Yeah, I think Gilles is an irregular in many aspects. In example, he wasn't summoned by a Magus, and he is also in a wrong vessel, maybe because the whole summoning was a... errr... mistake? Don't know if that's the proper word.

On the other hand, however, Gilles have some legends (well, more than legends, stories) about him trying to do magic. Let me quote Wikipedia (sorry for not use a better source, but it's the quickest): "In 1438, according to testimony at his trial from the priest Eustache Blanchet and the cleric François Prelati, de Rais sent out Blanchet to seek individuals who knew alchemy and demon summoning. Blanchet contacted Prelati in Florence and convinced him to take service with his Master. Having reviewed the magical books of Prelati and a traveling Breton, de Rais chose to initiate experiments, the first taking place in the lower hall of his castle at Tiffauges, attempting to summon a demon named Barron. De Rais provided a contract with the demon for riches that Prelati was to give to the demon at a later time."

So yeah, at least he is more or less a magician (well... it's better than Shakespiere, Dumas, Hans or Mozard; they didn't even tried to do magic).

Oh, and I didn't knew about that fact you are telling me. It's a shame. I mean, probably it's pretty funny the story, and many people enjoy it, but the Nasuverse have a lot of material to do serious and deep stories, it's a shame they don't use it.
