Gerard (グレー, Gurē) is a character in Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny.
Profile[]
Personality[]
Father Gerard is a very open-minded man, a bit effeminate and loves the gossip, but his intentions are pure when it comes to taking care of the two children Quinn and Kelsey and looking out for the fellow islanders. His mood is almost always cheerful, and he often expresses joy when the protagonist visits. As Odette says, "he is a character." However, Gerard also has a completely different side to him. He can be threatening and scary when provoked, and is called "a demon" by Pandora .
Appearance[]
Story[]
Gerard was once a soldier in a country far from Fenith Island. Their rulers were aggressive and were constantly at war. One day, he was rushing to reinforce a unit that was engaged in a battle near a small village. However, when he got there, he was too late. The battle had moved somewhere else, and the village was rubble. Villagers wandered here and there, dazed, heartbroken, hoping to salvage anything of their lives from the debris. Seeing this shocked Gerard and he tried to leave as fast as he could. He heard a child crying beneath the rubble and he dug through it. He found Quinn and Kelsey buried under that rubble.
After that, he left the army, taking Quinn and Kelsey with him. They stowed away on a freight ship and we ended up on Fenith Island. Beatrix allowed them stay on this island, no questions asked.

Gerard: Truly, you're too kind. Gerard turns his back to face the wall, away from Aden. Gerard: There was nothing left but rubble. Villagers wandered here and there, dazed, heartbroken, hoping to salvage anything of their lives from the debris. Gerard: It was such as shock. I'd always been on the front lines, in the thick of the fight. I'd never seen its aftermath. I wanted to leave as fast as I could. Gerard turns back around, once again facing Aden. Gerard: Then I heard a child crying beneath the rubble. I dug desperately through it. Gerard: I found Quinn and Kelsey buried under that rubble. The moment I found them, I realized the folly of what I'd been doing, Gerard: After that, I left the army, taking Quinn and Kelsey with me. We stowed away on a freight ship and we ended up on this island. Gerard: I'm so grateful to Beatrix for letting us stay on this island, no questions asked. Aden: You've really been through a lot... Gerard: But you know, sometimes I wonder... Gerard: Kelsey was too small to remember any of it, but I sometimes wonder if Quinn hate doesn't hate me... Gerard: I wasn't in that battle, but it was my fellow soldiers who destroyed their home. Aden: I'm sure she doesn't hate you... Mikoto: (Off screen. Spoken: Hmph, correct.) That's right. I'm sure she doesn't hate you. Mikoto and Pandora walk towards the two. Gerard: (With shock) Where did you come from? Pandora: (Spoken: Hmph!) Children live for the future, they don't remain stuck in the past. Children are not such fools as that. Pandora: (Spoken: Very nice.) And that's why this world is worth taking over. Mikoto: You can tell from the way they look at you that they trust you completely. Mikoto: Father Gerard, you must have more confidence in yourself. Gerard: (With tears. Spoken: Gasp.) Listen to all of you... You must have had too much to drink... Aden: It just goes to show how much good you've done this island, Father Gerard. Gerard: (With tears) Thank you so much, all of you. I do love you all very much... Gerard: Now that's quite enough of this sentimental talk! Let's go get a bite to eat! Gerard: (With musical notes) My treat! Pandora: (With sweatdrop. Spoken: Grrrr...) I'd much rather you waived my rent. Gerard: (Spoken: Oh?) Oh, will you not be joining us, Pandora? Pandora: (With sweat. Spoken: What did you say?!) Perish the thought! I'll certainly go, so long as you're paying. |

Gerard says that Kelsey lost his rosary. Gerard offered other rosaries, but he cries and said he only wanted that one. If Aden talks to Maerwen, she'll say that Quinn and Kelsey were playing with one in the bath the other day. She says she went into the men's bath to clean it and didn't find anything, but suggests that he check the woman's bath. She watches outside until it's clear. Kelsey's Rosary can be found in the water and returned to Gerard. He rewards Aden with three Oranges.

Schedule[]
Can be found early in the morning escorting the children back to the Church from the bath house, and then resides at the top of the Church tower. Afternoons and evenings he can be found at the Church alter and at the Three Sisters Inn at later hours.
It should be noted that there is a period of time which the map states that Gerard at the church, but he is not present in the church at all. It occurs sometime around 1pm (unconfirmed) and ends at 6 pm (confirmed). This occurs when he goes atop the watchtower next door, since it is treated as part of the church on the in-game map.

Trivia[]
- He is the true head of Fenith Island Security, and gets patrol reports from Mikoto (his subordinate) daily.
- According to Mikoto, he is the strongest person on the island. This helps explain why he does not participate in the Warrior Festival. It should also be noted that he has dumbbells in his room, implying he works out regularly.
- He was once known as the "Silver-Eyed Demon" on the battlefield.
- Mikoto has a slight crush on Father Gerard. In a conversation with Aden/Sonja, Mikoto notes how remarkably muscular and formidable Gerard is, and pauses in thought after stating this. She quickly dismisses herself after catching herself daydreaming, and resumes her business.
- During the Masquerade, Gerard is seen wearing an Egg Hat
- Every year he buys Quinn new clothes on her birthday.
- He regularly works out in his room with his weights.
- He says "If only I wasn't a priest" when talking about Violet.
