Role

Gheb is theboss ofChapter 9 ofEphraim's route.

He is the commander leading the defense of the strategic Fort Rigwald. Shortly before the arrival ofEphraim's invading forces he capturesTana. After Tana's capture, several of his subordinates, includingAmelia, voice their disapproval of the war between Grado and the rest of Magvel, but Gheb quashes the dissent with threats. Later, he intends to spend the evening "interrogating" Tana[1] but his plans are thrown askew when Ephraim launches his full assault on the fortress.

Despite his confidence in his abilities, he ends up losing Fort Rigwald and is slain by Ephraim's forces.

Personality

Gheb is an extremely arrogant and self-absorbed leader who openly does not care at all for the lives of his subordinates; when one of his soldiers questioned the war, Gheb threatened the soldier that, if he didn't follow orders, he would be burned at the stake.[2] Gheb is under the impression that he is a valued brilliant tactician of Grado,[3] though it is unclear how highly ranked he actually is.

    Gheb: That's right. So that should make it clear whose orders you follow, eh? You got that, dolts? If you do, then shut up and get in formation. No one cares whether you minnows live or die anyway. Got it?

  4. "One thing I've noticed with the characters Debias and Gheb is that, as fat characters, their names seem to be warpings of the Japanese word for fat (debu). It would have probably been more accurate in the English version, actually, to change their names to something that gives that impression to an English-speaker." — gringe,FE6 Localization Patch v1.0 - Seriously, we did something, Serenes Forest Forums,Published: July 11, 2015,Retrieved: August 1, 2015
