Memories of Old Wounds
The scar on his left eye, now hidden, is proof of their bond. As long as this scar remains, he can believe in their connection.
Give and Take
He targets his prey with his spear. If his spear breaks, his reliable partner will support him. That’s their formula for certain victory.
Age of Concern
The animal scent that has soaked into his body is a medal of honor for a beastmaster. A delicate 17-year-old who wants to one day clear up the misunderstanding that he hates baths.
---
He is a bandit leader who relentlessly ravages various ruins on the ship, as well as a beastmaster. He is a hotheaded but kind-hearted man full of personality, and is adored by his subordinates. Later, he joins the group after having had attacked Shirley in search of Sacred Eres. He is a troublemaker in a different way than Norma is, often getting the short end of the stick. He shares a deep bond with the Grand Galf, Giet, that crosses the boundaries between humans and beasts.
Ain’t no “current” or “old” with family. New and old, family’s family.
Quotes Descriptions:
“With me an’ Giet, it’s a piece’a cake!” His absolute confidence in working with family he truly trusts.
“Hey, Giet… We’re together. Whatever happens, we’re together.” As his faith wavers, he mutters this while alone, intended for family that isn’t there.
“Ain’t no ‘current’ or ‘old’ with family. New and old, family’s family.” A pure thought that does not even consider ranking the things that are important.
Profile:
He was alone. He yearned for the presence of others besides for himself. No matter how much he pretended to act tough by pretending men loved solitude, he couldn’t fool his heart.
A Grand Galf child separated from his flock, and the boy himself. They were both lonely, but just by looking into each other’s eyes, they felt connected. When he protected Giet from a monster, he received a deep wound to his left eye, but even that seemed like proof of his bond with Giet. And so, Giet became Moses’ first family.
He also treasures his subordinates. He thinks of them as his own family. The more he treasured them, the more their numbers increased, and the more they felt to be his family. Before he knew it, Moses had become the leader of a group of bandits. He truly enjoyed being carefree with everyone. Giet and his subordinates, and his new companions, Senel and the others. Yet in the shadow of it all, he pretended not to notice the evident anxiety spreading.
"Wilding" - a phenomenon in which a beast tamer's tamed beast regains its original wildness and becomes ferocious. It is said that the younger a beast is tamed, and the deeper the bond with the beast is, the longer it will take before it goes wild. Inevitably though, it will happen. But when it came to himself and Giet, he believed they could overcome it. Rather, he wanted to believe they could.
So when he heard rumors that a Grand Galf that looked like Giet had attacked people, he absolutely did not believe it. He couldn’t forgive whoever spread such a groundless rumor. However, the more he investigated, the closer to the truth the rumors became.
Before long, Giet’s fangs attacked his subordinates who are like family to him. At this utmost limit, Moses fully realized how soft he’d been and made a decision. He could not let Giet hurt anyone else. He would not allow Giet to get hurt, either. He was the only one who could take responsibility for this.
Even though Moses knew that the black mist was the cause of Giet becoming ferocious, he was prepared. The black mist had only caused Giet’s wild behavior to occur sooner. The real parting would have inevitably come someday. Before that happened, Moses decided to part with Giet.
Giet’s departing howl resounded throughout the abandoned land. Was it a cry of loneliness? Of sadness? Something else…? Hearing that voice, Moses thought to himself, no matter how far apart they are, family is family. That bond can never be severed.
Giet’s Profile:
Moses’ Partner
CV: Yasunori Masutani
Species: Grand Galf
Gender: Male
This Grand Galf has a powerful bond with Moses. Grand Galfs, the king of Galfs, very much do not let their guards down. There are very few beastmasters who have been able to command these beasts, so such a relationship can be called a rarity.
