== Biography==
=== Early Life ===
As a Golden Forest Temple priest, Gizzida is descended from the Sky people and has lived for several decades. Similar to the other priests, Gizzida accumulated the characteristics of the Sky people by extracting Nigak from a divine stone. 
He served as En-Ishb prior to seizing power as Galtir. Gizzida is known to be remarkably skilled and powerful with Nigak, being able to create a home out of water, a feat unknown to any other priests. 
=== A Lowly Mud Person ===
Searching for new offerings for the temple ritual, Galtir spots Reniae for sale in Elde Island. With Reniae, they continue accumulating slaves at several stops until they gather nine other girls. 
=== The Spring Festival ===
Gizzida attempts to halt Reniae from beginning her menstrual cycle to prevent her from participating in the Spring Festival. After Reniae escapes, Gizzida defeats Galtir Kiros and emerges victory as the new Galtir. 
=== The New Galtir ===
After killing Kiros with Armanu's finger, Gizzida establishes himself as Galtir in the following years of Reniae's absence. He continues maintaining the rituals of the Golden Forest. Tensions between the realists and fundamentalists have decreased since Kiros's death. 
=== Reniae's Return ===
Upon meeting Reniae in the forest, Gizzida deactivates her brand. Embracing her, Gizzida proclaims his love for her, and is vehemently rebuked by Reniae for cursing her with FIre Nigak over the Galtir Kiro's brand three years ago. Reniae tells Gizzida that she will forgive him if he apologizes for cursing her and lifts the Nigak to grant her freedom. Gizzida apologizes but refuses to remove the Nigak, telling Reniae she no longer holds his trust after forsaking her promise of returning in four days. Ignoring her pleas, Gizzida solemnly tells her he will remove the Nigak once he restores honor to the Sky People and ascends to their ranks. infuriated, Reniae slaps Gizzida and attracts the attention of his attendants, upon which she learns that Gizzida became Galtir three years ago to fulfill his promise to Reniae. 
Reniae pledges her loyalty to Gizzida. After Paraskie, a priestess, attempts to assassinate Gizzida as a follower of Kiros, Gizzida orders Reniae accompany him at all times. Reniae assists Gizzida throughout the day, and guards him while he sleeps. When it is Reniae's turn to sleep, Gizzzida is vexed by the Northerner in her dreams, during which she fervidly utters Kun's name.
=== War ===
As a fundamentalist, Gizzida plans to eradicate the Northern Tribes and burn the sacred tree to return to the heavens. Believing that Kun despises Reniae, Gizzida sends her on a mission with Telkos to the Northern mountains to assassinate the new king of the Northern tribes as a suicide mission. Gizzida learns of Reniae's failure to complete her mission and her choice to stay and become the queen of the Northland beside Kun and travels to force her to return to the Golden Forest. Gizzida shows Reniae that he can use nigak in the Northland, something earlier believed impossible. He successfully forces Reniae to sacrifice herself to save Kun and the Northland people from him and she returns with him to the Golden Forest. Gizzida then goes to war with the help of the Southern kingdoms against the Northland. The Northland meets them on the Gana Plains and wins the war against the Golden Forest priests and priestesses and the Southland kingdoms. 
Gizzida retreats to the Golden Forest once he realizes the war will not be won, leaving the Southland soldiers to fend for themselves against the Northlanders. After returning to the Golden Forest, he hunts down Reniae who has escaped with the plan to burn down the tree Armanu. He finds Reniae just as she is about to burn down Armanu and they fight as she uses nigak to burn the forest down. Kun arrives just in time to watch Gizzada stab Reniae and Gizzida fights Kun as well. The fight ends with Reniae using the last of her strength to kill Gizzada with a fallen branch. This is revealed to be a branch from Armanu, thus making Reniae the new Galtir which then ends Gizzida's tyrranical hold over Reniae. He lifts the nigak to fulfill Reniae's last wish. Gizzida dies trying to convince Reniae that he was in love with her even though he tortured her and tried to kill her multiple times throughout the years. 
=== Aftermath ===
It is revealed in a story told by Southland people that the priests and priestesses of the Golden Forest were not descended from Kata, the Six Winged God, and Armanu but from Armanu and the Man-Eating Eagle. The children of the Man-Eating Eagle were as beautiful as Armanu and the Man-Eating Eagle tricked Kata into bestowing his powers upon his offspring in order to destroy Kata's true children, the people of the Northland. Gizzida's fundamentalist ideology is then proven insignificant and he fought and died for nothing because they were not, in fact, the true sky people that would ascend to the heavens. 
== Personality ==
Like nearly all descendants of Sky People, Gizzida harbors disdain for humans. Although he is initially taciturn with Reniae, he is quickly drawn to her cleverness and humour to the point he begins helping Reniae with her chores and protecting her from the Galtir.
Gizzida is relatively calm and unmoved by most matters, except when he sees others killing animals. In rarer moments he expresses sorrow when it comes to Reniae, as he wept when they were reunited in the Forest. 
==Physical Appearance==
Gizzida has waist-length golden hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. He is of tall stature with a slender frame. Gizzida is considered to be extraordinarily beautiful, even compared to the other descendants of Sky People whom are known for their exquisite beauty.
