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]] that he tries to help defeat 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 the sword can only 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. | Gemma is first seen at [[Potos Village|Potos]]' pub as mentioned by a young bystander.

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.

*Gemma's name is also that of the Mana Tree seedling introduced in the first game, and may also be a reference to the order of knights sworn to protect the seedling. | |||
*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. | |||
