As a mercenary leader who fought for his livelihood, Gilbert happened to be in the [[Highland Kingdom]] when he was hired by the [[Highland Army]]. During the [[Dunan Unification War]], he participated in the first assault on [[Muse City]] but was convinced to switch sides mid-battle by [[Flik]] and [[Viktor]], who had met Gilbert when he was hired by Muse in the past. Following the battle, Gilbert continued to serve with the [[New State Army]] through the [[Dunan Unification War]] as an infantry captain.


While betraying a contract is a poor action for a mercenary, following someone like [[Luca Blight]] who would slaughter women and children without thought was a pretty unconscionable thought to most. Gilbert especially felt that doing so, when he had left his wife, [[Mary]] and son, [[Thomas (Suikoden II)|Thomas]] behind in [[Zexen Federation|Zexen]] to pursue employment in the first place, would be an unforgiveable act.
Gilbert was a proud and skilled mercenary who earned his livelihood through his exceptional abilities. Originally serving as a mercenary leader within the [[Zexen Federation]], he chose to leave his family behind and venture to the [[Dunan (region)|Dunan region]] in search of employment opportunities when the fighting died down in Zexen.


Following the end of the war and sick of fighting, he returned to his family in Zexen where he was able to put his heart to rest.
Having previously been acquainted with [[Flik]] and [[Viktor]], Gilbert had crossed paths with them when he was hired by [[Muse City]] on a prior occasion, just over prior to the [[Dunan Unification War]]. Later, while in the [[Highland Kingdom]], he found himself hired by the [[Highland Army]].
 
During the Dunan Unification War, Gilbert participated in the initial assault on [[Muse City]] as part of the Highland Army. However, he had a change of heart midway through the battle when Flik and Viktor convinced him to switch sides. Subsequently, Gilbert continued to serve the [[New Alliance Army]] as an infantry captain throughout the course of the Dunan Unification War. It is worth noting that he reportedly returned the money paid by the Highland Army for his services.
 
Despite the questionable action of betraying a contract as a mercenary, Gilbert found it morally unacceptable to follow a leader like [[Luca Blight]], who displayed a disregard for innocent lives. This was particularly troubling to Gilbert as he had left his wife, [[Mary]], and son, [[Thomas (Suikoden II)|Thomas]], behind while pursuing employment opportunities in the first place.
 
After the war, having grown weary of conflict, Gilbert chose to return to his family in Zexen, finding solace and peace of mind in their presence. On his journey back, while stopping in [[Milit Village]], he teamed up with [[Nash Latkje]] and his former comrades from the New Alliance Army to confront a group of thieves falsely claiming to be the [[Fire Bringer]].

—  Gilbert

Gilbert was a proud and skilled mercenary who earned his livelihood through his exceptional abilities. Originally serving as a mercenary leader within the Zexen Federation, he chose to leave his family behind and venture to the Dunan region in search of employment opportunities when the fighting died down in Zexen.

Having previously been acquainted with Flik and Viktor, Gilbert had crossed paths with them when he was hired by Muse City on a prior occasion, just over prior to the Dunan Unification War. Later, while in the Highland Kingdom, he found himself hired by the Highland Army.

During the Dunan Unification War, Gilbert participated in the initial assault on Muse City as part of the Highland Army. However, he had a change of heart midway through the battle when Flik and Viktor convinced him to switch sides. Subsequently, Gilbert continued to serve the New Alliance Army as an infantry captain throughout the course of the Dunan Unification War. It is worth noting that he reportedly returned the money paid by the Highland Army for his services.

Despite the questionable action of betraying a contract as a mercenary, Gilbert found it morally unacceptable to follow a leader like Luca Blight, who displayed a disregard for innocent lives. This was particularly troubling to Gilbert as he had left his wife, Mary, and son, Thomas, behind while pursuing employment opportunities in the first place.

After the war, having grown weary of conflict, Gilbert chose to return to his family in Zexen, finding solace and peace of mind in their presence. On his journey back, while stopping in Milit Village, he teamed up with Nash Latkje and his former comrades from the New Alliance Army to confront a group of thieves falsely claiming to be the Fire Bringer.
