Biography

Suikoden II

I am Gantetsu!!! A great priest!! —  Gantetsu

Gantetsu is a neophyte of Qlon Temple who was excommunicated due to his violent tendencies and his habit of getting drunk on sake. He could not be said to have held a deep faith and was more interested than training his body than his spirit.

Gantetsu eventually travelled to South Window City where he would lose to the leader of the New State Army in a test of strength. Shocked, Gantetsu would agree to join the New State Army.

Following the end of the Dunan Unification War, Gantetsu returned to Qlon Temple, his expulsion rescinded.
