Gantetsu, once a neophyte of Lorimar's Qlon Temple, was known for his frequent boasts of physical strength, earning a reputation as something of a roughneck. However, his violent tendencies and penchant for indulging in sake ultimately led to his excommunication from the temple by Fukien.
It was evident that his faith lacked depth, as he prioritized training his body over nurturing his spiritual growth. Some speculated that he had only become a monk due to having no other options. The prominent knot on his forehead came from the repeated headbutting he did during his physical training.
After his expulsion, Gantetsu found himself aimlessly brooding in South Window City with no clear purpose. However, fate took an unexpected turn when he encountered and suffered defeat at the hands of the leader of the New State Army and his comrades in a test of strength. This humbling experience shocked Gantetsu, leading him to acknowledge the New State Army's prowess and ultimately convincing him to join their ranks, eager to have a reason to wield his strength.
Following the conclusion of the Dunan Unification War, Gantetsu returned to the sacred grounds of Qlon Temple, where, through his service during the war, he had earned the reinstatement of his status within the temple. Though unlikely to ever become an outstanding monk, Gantetsu began his training anew, embracing his newfound opportunity, perhaps having learned something from his wartime experiences.
