History

Heroes of Mana

“King of the Beastmen of Ferolia. A capable leader who is passionate about his country and people. Beastmen in general have hard feelings towards humans, but this does not seem to apply to Gauser.”

—Notebook

Gauser was introduced in Chapter 2, In the Forest of Beasts, when the crew of the Nightswan came crashing down into Duskmoon Forest. While the five crew members rejoin they are ambushed by beastmen coming from aircrafts. The grunts wants to take them down but the leader of the beastmen, Gauser, ask them why are they here. Roget and crew don't have time to explain themselves much, as a giant Peddan warship sends explosives to the beastmen's capital. Gauser and his mens retreat back to their castle, but they are too late as the entire structure burns away. The Ferolian King goes against his principles and joins the Peddan defectors.

In the next chapter, Roget and crew manages to hold back the Peddan army in the village of Mintas at the southern end of Ferolia. While danger is still brooding in the region, Gauser orders his men to go to the holy city of Wendel to tell the Priest of Light about what happened so far. He officially joins Roget and his team as they depart to warn the other nations of the world.

The emissaries brought to Wendel prove themselves to be useful and they convince the Priest of Light after hearing the tragedy of Ferolia and Laurent.

Gauser comes into the spotlight much later, during chapter 17: Moon's Echoes, where half of Roget's crew infiltrate the northern part of Ferolia to gain access to the Chartmoon Tower a sacred place for the Beastmen and when the Moonstone and its elemental is said to be while the others create a diversion in the southern part of the country. They encounter the Beastman Ghost who guards the holy grounds from anyone who's not a worthy beastman. Gauser manages to trick the ghost into thinking the humans he's traveling with are his slaves, and the party enters the tower. There, they must overcome the trials left by Gauser's ancestors in order to find the Moonstone, but Juhani, a Peddan general and friend of Roget halts their progress. Roget has no other choice than to kill his old friend to reach the Luna, the Mana spirit of the Moon.

After nabbing the elemental, the party rejoins with the other half and head for Lowenburg to get rid of the invaders. They successfully do so, but are surprised to see Inath, the King of Pedda sitting on Gauser's throne. They all realize they've been tricked, as Wendel is currently being overrun by Peddan troops.

Gauser decides to briefly head back to Lowenburg in Chapter 21, Vuscavs in the Trap to help his people with the rebuilding, but quickly joins the crew back after realizing that Esina's mirror was draining the energy of the land.

Gauser is also present during the final confrontation against the Goddess of Doom in the Sea of Chaos, but ultimately decides to stay in Fa'Diel along with Alma, Falcon, Valda, Loki, and Belgar and watches as Roget, Yurchael, Gemière, Qucas, and D'Kelli board the Nightswan to explore the different worlds scattered in the fabric of realms. It is assumed that Gauser is one of the handful of people in Fa'Diel aware of the events that took place during the game, since his soul was not absorbed by Anise's mirror. He ultimately returns to Lowenburg to resume his position as a the King of Ferolia.

Trials of Mana

“King of Ferolia -- The King of Ferolia is the leader of the beastmen and father of Kevin. His awesome strength as a ruler inspired his people to invade human settlements to reclaim their place in the world.”
