Background / History

Gus serves as Hua Zhen's Personal Guard from the beginning of the story. When Hua Zhen loses consciousness after attempting to drown himself, Gus rescues him and urgently revives him. He later manifests his white Angel wings to prove that Angels are technological rather than mythical beings 1 2.

Formerly transferred from the Sixth Legion, Gus is an experienced battlefield Angel and a friend of Xuan Ji. His early duty centers on protecting Hua Zhen while explaining Angel Civilization, Gene Engines, and the dangers surrounding the succession struggle 2 10 25. After Hua Zhen asks whether he will remain at his side, Gus commits himself to helping his prince pursue his larger goal 10.

During the Fellinton mission, Gus acts as Hua Zhen's investigator, adviser, and principal combat support. He questions the suspicious exposure of Fellinton's Super Gene research, helps infiltrate the seabed research base, kills commander Ji En, and holds back the garrison while Hua Zhen advances on the research center 35 46 49. He and Andre survive the Allied Forces' nuclear-level strike through the Emergency Protection Programs in their Gene Engines, though the blast knocks them unconscious 61 62.

Hua Zhen later entrusts Gus with authority to activate Ai Wen's Restriction Program if Ai Wen shows signs of disloyalty 65. Gus also accompanies Hua Zhen through the Ancient City expedition, helping capture Mechas, destroy Totem Pillars, retrieve a Dark Energy crystal and Ring Platform Instrument, and continue the mission despite severe injuries from an Inner City Mecha Guardian 124 127.

More than ten thousand years after Hua Zhen's presumed death, Gus leads the Sixth Legion into the Form War. He reappears during the Battle of Arnos, where he saves the defenders from the Beast Body invasion. Hua Zhen—then using the identity Han Xu—later reveals himself to be alive; Gus learns that 13,520 years have passed since their last meeting and is overwhelmed by the reunion 338 340 346 347.

Appearance

Gus is a blond male Angel with pure white wings that he can manifest or retract through his Gene System. After more than ten thousand years, he appears as a middle-aged man rather than the younger guard Hua Zhen once knew 1 2 338 340.

• Golden-blond hair 338
• Pure white Angel wings 1 2
• Carries a longsword as his primary weapon 26 48
• Later uses a Flame-Class Longsword and the Void Blade 346 567

Personality

Gus is defined by absolute loyalty to Hua Zhen. He is protective of his prince, willing to accept dangerous assignments without hesitation, and continues to serve him after believing him dead for more than ten thousand years 46 347 402.

Unlike Andre, Gus is cautious and analytical. He questions irregularities in Fellinton's Super Gene program, recognizes the risks of exposing the Ancient Civilization Ruins, and repeatedly urges Hua Zhen not to underestimate enemies 35 46 62. He can nevertheless be proud and easily irritated when Hua Zhen unexpectedly prevents him from taking risks, particularly after his return in the Form War 340.
