Personality
Galant is a player of SAO with an undying friendship with his friends and an undying love for his wife, Guinevere. He is usually depicted as being serious, calm; even in very dangerous situations. He beleived that the power from the bond of his friends would give them the strength to overcome any situation and challenge.

When his whole guild was killed by Laughing Coffin and he was unfairly sent to prison, he completely changed his personality. With just two goals in mind: clearing the game and his thrirst for vengeance. Due to this, he became reckless and even violent, but still remains his good will and his serious and warrior-like personality. He also lost confidence in himself, blaming himself for the lose of his friends. He hid this pain, with his belief "players should not gather themselves in a guild". Due to this, he became a solo player so that he could not endanger anyone anymore.

When he met KoB (now the name of Kirito's guild, conformed by principle characters from the arcs), their metting caused discussions and alliances for common benefit. Slowly, he began to gain aceptance among the guild, but he never wanted to join the guild. He also had a rivalry with Kirito, because the fight in the same level, thought they have fought alongside each other against bosses. Kirito sees Galants's potential as a leader and has asked him to become one numerous times, but Galant denied stating that he does not wish to be responsable for others lives, due he had aleady failed as one. Yet he still accompanies him and seems to become one of his closest allies and friends alongside Asuna, Klein, Agil, Leafa and Sinon.

They entered, Belphegor apeared as the lights whent on. It was a large beast.

At the night Galant was resting on his bed, as Guinevere went inside, dresed with her nightgrown. She sited on Galant's legs and stared kissing him, he did the same. As they touched each other, and they end making love.

Two months later, the frontlines are in floor 26. Galant participaded in numerous counts of misions of the army. He also obteined Brave Shield. Galant leaded the Royal Knights in teh frontlines ans are the best warriors of The Army. After the boss battle of the 25th floor, ALC falled back to the firts floor. So, Kibaou went to sing a contract of division of them two, so they could continue the next floors. On the mission they were attacked by Pictons, a common monster of that floor. The Royal Knights apeared on the battle and saved most of the players and kibau, and travelled to Londinium, a near city where the base of The army was.

On the dinner, Kibaou was there and held an small conversation in which he revealed the apparition of Cerdic, An unkown being in the north, that began it's crusade towards the south with hundreds of pictons. Then he asked the to speak to Galant alone. They first refused, yet Kibaou would nots sing the contract if so. So they all retired. Kibaou revealed the new mission for the Royal Knights: they would have to go to the north to rescue Thinker one of The Army's leaders that were on the north of a mission. Galant did not wished to accept the mission, but he had no choise. The would have go north and face Cerdic's army. The new has bad recived for all the members of the guild, and caoused a discusion between Galant and Lance, yet, they decided to go. The next day, they went to the mission.

Two days later they arrived to a small  village in the north surrounded by walls where Thinker was. They were recived and informed the villagers of the new problem and decided to return to Londanium. Yet some of them were agianst levaving they had no choice. Galant comanded Percival and Tristan to travel the area for sings of the enemy, as the rest of them prepared the wagons for travelling south. After finishing, Yuriel, the second in comand ofered a food to the Royal Knights. during it they shared a brif conversation with thinker that told them that Kibaou send them in place of other squad of the guild, with the objective of not loosing more lives for their guild. Most of their reactions were of hatred towards him. Thinker promised that they shall be free as soon as they got to the city.

