Gieve

Gieve (ギーヴ) is a major character in The Heroic Legend of Arslan and a playable character in Arslan: The Warriors of Legend.

A wanderer at heart, he is a self-proclaimed devotee of beauty and lady-killer. By chance, he meets Farangis and follows her into Arslan's forces to woo her. His sheer ingenuity and skill with the bow and sword have saved Arslan and company countless times.

He has a character image song titled Koto no Ha Oto no Sora.

Personality
In the eyes of the military elite, Gieve is a ruffian who is painfully insubordinate and arrogant. He rarely keeps his wisecracks to himself, washes away infidelity with prideful, grandiloquent lies, and dispenses with formalities once it is convenient for him. Yet Gieve has never taken to authority well, especially if he believes the taskmasters are cruel. He harbors an avid thirst for freedom, an innate sense of virtue, and a sharp mind. Once he finds a cause which can hold his interest, the minstrel will fight to protect it with surprising courageousness.

As a womanizer, Gieve claims to only hold interest in exquisite beauties. To him, Farangis is the embodiment of his revered Goddess Ashi and worthy of his endless praise. He has a passing rivalry with Kubard in pursuing her attention. While he originally sided with Arslan as a convenience, the prince's naivety and abnormal mannerisms amuses him. Gieve gradually comes to believe Arslan to be a light of hope amongst the corruption common in the nobility.
