruna communicates with him is pinned to the right breast of his robe. Gald is a formidable Makai Priest, well-versed in martial arts and adept in combat magic, with his signature move being very short range teleportation, which he can also bestow temporarily on others through use of tags. As a descendant of the Homura Village, where two of his ancestors were responsible for sealing Radan, he is knowledgeable on the use of the Hōken and sealing techniques and rituals required to seal Radan.

History
As a child, he and his younger sister Haruna lived in a town before it was ravaged by a rogue Makai Knight slaughtering their family and friends as a Makai Priest named Moyuru sacrificed himself to ensure their escape while giving them instructions to Homura village. There, having developed a deep-seeded hatred for Makai Knights, the boy was taken under Hikage's wind and became a Makai Priest who would be named the current Gald with the mission to oversee the seal on the Horror Radan. For reasons unknown, Homura village is wiped out and Gald learns Haruna in Yousei Forest for safe keeping.
When Jinga broke the seal on Radan with the Hōken splintered, Gald stay in the background while observing Ryūga Dōgai, who obtained the Yin dagger, hunting down Jinga who has the Yang dagger. Once the two figures battle each other, Gald makes his move to reform the Hōken and run off with the sealing sword to give to Haruna for safe keeping. While Gald's refusal to have their help caused Rian to mistrust him to the point of fighting over the Hōken, she and Ryuga decide to let Gald be after seeing the protective talisman Haruna made for her brother.
However, after deducing Gald is not acting alone while capturing him, Jinga arranges for Hedera to attack Haruna while attempting to have Gald reveal the Hōken's whereabouts while claiming to have murdered Haruna when he refuses to answer. Luckily, Haruna is revealed to have been saved by Ryūga and Rian before they rescue Gald and stop him from using a suicide attack. While Gald grudgingly acknowledges Rian and Ryuga afterwards, he eventually accepts them as allies to fight alongside with.
