Swords are not suitable for women!

— Gerard to Elesis


Gerard Farenwhite is the current leader of the Ruby Knights until Elesis returns from her journey with the Grand Chase. He appeared in the game as a Quest NPC for the Kanavan region.

Background[]

Likability Elesis 01

Gerard is the son of Depas Farenwhite, a man with great influence within the Ruby Knights. He was a young Knight who competed against Elesis for the leadership of the Ruby Knights. When they were younger, Gerard was very hostile towards Elesis because of his sense of inferiority towards her skill, which far surpassed his own. One day, he witnessed Elesis performing intense training on her own in order to overcome her physical limits as a woman, and that incident changed him. In front of people, he still appears to be in a rivalrous relationship with Elesis in the contest for the Ruby Knights's leadership, and Gerard habitually teases Elesis by saying that a sword is not suitable for a woman. In wars and in life, however, he looks out for Elesis discreetly.

In the end, Elesis won the contest for leadership and was appointed leader of the Ruby Knights. However, after Elesis left for Serdin to join the Grand Chase, he led the Ruby Knights in her stead and supported her in her mission.


Story[]

Although he does not appear in the story dialogues, Gerard interacts with the Grand Chase and, at times, with the players themselves on the mission board.

Elven Forest[]

Gerard met Elesis in the Elven Forest and introduced himself to the Grand Chase. He received a report about the Orc Warriors invading the area and asked to wipe them out quickly.

Gorge of Oath[]

Gerard told them about the Gorge of Oath and the start of Kanavan's territory beyond its canyons. When the Drillmons were encountered, he mentioned them being gentle creatures but warned the Grand Chase that they were much stronger than the Orcs.

Marsh of Oblivion[]

Gerard asked a favor and the Grand Chase detoured in the Marsh of Oblivion to scout the area where missing villagers had been reported. He told them that the population of the Poisonous Mushrooms seemed to increase each day and worried that the creatures would be all over not only Kanavan but the whole continent of Bermesiah.

Forsaken Barrows[]

According to Gerard, the Kanavan Kingdom required help with the dead rising in the Forsaken Barrows and asked the Grand Chase to investigate. He warned them to not underestimate the undead as they were strong, fast, and capable of exploding. He also mentioned that the weakness they had when alive was still the same when dead.

Forgotten City[]

Not too long ago, Gerard was able to rescue a little girl from the attacking machines. However, he could not save the father and asked the Grand Chase to find him instead. He told them about the ancient relics having a solid outer casing which made it difficult to defeat them.

Gaikoz's Castle[]

Gerard informed the Grand Chase about Gaikoz threatening to destroy Kanavan before they search Ronan within the castle. According to him, Gaikoz's subordinates died with deep grudges and the Grand Chase must be wary of their swords, but more so to the ones shooting from afar with guns. Lastly, he asked if they could handle the Ghost Samurai who protected Gaikoz.

In the sequel[]

Act 25.1: Closed Street[]

As Rin, Asin, and Edel discussed how the knights from the two kingdoms were abusing authority, Gerard chimed in agreement and urged them to come with him as they would get seized if they stayed any longer in the streets of Kanavan.

Act 25.2: Red Knight[]

Gerard vaguely introduced himself to the three warriors, who were still wary of him, and stressed that not all knights must follow orders. When Edel objected, he learned that she was a Serdin Knight and so he asked why they were in Kanavan.

Gerard was then informed about the soul erosion that was driving the guard knights insane, confirming that they were not committing treason. When Asin questioned how someone like him could talk to the Queen, Gerard revealed that he was not just any knight but the leader of the Ruby Knights.

Act 25.3: Chivalry[]

Realizing that Rin, Asin, and Edel were from the Grand Chase and therefore Elesis' friends, Gerard enlisted their help in meeting the Queen and designated the three as temporary soldiers of the Ruby Knights. They soon came across Frederick, with whom Gerard got into an argument after they were wrongfully accused of treason. He warned Frederick that by being unjust, he was essentially putting all responsibility to the Queen, which infuriated the knight.

After hearing Gerard call himself the Ruby Knights' leader, Vice showed herself alongside Elscud Sieghart much to his surprise. Then the Court Magician ordered Frederick to arrest Gerard for impersonating the real leader of the Ruby Knights along with the trio.

Act 25.4: Gesture for Freedom[]

Kanavanasin

Gerard was still in shock at the appearance of Elscud, who they all thought had disappeared chasing after Kaze'aze. Nevertheless, he asserted that the leader was not someone who would be corrupted as Asin seemed to insinuate.

Gerard was amazed by Asin who managed to steal a key that would get them out of jail. When Rin observed how rowdy the prison had become, Gerard believed the knights were just imprisoning people arbitrarily.

Act 25.5: Storage[]

When Gerard was informed that the enemies intended to use Serdin and Kanavan's knights to cover all of Bermesiah in war, he felt hurt that the former Ruby Knights leader would back such a conspiracy.

Act 25.6: Evil Spirit Eroded With Soul[]

After they defeated the Shadow Drillmon, Asin asked Gerard what to do then and if he knew of any knight they could trust but he told them that the Ruby Knights' base camp was in a different city. Gerard then inquired about Io who came for Edel—introducing herself as a "detective".

Act 25.7: Quick Reunion[]

Although he was skeptical that Io truly had valuable information, Gerard ultimately decided to take her to the Queen. But, to his confusion, the girl asked him which Queen, and eventually learned that Vice had overthrown the real Queen to put Kaze'aze in her place, hence the fake Queen.

They encountered Frederick once again, whom Gerard thought would be stubborn to chase after them instead of the actual monsters, but the knight told him and his friends that they were not the only ones thinking about the country.

Act 25.9: Under the Queen's Name[]

With the Grand Chase finally catching up to the evil schemes of Kaze'aze, Gerard questioned Elscud about why he was with that demon, but the knight remained silent and just left with Kaze'aze.

Epilogue 7.1: Seal in Illusion[]

Gerard advised Queen Anyumena that she must take a rest after dealing with everything that had transpired, and was there for Her Highness as she regretted letting Kaze'aze use her once again.

Act 31.9: Secret Benefactor[]

Following the Grand Chase's decisive victory over Decanee, Gerard met up with Elesis to discuss how their Ruby Knights could not be left out in rebuilding the country despite the bad weather, and that he was told to move out as soon as he received the order. However, he had yet to tell the guild the news about Elscud who had to remain in the Underworld to serve his sentence.

Hearing that she would not give up, Gerard reminded Elesis that she must safely return to the Ruby Knights and that it would take her more than just determination. Concerned over her severely damaged claymore, he stated that it could not be entrusted with their leader's life and proposed that they forge a new one, adding that he knew just the person to ask.

Act 41.1: Disappearance of Mari[]

Following the Grand Chase's decisive victory over Heitaros, Gerard, who was in Serdin with Jason, saw that Elesis had already arrived with her friends, and said they were not the only ones fighting for world peace. Then, he briefed them of the recent invasions by Void creatures which had been occurring all over Aernas while they were away and thought the Dimensional Portal where they came out was going to be another Void invasion.


Trivia[]

  • Based on his background, it is implied that Gerard has a crush on Elesis.
