Gantetsu was 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, 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]].


Gantetsu eventually travelled to [[South Window City]] where he would lose to [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] in a test of strength. Shocked, Gantetsu would agree to join the New State Army.
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.


Following the end of the [[Dunan Unification War]], Gantetsu returned to [[Qlon Temple]], his expulsion rescinded.
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 [[Hero (Suikoden II)|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.

History

I am Gantetsu!!! A great priest!!

—  Gantetsu

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.
