『Gareth Landrock』

Gareth Landrock(ガレス・ランドロック) is a first class adventurer and a top executive of the Loki Familia.

Gareth has brown eyes and long brown hair along with facial hair of the same color that is long enough to form a beard. He wears a battle cloth and boots, adding a horned helmet and armor onto it when he ventures into the dungeon.

Gareth is a good-natured and kind person, acting as a father figure to members like Bete. He usually takes a protective attitude towards his Familia members in addition to helping them improve as adventurers. He feels responsible for their safety, blaming himself for the deaths of Line and the others on their first assault to Knossos.

His protective instinct is present all the time. He does not hesitate to stand between them and danger, more than willing to serve as a human shield in order to protect them. In their expeditions, he always takes a rearguard position in order to protect them more easily, superimposing his sense of duty over his love for battles.

He possesses a laid-back demeanor and is more forgiving than Finn and Riveria with the young members. After she left her position during a battle on the 49th Floor, they both severely disapproved of Ais' actions. However, Gareth decided to let her go after only a brief scold, presenting arguments in her favor to convince Finn.

Although he initially disliked them, he ended up forging a strong friendship over the years with Finn and Riveria. The three of them usually talk to each other about various matters and have great confidence. He is a faithful friend who supports his companions in all their decisions.

As a result of having lived with them for so long, Gareth knows perfectly his friends and their processes of acting and thinking about him. In the final battle at Knossos, he instantly noticed that Lili was not Finn, seeing through Cinder Ella, while also realizing just as quickly that the change had been Finn's idea.

Despite the fact that he is typically cheerful and friendly, his attitude changes when dealing with Mia. They share a mutual enmity and are annoyed when talking to each other. His dislike appears to be significant, complaining to Finn when he jokingly suggested that Gareth missed working together with her.

He loves alcohol and drinks it regularly when he eats. However, he isn't greedy and tries to keep it just for himself; as he is more than happy to share it, enjoying drinking in the company of colleagues and friends. Still, he knows to moderate when necessary. During a party at his Familia's camp, he declined an invitation from Tsubaki to drink, as he was aware of his position as a leader.

While Gareth drinks mainly for pleasure, he too seems to have a competitive side to the subject, showing that he has a certain pride in his high resistance to alcohol. He used to compete with Zald over who was able to drink more every time they met. He was persistent in his quest to face him, as he continued to challenge him despite having lost to him on more than one occasion.

Gareth is passionate about heated battles. The excitement he feels is a rewarding experience for him and his main motivation to be an adventurer. Being able to dive into intense combat has proven to be an important part of his life. Prior to becoming an adventurer, Gareth was a listless person and generally showed disinterest towards everything. He was dissatisfied with his life and longed to be able to experience a true combat. Currently, as an adventurer, his behavior denotes a considerable improvement compared to his previous self.

Likewise, he is excited by challenges and expresses joy when one is presented to him, even if he is in the middle of an important mission. He is also interested in warriors who perform amazing feats, taking an interest in Bell upon hearing of his fight against the Minotaur from the 9th Floor.
