Personality
As a minorboss Gustaf has little dialogue.August comments that he isn't a particularly renowned commander; but he is known for outfitting his men with exquisite gear to make up for it.[4] From what dialogue he does have it is obvious that he is a fairly callous individual. This is especially obvious towardsXavier, theLeonster general he has under his thumb in exchange for the safety of his subordinate's loved ones.
He appears to have no objections to thechild hunts and even takes the initiative in abducting children without being ordered to, as an attempt to gain the goodwill of theLoptr Church.[5]He would frequently come into conflict with his subordinateAmalda over the matter.
