Gender: Male
Height: 6' 5"
Weight: Approximately 300 lbs
Fighting Style: Executioner
Allegiance: Unknown
Appearance: Gabranth is seen with black armor with dark golden trim and bearing a cape that of his former Archadian allegiance. Gabranth demonstrates a ruthless and cruel demeanor, a major antagonist and unwavering loyalty. However a torn and broken man lies behind his lordly facade.
Weapon: Dual-Bladed Sword. The bigger of the two "Chaos Blade" and the smaller "Highway Star", which can freely disconnect at the hilt.
History: A Judge Magister, highest rank of the Archadian Empire Gabranth has the of the 9th Bureau which is primarily concerned with gathering and dissemination of information. As such, many of the bureau's activities are shrouded in secrecy. Serving as the right hand of the Emperor, Gabranth is sent to spy on Vayne, and vows to protect Larsa (Vayne's younger brother) so that he may lay witness to the violence of war and conflict. After the Emperors passing, a Judge steps forward to accuse Vayne of murdering his own father. Knowing of the Emperor's wish for Gabranth to spy on Vayne, to test his loyalty Vayne orders Gabranth to kill Judge Drace. Which he reluctantly does.
At Pharos Gabranth encounters Ashe and party, (Ashe princess of Dalmasca) Larsa charges through to Gabranth to see if the two nations can make peace. Gabranth incites Ashe to take the nethicite and avenge all that have fallen and take her rightful place. When refused, he falls into a rage attacking, however is defeated and interrupted by Dr. Cid. After being told that he is pitiful for failing to protect Larsa and that he no longer serves a purpose is greatly hurt and disgraced as he retreats.
Gabranth, now a broken man and torn between his duty and honor. Angered that his twin brother Basch retains his pride and honor after abandoning his homeland years before, demands reason. Basch explains that by having something worth protecting, one can still hold onto his honor. Shortly after Gabranth witnesses the fighting between Vayne and the others, where Larsa his sworn protectie, gets hurt. Vayne then asks that Gabranth protect Larsa while he fights. He does so by raising his blade to his former and thrusting Chaos Blade through his chest, but not without repercussion. The thrust causes the latter to retaliate by fatally wounding the Judge. Shortly after the Judge Magister dies.
Fighting Style: Gabranth is a causious, tactical fighter to begin with Chaos Blade and Highway Star as one, relying on dodgeing and evading enemy attacks. Once an opponet is gauged, if needed will he pull apart his twin blades and enter into Executioner, doubleing speed and strength to show the power of a Judge.
Abilities:
(Innocence Ground) A long ranged attack from a stationary position on ground, charges swords with energy and slice the air rapidly, sending four large blades of energy towards opponent causeing weak~heavy damage based on distance of his opponent.capable of initiating *Quickening
(Blades can arc up or down on a very slight angle)
(Innocence Air) A long ranged attack from the air, charges swords with energy and slice the air rapidly, sending four large blades of energy towards opponent causeing weak~heavy damage based on distance of his opponent. capable of initiating *Quickening
(Blades can arc up or down on a very slight angle)
(Hatred) A short ranged trump card causeing the Judge to draw in and burst groups of enemies to a distance causing a moderate damage. capable of initiating *Quickening
(Guilt) A medium ranged, very quick dash at his opponents. If hit, opponent suffers a strike from both Chaos Blade and Highway Star, capable of initiating *Quickening
*Quickening (Frost Purge), Usable once in Executioner, is an incredibly strong attack, once initiated, the Judge will bind his opponent in a vortex binding them. Forming a group of ethereal swords to thrust into his opponent in a final attempt to end battle. Do to it's strain on the physical body, this ability is to be used with cation and reason. Once used it will take time and recuperation for the body to use again.
Weaknesses:
Outside of Executioner, Gabranth lacks a lot of power compaired. However he is still a Judge none the less.
What he lacks in magic is made up in sheer force. This however hinders him a great deal. Being a close ranged fighter, closeing the distance between him and his opponent is of high priority.
Physical and Magical strengths and weakness' are but one aspect, Gabranth also laments his own weakness and inability to overcome his own inner demons of the past. This tends to hinder decisions in battle.
