Gaius was a battle-commander of Messmer's army, born of the albinauric lineage that the people of the Lands Between later imprisoned and despised. His albinauric origins were no secret to Messmer, who valued him as proof that the soldiers of his crusade would not be drawn from the Erdtree's favoured. Gaius rode the largest wild boar ever bred in the Land of Shadow, a beast whose tusks were broken twice and replaced with iron. He fought beside Marika's son until the seal closed over them both.

When the Tarnished finds him, he is alone with his boar at the edge of the rauh wilderness, an old commander who has accepted that his army is gone and that no further orders will come. He fights without ceremony, charges without speech, and dies asking only that the Tarnished respect the beast he rode.
