Gil Mephius

Gil Mephius is the crown prince and eldest child of Guhl Mephius, Emperor of Mephius. Despite his position, he has a more passive personality, especially when he is with his younger step-sister Ineli. Even though he did not care for the gladiatorial fights, she enjoys them and would often drag him with her.

After watching several fights at the Ba Roux Amphitheatre, he and his sister where there for the match between Ballchain Verne and the new comer Iron Tiger Orba. When the Sozos dragon broke free, he got separated from Ineli and watched as she was almost attacked before Orba killed it and saved her.

Gil spent most of his days and nights fooling around with a group of young nobles, including Baton Cadmos and Troa Hergei, while Simon Rodloom hopelessly attempted to reign his actions in. They would have street races with rare horses, invited young women from distinguished houses to entertain at the river, gambled, imitated hunts, drank alcohol, and have meaningless wild parties. However, despite spending so much time with them, Gil never made any close friends. It was obvious that they were only getting close to him because if his position.

Gil is constantly frustrated by the way he is looked down on by his father, who he has a strained relationship. This is mostly because of his inability to live up to his father's expectations in either studies or sword training, he is routinely admonished and made a laughing stock in front of his family and nobles. He was especially conscious of how Ineli sees him. He never got along with Fedom Aulin, calling him a 'manipulative wannabe swine’ behind his back.

After being publicly disparaged and humiliated by his father, then dismissed by Ineli, Gil acted out by getting drunk and using Black Water Lily Powder while racing his horse through the streets. It was at this time that he happened upon the wedding celebration of an Imperial guard's daughter, Layla Jayce, and declared the "Right to the First Night." When her father, Rone Jayce, tried to intervene Gil lashed and grabbed his gun. In the ensuing struggle it went off, killing Gil.

Even though Gil was dead Fedom Aulin, who was the first to find him, declared that he was only injured. This is when Orba became Gil.
