Gemma is first seen at [[Potos Village|Potos]]' pub as mentioned by a young bystander. The mysterious stranger doesn't answer back upon being interacted. It is only when [[Randi]] falls into the [[Mantis Ant]] lair alongside [[Elliott 9Secret of Mana)|Elliott]] that he tries to help defeating the creature by instructing the young lad to look for an opening. After vanquishing the giant insect, Gemma pulls the two boys out of their misery and introduces himself to Randi. The old knight seems intrigued to see the [[Mana Sword]] in the hands of such a young man and finds this troublesome since only the sword can be retrieved by a knight when the world is in peril. He notes that something must be wrong with the holy blade since Randi seems too young to bear such a responsability. The young lad tries to give him the weapon, but Gemma refuses, stating that the sword has lost its power and must be restored and only the one who pulled it free can do that. He then advices the burgeoning hero to visit [[Luka|Sage Luka]] at the [[Water Palace]], as she as protected the neighboring lands for more than two hundred years. Gemma adds that he'll be waiting for him at the fated destination before taking off. | |||

After heading to the Water Palace, the old knight is seen waiting for Randi at the entrance, immediately heading inside after interacting with the hero. While exploring the temple, the young hero seems lost and decides to ask a young maiden Luka’s whereabouts. Gemma reprimands the lad for being so casual and properly introduces Luka to Randi, who is shocked to see a young girl being at least 200 years old. Gemma then informs the sage that monsters are invading villages. Luka replies that she is aware of that since the ebb and flow of water brings me news from around the world. It’s because Mana’s power is growing weak that the young hero was able to remove the sword and when he did, the balance of Mana in this area shifted and made monsters reappear. Luka adds that there are enemies that seek to steal away the power of the legendary blade. By defeating those creatures, Randi can restore the power inside the sword kept inside orbs, just like the one the young lad found upon defeating Mantis Ant. The sage continues by telling Randi to seek the hidden orbs that can power up the blade and find someone that can forge the sword by releasing its stored power. She then wishes Gemma goodbye as he heads out to Pandora to seek an audience with the king and warns him about the [[Empire]]’s schemes to revives the [[Mana Fortress]]. Randi is surprised to hear about the same name mentioned in fairy tales, but Luka reframes it by telling him that the Mana Fortress is real. She adds that the Empire is going to unlock the seals from the world’s eight [[Mana Seeds]], remarking that strangers have already been lurking around the Water Palace. Before leaving, Gemma advises Randi to head for [[Gaia’s Navel]] where he will find [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] that are knowledgeable about weapons. | After heading to the Water Palace, the old knight is seen waiting for Randi at the entrance, immediately heading inside after interacting with the hero.

Gemma is a typical calm and collected seasoned knight who also act as the primary adviser to Randi, along with Luka. His experience in combat proves that he has mastered physical prowess and wisdom through his numerous peregrinations and that his actions are for the most part carefully pondered. He is proven to have leadership skills in numerous occasions, like during the imperial spy incident in his hometown of Tasnica where he gathered soldiers to find the culprit or when he's rallied troop from around the world to fight against the Empire upon the sunken continent emerging. This also shows that he is deeply concerned with the Empire's actions and is aware of the potential implications. He can also be considered well versed in diplomacy, as he successfully gained an audience with the King of Pandora during the kingdom's most dire moments. Finally, he is found to be knowledgeable about various mana lore as he has mentioned being one of Luka's pupil when he was studying the dwindling mana influence in the world. | Gemma is a typical calm and collected seasoned knight who also act as the primary adviser to Randi, along with Luka.

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Gemma's name is also that of the Mana Tree seed introduced in Seiken Densetsu/Final Fantasy Adventure/Sword of Mana/Adventures of Mana, and may also be a reference to the order of knights sworn to protect the seed. | |||
*In all versions, Gemma bears a strong resemblance to [[Bogard]] in both his appearance and role in the story; both were knights in a prior generation, and both pass the torch to the present-day heroes. | |||
