Gau (ガウ, Gau) is a supporting character in Suikoden III. He is the kobold member of Duke's unit of the Southern Frontier Defense Force.

History

An unfriendly Kobold in the fourteenth Unit of the Holy Harmonia Kingdom's Southern Frontier Defense Force.

—  Gau's profile
Gau is the designated teetotaler at parties.

Gau is a kobold warrior and a member of the 14th unit of the Harmonian Southern Frontier Defense Force. He wielded a spear with a forked blade in battle.

A rouge kobold, his past is unknown but when leaving his previous line of work, his tail was cut off as compensation. Sometime after that, his life was saved by Duke and since then he has worked with Duke in the SFDF.

During the War of the Champions, he was among the most loyal of soldiers, risking his life time and again for Duke. When Duke was defeated in a duel by Geddoe, Gau would stand up for his leader, fiercely defending Duke as a man in no way inferior to Geddoe. He greatly respected both Duke's leadership and tenacity.

Gau would become a member of the Fire Bringer when Duke aligned the 14th Unit with the group. As a member of the Fire Bringer, he was respectful to its leaders and a great asset on the battlefield alongside his comrades.

He was disdainful of kobold stereotypes, remarking that not all kobolds were like the jovial Muto (though he also admitted there were many like that). He was also determined to settle things with Geddoe's 12th Unit in the future.

After the war, he left the SFDF and began traveling on a journey of training. He would still return to Caleria often to help out Duke.
