Personality

As a minor boss, Gail does not get much screentime, but his dialogue indicates despite being captain of a ruthless and feared viking gang, he fears dying in battle againstAltea. Gail considers surrendering, but decides Marth would not show mercy and decides to go out fighting.

In the remake, Gail believes his reinforcements will turn the side against Altea by via a surprise attack.[1]

Trivia

  • InFire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, Gail can be seen mentioning his reinforcements even after he has been defeated.
  • Gail's battle dialogue is changed in some fan translations; instead of considering pleading for mercy before deciding he won't receive any, Gail pretends to ask for mercy only to reveal it was just a trick to make his opponent lower their guard.

• Gile
• Guile

• Used in theMystery of the Emblem fan translation.
• Used in theNew Mystery of the Emblem fan translation patch. May have been changed for the patch due to "Gail" being viewed far more as a feminine name in modern times, and thus inappropriate for a male character. Guile is probably best known as the name of a famousmale character from theStreet Fighter series.

Japanese

ガイル

Officially romanized asGail. One of a number of shortened forms of the feminine biblical name "Abigail", originating from the Hebrewאֲבִיגַיִל / אֲבִיגָיִל; the biblicalAbigail was most well known as the third wife of King David. Although the actual spelling "Gail" was more commonly used for both genders prior to the 1930s, it eventually lost favor in male usage and became increasingly used as a feminine-specific spelling. Contrary to the name's modern feminine connotations, this particular Gail is a male character.
