Gerelt

How Gerelt joined the Tourney
A renowned and honorable Spanish matador who is an expert fencer and fights with a Plasma Rapier while valuing honor from within the fights that he participates in. Unlike most members of the Fourth Empire, Gerelt is an unwilling ally of Bilstein.

Seeing the strong potential that Gerelt had due to his fighting abilities, Bilstein kidnapped Gerelt's wife and daughter with the help of a rival matador who had envied Gerelt's popularity and skill and framed Gerelt for the kidnapping. Through this, Bilstein threatened to kill Gerelt's wife and daughter unless Gerelt follows his direct command. To ensure that he also had Gerelt's willingness, Bilstein had implanted a bomb in his chest, forcing Gerelt to commit horrible crimes against mankind, for if he refuses, the bomb would be triggered and go off. All that Gerelt wants is to be free and save his family.

With the conflict between the Earth Federation and the Fourth Empire resolved, Gerelt finally gets the bomb Bilstein planted removed and prepares to live in tranquility with his family. However, on his way to watch the second Tourney, Gerelt hears reports of pirate hunter named Captain Armando Salazar running wild propelling him back into fighting.