The conversation would have continued if  Corbatz, a litunant form ALC would have not called the wall. They all got there, a wounded player carring a small child wasl walknig towards the village. Galant commanded the wall opened several times, but Corbatz refused. Galant punched him in the face and jumped the wall. Lance Dagonet and Galahad followed him. They got to the players: two female players. One a beast temar with a little dragon and other blue heared girl. They gave potion to her, but as soon as she woke up, told them that it was a trap. Several arrows fell from the sky as Lance and Dagonet falled back to the village with the girls on their arms, as Glant and Glahad covered them. Several pictons coruned towards them. Glant could  manage a battle with them, yet Galahad was easily bested by one of them. In that moment the monster spoke, impresioning Galahad. It would have killed him, if Gawn, Guinevere, Bors, Percival and Tristan would have not apeared and kiled the remaining pictons. One of them was left alive, and tortured him for information, The picton revealed Cerdic was the one that gave them AI, and that was why he had reapidly formaed an army of them. It also revealed that if they were kileld they losed their AI. It then asked if they would spare his life, Galant told him that he begged the wrong man, as Tristan killed the monster.

They started the jorney to the south-east, acording for what the recognition players said. Upon trip, one of the female players woke up. Galant and Lance went to question her. She first seemed to be of bad manners, yet Lance made her change her mind. Her nema was Elicia, she had been captured in the north, in searhc of the legendary katana YōkaiOuRyu no Katana, and was captured by the Pictons alongside the little girl and send to the village as living bait. Galant let her stay with them suddenly Percival apeared, he carried bad news. They acompanied him to the fist wagon, just 100 meters from them, a trench and a wall had been dug. Galant reveals that Cerdic had always intended to trap them on the ridge.

The situation is dire as temperatures plummet on the Ridge. Cerdics' army assembles on the Ridge, and Lance wishes to attack them, Galant cautions him against it. He devises a plan for a small group to attack and hopefully kill the King of Monsters, stating he has become "overly bold". That night, a small force led by Galant manage to penetrate Cerdics' poor defences and gain entry to his tent. They discover the body of a false player crucified body and no sign of Cerdic. They realize it has been a set-up and Elicia is injured in the escape back to the players'encampment. After visiting a recovering Elicia in her tent, Galant and Lacence enter a heated argument with each other. Lance smashes a frozen jar of ice over Galant' head which causes a brawl between the two, but the fight is broke up by Dagonet and Gawn.

Galant later prepares the camp for the frozen night to come and makes sure that everyone is sheltered. He accopnaies Bors to find his brother, yet, due the storm, there is no chuch if what then could do. they fall back to the wagon and sheres ther warm with Guinevere after she convinces him that he will be warmer by doing so.

Galant went outside the next they, finding seven people had been frozen to death, but non of the Royal Knights did so.He forms a new plan after the snowstorm. The players kill the Pictons guarding the wall discovering only a small number of them, on the other side. They fight against the mand defeat them

Galant bridges the trench with the wagons, and the Rebels successfully defeat the Romans on the other side. When Cerdic and his monsters arrive to assess the situation, Galant surprise attacks them by hurling spears and firing arrows at them from the wall (They did not recognize Cerdic, just the human-like monsters). Galant then states that they shall see themselves far from the ridge.

Tehy continued moving south the entire day, with two squadrons of enemies that followed them. On the second attack,  The Royal Knights notice Cerdic did it for norrowing sidtance between them two, not for killing them. Due tiredness, they decided to camp near, meanwhile Galant send Percival and Dagonet to hutnig food, and Tristan and Bors to research the area, meanwhile the rest search a good place and question Corbatz for do not helping them on the battle.



Once they found a place, Gawn, Lance, Guinevere, Elicia and Galahad Thinker and Yuriel  acompanied them to see the liteunat. Gawn inmediatly questioned him about the command he gave to him, but Corbatz said that he recived no command from him. Gawn said that he told a soldier with a scar on his left cheek. Corbatz said it was Tetsu, suddenly he apeared back of them. They galant threatened him to lower his grade of soldier, but the soldier them rushd to hit him, suddenly lance interfered and sevely beated him up. After this Thinker decreased his grade, and the soldier left. Silica apeared and asked Galant where was "Sir" Dagonet. He replied he went of a hut with Percival and he shall be back. He ten told his friend to relax and take rest, and eat. After shaking hands with Lance ofering him his gratitude for saving him.
