Gail

Gail (ゲイル, Geiru) is the Guild Ace and Supreme Commander of the dark guild Clear Note, as well as the 1st Division Commander and thus the Chief of its Pergrande Kingdom branch, as well as an expert in Lightning-based Magic. Originally born in Fiore, Gail was born with an immense quality of magical power and was subsequently hated and abused by his Dark Mage father. While attempting to learn magic in order to protect himself, Gail accidentally killed his mother, and, racked with grief, targeted and killed his father shortly afterwords.

He then fled into a nearby town and spent several months acting as a sort of jack-of-all-trades when it came to illegal activities, before being recruited personally by the master of Clear Note, who assumed the role of his father figure. Gail eagerly accepted the ideology of the guild, and quickly rose through the ranks.

He acts as one of the main antagonists in Fairy Tail: Dream and the rival of Knave Dhahaka.

Appearance
Gail is a somewhat handsome young man who is thin and tall, as well as a bit skinny, while he also has a decent bit of muscle as well. He has low-hanging, peach-colored hair with a small cowlick in the front, and a black headband. He generally wears a black button-up vest with a gold trim, with a medal hung around his neck, displaying a number 9 embedded into it. Around his right wrist he wears a wristband the same color as his vest, that seems to be made up of a variety of black bands. He also wears simple tan-colored breeches and light brown moccasins.

On top of all of this, Gail usually wears a tan-colored desert cloak with holes added for his arms to stick out from, and he only seems to remove the cloak when he is going to be fighting truly seriously, as otherwise it would hinder his movements in battle.

His guild mark is located on his left thigh.

Personality
When he was first introduced, Gail appeared somewhat lighthearted, treating situations with little seriousness and being generally very confident in his power. He also could be found walking around the Kingdom seemingly at random, with nothing with him except for the clothes on his back. He seems to enjoy humming, as he can often be found doing it and apparently has a vast 'library' of different tunes that he can recall at a moment's notice. He generally keeps either a bemused or completely serious expression on his face, depending on his current occupation or state of mind. When it comes to his subordinates, Gail seems to not have a very high opinion of them, often referring to them endearingly as "fodder" or "expendable". However, he still remains polite and even caring towards them, though he will still not hesitate to use them for his own ends should they be required.

While he usually comes across as having a very long fuse, once Gail does lose his temper he can become truly frightening, losing all sense of composure and essentially attempting to kill or destroy everything that gets in his way. When in this state, no one is really safe, even his own allies should they attempt to stop him or interfere with him in any way, as his attacks now lack any form of control, and will target indiscriminately. This rage can be triggered by a number of things, from opponents who he views as beneath him simply refusing to die, people expressing knowledge of his background (who are NOT the master of Clear Note), or attempting to sympathize with him in a way he finds distasteful.

Due to his confidence in his own prowess, Gail rarely comes across someone who he deems as 'worthy' for him to use his full power on, and he views that occurring as a major event. He also has something of an eye for a potential rival, and will usually refrain from killing someone if they manage to impress him enough, unless they manage to enrage him with one of the methods listed above. If the target manages to survive or even escape him in that state, his potential respect for them grows even more. For those who are close to or have reached his expectations, he notably becomes excited for the prospect of fighting them, and if they actually manage to tie or even defeat him, he gains a form of respect for them.

Despite his initial total belief in his guild's ideals, Gail has slowly began expressing doubt in whether or not his guild's goal is 'right' or not, and numerous encounters with various people have helped increase his doubt further. However, his perceived 'debt' to the guild master and his long history with the guild has kept him from outright rebelling; at least for now.

Natural Abilities
Immense Magical Power- From the moment he was first introduced, Gail was notable for his incredible amount of magical power, to the point that it even affects those around him when he displays it freely, especially those with either lower power than his or less willpower. Gail himself has admitted that he has to keep his power consciously under control in order to avoid adversely affecting his underlings or associates. The most common use for this magical power, outside of Magic itself, is Gail displaying his Magical Aura, usually to intimidate opponents or scare away those he deems as not worthy of an actual fight. While its level has not been gauged, it is estimated to be at S-Class level or potentially higher. Also worthy of note is the fact that Gail's level of Magical Aura seems to be directly affected by his state of mind at the time. When he is calm and collected, he can easily control it and even hide it, in order to not injure those he wishes to keep from harm. However, the angrier he gets, the more he loses control of it, beginning to do damage to the area around him and even occasionally killing a small animal or the like with its pure intensity.

