In reality, he controls the Alliance from the shadow collaborating with the Cult of Diablos to destroy Mitsugoshi Company. He was the fiancée of Yukime.

Gettan was convinced by the philosophy "If you don't want anything robbed from you, you have to rob from others", even he treats his subordinates with utter contempt and will kill them should they fail him.

When he was young, Gettan was a brave man wanting only to protect those he held dear. However, what held him down was his immense pride which became nothing short of a curse for him because his inability to accept his own weakness causes him to make reckless and stupid decisions, including lashing out and trying to kill his own fiancée.

## Chronology

### Tragic Past

Gettan, the son of the Dire Wolves' Elder, rescued Yukime and her tribes also slaughtered their rival Beastkin tribe attackers who invaded her village when he was 17 years old. Gettan and Yukime fell in love ever since then. The Spirit Fox and Dire Wolf tribes chose to form an alliance to better defend themselves against the upcoming war by having Yukime and Gettan get married which is something both of them were happy to comply. However, Yukime had to reach the age of 15 before they could officially get married.

At some point during the war had occurred, Gettan was approach by the Cult of Diablos organization and they made a deal with Gettan that if his Dire Wolf and Yukime's Spirit Fox tribe swore allegiance to the Cult, they will protect them from the clan war. When Gettan was in despair that made his personality suddenly craves for power, he accepts the invitation and obtain the "red pills" with the intention of protecting his tribe and lover tribe and trying to make Yukime's mother to join the Cult. But Yukime's mother refused and tries to stop him leading Gettan to murdering her.

It was then village was wiped out by an attack by a band of thieves led by the Cult of Diablos because they want to obtain their beastmen's experimental body and both tribes fell victim, with only Yukime and Gettan the only survivors. While Yukime tried to comfort her fiancée, Gettan pushed Yukime away and revealed that he tried to save their tribes by gaining aid from a Cult and revealing the fact that he was the one who kill her mother. Yukime tried to flee but unfortunately, Gettan chased after her and brutally attacked her which left a slashed marks on her backs as he furious that Yukime refuses the Cult's offer to join forces who took the same attitude as her mother.

However, before Gettan could continue the assault by finishing Yukime, a mysterious figure suddenly appear and intervened him and annihilating all the invaders. He tried to fight back but ended up losing him because the figure slashes his eyesight also lost both eyes due to mysterious man's attack and robbing both of his eyes as the figure tear out of it, making him blind and decides to flee from him. After that, Gettan, who survived, took revenge on those who took something from him and cooperated with the Cult.

## Powers & Abilities

Gettan was possessed stronger physical strength and magical power than other beastkin which made him possibly stronger above the "Second Children" within the Cult. When he as young he was considered the strongest of his tribe, the Great Wolves. Despite being blind, he is still a powerful enough to go one-on-one with John Smith.

Also, he uses red pill to make himself more powerful and become a Third Awakening.

## Relationships

### **Yukime**

Yukime was Gettan's fiancé. However, their bond was shattered after he revealed that he was behind the attack on their village and was about to kill her in anger had the "Stylish Thief Slayer" not appeared. Afterward, Yukime became obsessed with getting revenge on him and, years later, confronted him at the climax of the *Great Trading Company Conflict*. However, he still defeated her and almost killed her yet again. Fortunately, "John Smith" came to her rescue and proceeded to beat him to death. In his final moments, Gettan was remorseful for how things turned about between them and requested John to take care of her.

### John Smith

Gettan actually met "*John*" long ago when the latter prevented him from harming Yukime. Ever since his fateful run-in with him as a "*Stylish Bandit Slayer*", he constantly has phantom pains and rubs the scarred eyelids over his empty eye sockets. Since then, Gettan became deeply envious of that man's power, wishing he had it so that he could save those he loved.

Present day, the two met again but both sides don't recognize each other. Due to how he seemingly came to Yukime's aid, Gettan believed John Smith was Yukime's new lover much to his anger and jealousy. Gettan tried to attack John to prevent Yukime from being stolen from him again only to be outmatched by the masked man.

It's only after being defeated that Gettan realized that John and the individual that bested him years ago were one and the same. Accepting death, Gettan entrusted Yukime's safety to John.

### Garter

Even though Gettan was hired to work for Garter, his behavior towards him was not like a boss-subordinate relationship.

### Mordred

In the Web Novel, Gettan met with Mordred when the Cult of Diablos are trying to capture the Spirit Foxes and the Great Wolves tribe for the experiment and he forced him to join the Cult.

## Trivia
