Gilliam

Gilliam is one of the strongest Gladiator in Tarkas's troupe along with Orba and Shique. He is known for his giant build and unruly red hair. He has a short temper and typically fights with an ax.

He was arrested along with all the other members of the Troupe following the assassination attempt at Seirin Valley. They were imprisoned at Idoro and there were rumors that they were going to be put to death to raise solider moral. Kain was even working on an escape plan when "Gil" surprisingly saved them by appointing them his Imperial Guards.

During the battle at Zaim Fortress he infiltrated the fortress along with Orba, Shique, and several other elite former Gladiators in order to kill Ryucown. Gilliam was unaware that it was the real Orba in the mask. While the masked fighter dueled Ryucown, Gilliam and the other guards kept the rebel soldiers at bay.

However, things did not go as planned, and Orba was overpowered. Though Ryucown was temporarily stopped by Vileena grabbing a gun and threatening to shoot herself, the situation would not last. Just as Orba regained his footing, Shique moved to throw him one of his swords and took the gun from Vileena. While Orba and Ryucown continued their duel, Shique held the soldiers back with Vileena as a hostage. He then escaped with the princess, at her suggestion, in the nearby airship.

After watching the masked fighter (Orba) kill Ryucown, Gilliam and the Imperial Guards protected him as the remaining rebels surrounded them. But at that moment the Mephian army with Vileena leading them in the airship came rushing towards the fort and Ryucown's remaining soldiers instead surrendered.

After returning to the fortress Vileena personally thanked Shique, Gilliam, and Orba for there service.
