A French nobleman who fought alongside Joan of Arc during the Hundred Years' War before being executed for murder, sodomy, and heresy. According to legend, he's stuck around—literally. Fans of the series often note that Gilles seems to keep showing up at Joan's side even after death, which tracks with historical accounts of his obsession with her.
He's best known for his brutal combat style. During the fortress battle, Gilles threw down with the Drifters and nearly overpowered them through sheer force and refusal to stay down. He's genuinely terrifying in a fight—the kind of opponent who relies on raw strength and an unsettling persistence that makes him hard to put away for good.
