Gilbert was proud mercenary who earned a living with his skills. He was originally a mercenary leader in [[Zexen Federation|Zexen]], but when the fighting stopped, he left his family back home and drifted to the Dunan region in search of work.

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.


He was an accquaintence of [[Flik]] and [[Viktor]], who had met Gilbert when he was hired by [[Muse City]] in the past. Later, Gilbert happened to be in the [[Highland Kingdom]] when he was hired by the [[Highland Army]].
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. Later, while in the [[Highland Kingdom]], he found himself enlisted 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. Following the battle, Gilbert continued to serve with the [[New State Army]] through the [[Dunan Unification War]] as an infantry captain. It also appears he did indeed return the money the Highland Army paid for his services.
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 State 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.


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 and son behind to pursue employment in the first place, would be an unforgiveable act.
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.


Following the end of the war and sick of fighting, he returned to his waiting family in Zexen where he was able to put his heart to rest. On the way, he fought alongside [[Nash Latkje]] and his former New State comrades against a band of thieves claiming to be the [[Fire Bringer]] in [[Milit Village]].
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 State Army to confront a group of thieves falsely claiming to be the [[Fire Bringer]].
