Gaston

Appearance

Gaston has a large body with purple hair and eyes. He wears tan clothes, an orange sash around his waist, a green vest, and black shoes. After joining the Felt Camp, he starts wearing a suit.

Personality

Gaston has a rough personality, though he is loyal to Felt after joining her camp. Even following his enactment to the camp and having a more noble life, Gaston still retained his thug-like mindset and often berates Reinhard just like how Felt, Rachins and Camberley do.

History

The Travelogue of the Finest

Roughly 3 to 4 months before Subaru's arrival, Rachins, Gaston, and Camberley met an Imperial traitor, who paid the trio and fifteen other thugs a fair amount of gold coins in order to tail a Divine General who was after his head. The thugs disobeyed the orders and lured the swordsman into a dark alley, wanting to attack, beat and rob the man. However, as they were dealing with Cecilus Segmunt, the strongest person from the Sacred Vollachia Empire and one of the three men who are about as skilled as Reinhard in terms of martial arts, they were defeated within a second and left beaten half to death. Following their arrest by the Knight guards who rushed the scene soon after, the three thugs were then approached by Julius Juukulius, Ferris, and Chisha Gold, who wanted to know about Cecilus' location. Upon being promised freedom, they spilled the beans and were subsequently freed, with the money they would have gotten from Gramdart.

Felt-chan Gathers Thugs

After the Royal Selection Ceremony, Felt recruited Gaston, Rachins, and Camberley to join the Felt Camp. They accepted her offer, thus becoming participants in the Royal Selection. Since then, Reinhard started to train all three of them so they would grow stronger with his help.

Abilities

Flow Method (流法): In Arc 5, it is shown that Gaston uses a type of systemized technique known as the Flow Method, which involves using mana to strengthen his own body in order to raise his attack power or withstand attacks. Unlike magic, which is influenced by talent, the Flow Method depends entirely on training, and Ton is mentioned to be average at it. That said, it provides Gaston with enough temporary strength and durability to act like a shield capable of snapping even one of the blades of Lye Batenkaitos.

Considerable Endurance: Though not as much as other fighters, Gaston is rather tough. Even after having been struck down by someone as strong as the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, he retained his consciousness and even grabbed ahold of him while still on the ground.

Acrobatics: Despite his brutish size, Gaston is capable of performing feats of acrobatics that can even catch veterans off guard. The extent of said acrobatics is unknown, but it can be used to help him escape and counter his enemies simultaneously.

Training: After being employed by Felt, he started to get trained by Reinhard and has developed considerable power.

Trivia

• Ton, Chin, and Kan's names are a play on the Japanese word tonchinkan which means irrelevant or inconsistent.
• Gaston is a surprisingly good cook.
• According to the author, Ton, Chin, and Kan don't play an active role after Arc 1 until Arc 8.^[1]
  • As the original plan for Arc 7 changed and it was split into two separate arcs, it can be assumed that this statement about Arc 8 now applies to Arc 9.
