Gustaf is a Holy Knight of the Pleiades-class order, known for his strict personality, deep sisterly devotion, and ice-based magic, who ultimately dies after being gravely wounded and overexerting his power.
Name: Gustaf
Gender: Male
Height: 175 cm
Age: 21
Birthday: June 6
Holy Knight Rank: Crimson
Gustaf is naturally strict, principled, and serious, which shapes both his strengths and his biggest personal flaws.
He believes strongly in traditional ideas of happiness, especially for the people he loves.
He is the older brother of Jericho and openly opposes her decision to become a Holy Knight.
On the surface he appears cold and dismissive toward her, acting as if he disdains her path as a warrior.
In truth, he deeply loves his sister and wants her to live a peaceful life and find happiness as a woman rather than on the battlefield.
Because he cannot honestly express this softer side and instead wraps it in harsh criticism, he ends up provoking Jericho’s resentment.
This emotional distance leads to a painful rift between the siblings.
Gustaf’s inability to balance his strict ideals with open affection becomes one of the defining tragedies of his character.
During the conflict involving Zeldris and the Commandments, Gustaf faces a crucial turning point.
He encounters Holy Knights who have been taken over by the Commandment of Piety wielded by Zeldris.
In the chaos, Gustaf is stabbed in the abdomen by a Holy Knight who is under the influence of that commandment.
Despite suffering a serious wound, he still pushes himself to use his magic in order to fight.
Because he forces his power while already fatally injured, his wound worsens drastically.
The combination of the stab injury and the strain of his magic leads directly to his death.
His end underscores both his courage and his tendency to sacrifice himself for others without concern for his own life.
It also leaves his relationship with Jericho tragically unresolved, with his true feelings never fully conveyed to her.
Gustaf’s magic is centered entirely around the manipulation of ice, allowing him to attack, control the battlefield, and overwhelm opponents with freezing power.
His style combines precision with brutality, often manifesting as storms of razor-sharp ice.