Gail's Magical Aura, however, does not always appear as a literal aura of magical energy surrounding him. Occasionally, it has been shown to appear as a mirage or illusion, manifested in the target's mind and intended to psychologically damage them and prevent them from fighting. In this state, his aura appears as a massive, bronze-colored, three-headed dragon with massive claws. Occasionally it is also depicted wielding twin hourglasses. In addition, the victim sometimes hallucinates farther while influenced by this aura, and sees themselves as either in the dragon's paws or about to be devoured by this.

In even rarer occasions, the two 'possible' auras have combined, the dragon appearing while still surrounded by the actual magical energy.

Ways of Combat
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant- Gail has proven himself quite capable of fending his own without needing or wanting to use his magic, with him able to easily deflect a large variety of blows sent his way at incredible speeds. He also seems to have a large amount of knowledge about the human body, easily able to deliver powerful strikes to the more sensitive areas and key nerves. With this skill, Gail can defeat some potential opponents without even using his magic once, or in even rarer cases, without fighting much at a all, with only one strike being all it takes to knock them down. Gail has also been shown to endue his hands and feet with Eternano against opponents who are skilled in this art themselves, and can even use this boosted advantage to physically 'grab' spells, and stall them, usually as a form of psychological attack on the opponent, making them think that they are not as strong as they thought they are and potentially destroying their confidence in themselves, thus leaving them open to more elaborate attacks.

Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic
Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic (雷の滅竜魔法, Kaminari no Metsuryū Mahō)- A magic Gail received/learnt following his joining of Clear Note, via Dragon Lacrima being implanted into his body via a surgical procedure. This is a form of Lost Magic that allows Gail to take upon himself the qualities of a lightning dragon, from summoning large amounts of lightning to brutally attack, to releasing it from his mouth in a way similar to a roar, to even devouring lightning itself in order to regain his strength and further boost his magical power. As he is a Second Generation Dragon Slayer, Gail by default enters the state known as Dragon Force when he actives the lacrima implanted in his body; as evidenced by the addition of what appear to be scales on his forearms and lower legs, as well as elongated canine teeth, with his teeth sharper overall. Gail usually does not use this magic, preferring to use either Dark Spark or Lightning-Make on lesser opponents, but will reveal and utilize this magic on opponents who have proved themselves worthy to fight against, or those who have impressed him enough to give them a 'gift before (they) die'.
 * Lightning Dragon's Roar (雷竜の咆哮, Rairyū no Hōkō)-

Dark Spark
Dark Spark (ダック・スパック, Dakku Supakku)- The first magic Gail ever 'learned', he first activated this magic when he was a still a young boy. Dark Spark is a form of Lightning Magic in which the lightning is fueled by the user's hatred for a certain person or object, or even the world and reality in general. In Gail's case, it was initially his hatred of his father, and later, his hatred of the world around him and all it represented (save for Clear Note). Later on in the series, his hatred shifts to the life he was born into, and is forced to lead, and his now unseverable tie to Clear Note, with him unable to exit the guild even if he wants to. The lightning created by this magic is generally a dark purple in color, close to even black, though the hue and shade can depend on the one wielding it and how strong their hatred actually is. In addition, the lightning possesses incredible destructive power, rivaling even normal Lightning Magic, or its other variants. Those struck with this lightning are also struck with the full force of the user's hatred and pain, converted into physical pain.

Lightning-Make
Lightning-Make (ライトニングメイク, Raitoningu Meiku)- A form of Molding Magic that Gail acquired at an unknown time. It allows Gail to use his magical energy to create stable constructs out of lightning, via placing both his hands in an unusual position and conjuring a magic circle, which proceeds to create/transform into the construct required. While using both hands is the usual method and provides optimum stability, Gail has shown the capacity to use only one hand, creating constructs faster and giving them slightly more power, at the cost of them losing stability and potentially failing at critical moments. Due to this, Gail usually refrains from using the one-handed method, preferring to stick with the much more stable two handed method. However, in moments of extreme anger, he will indeed use this one-handed method, if only to potentially destroy the offender that much faster.

Trivia

 * Gail's appearance is based on the character of Hariru from the manga series Pokémon RéBURST.
