Galein's personality

Before his whole family was killed by Lance, with the same sword he forged, Galein was proud of his work as a blacksmith and cherished his family dearly. He suffered regrettably after having his family killed by his own creation. After that incident, not knowing that his grandson was still living, but vowed never forge a sword again. Before meeting Haru Glory, he spiraled around town as a drunken hobo while causing a lot of trouble to the townsfolk, making him prohibited from restaurants by the owners. In his drunken fit, he would have the tendency to drag others to join him, such as Plue much to Haru's chagrin.[1][2] While he can be carefree at times, he has a serious side being devoted to his job and family, and sacrifice to prevent his family tragedy from repeating.[3][4]

He seems to be very confident of his decisions and his work. As a blacksmith, he is observant and experiences between swords and wielders in regarding to the wielder's beliefs, as demonstrated when Shiba Roses, fifty years in the past, asks him for a sword and ends up getting denied by Galein himself as he states that Shiba was not fighting for anything and only wanted power to defeat stronger foes. When he is asked again by Shiba if he can forge him a sword, he agrees.[5] He also knows how to suppress his emotions when around his loved ones. When he finds out that Musica is still alive and that he is his grandson, he hides the truth to allow Musica to travel the world with his friends.[6] When Shiba dies, he cries his heart out and makes him a grave alongside the other warriors.[7]

Galein is arguing with the owner of the restaurant he is currently drunk at when he is asked to leave. He reminds the owner that he only asked for a drink, in a drunken state. However, the shop owner implies that the restaurant is a pasta shop, where no alcoholic drinks are sold. Nonetheless, Galein keeps asking for a drink, much to the owner's dismay. Galein is then joined by a strange white creature, but enjoys the creature's company. He pats it on the head and tells him to stick with him, stating that he has finally found someone who understands him. He looks at a boy with silver hair and, putting his drink up, asks him if he wants a drink, to which the boy denies. Galein grabs the head of the creature when he sees that the boy with silver hair gets ready to leave the shop with it. Galein and the boy stretch out the creature's body until the boy mentions the name of the man they are looking for, Musica. Galein gets up and begins to perform a bizarre dance, telling the boy that he will take him to Musica. Galein falls on the floor and tells him, whilst clapping his hands, he wants to go home.[13]

As the boy gets ready to leave, the owner reminds him of the bill. On their way to the man's house, he, Galein, asks the boy for his name. The kid tells him that his name is Haru. Seconds after, Galein tells Haru to walk faster. At first, he enjoys himself but then tells Haru to slow down because he is feeling sick.

Galein takes the sword and tells Haru that it will take approximately two days.

Powers and Abilities[]

Blacksmithing: Galein is known throughout the entire world as a famous blacksmith for his handy and astounding workmanship. He forged the Ten Commandments for Shiba Roses fifty years before the new Rave Master came along. That sword granted a tremendous amount of help and power to Shiba during the war of Symphonia and the Raregrooves. His next work was that of a sword requested by a man named Lance. Though after he gave the "Beast Sword" to Lance, his whole family was killed. He then left his blacksmith tittle behind him and decided to never forge another sword. However, that changes when Haru, the new Rave Master, asks for his blacksmithing ability. He makes the old sword he made fifty years ago a new core and completely fixes it. He also makes another sword for Shiba to use against Haru.

Equipment[]

Iron Hammer: Galein's most preferable tool for forging swords. Fifty years prior to the beginning of the story, Galein's hammer was a wooden one. It was light, noting how easily he carried it around his back, and impressively long. His current hammer s made of steel and seems pretty heavy.
