A holy monster that sought for God more than anyone else.

A French noble from the 15th Century.

Having repeatedly committed the deed of abducting young boys from the vicinity of his domains and then disgracing・slaughtering them one after the other, things reached the point in which he became known as the model for the later fairytale "Bluebeard".

He was once the owner of a highly pious heart, he fell of deep despair and lost sight of God after Jeanne d'Arc was executed as a heretic.

His cruel deeds were also a means to prove the absence of God (who supposedly punished such vices).

At first, Gilles got involved in alchemy along with his friend, the cleric François Prelati, in order to cover up for financial difficulties, but at some point he lost sight of the original purpose and began to concentrate on summoning of demons.

As others began fearing that he would sell over his domains to an enemy nation in order to raise money, as an excuse for the seizure of his territory, Gilles was convicted for his past misdeeds and executed.

The censures towards his blasphemy and cruel deeds were all nothing but political pretenses.

This man, who couldn't help but hold suspicions against God exactly because he extolled God too much and infatuated himself with scornfully curse God, was finally destroyed without being judged by God.

Probably, only a Master who shows understanding towards such zeal and despair can perfectly employ him as a Servant.
