## Biography

### General

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Gustavo faced a life-altering situation during a southern epidemic that led to the construction of the wall. Reluctantly thrown beyond the wall's borders, he discovered a community adept at using the powerful DMT. Initially unfamiliar with the technology, Gustavo embarked on a journey of learning and eventually entered DMT races.

His initial season was marked by setbacks, but Gustavo's determination fueled him to refine his DMT skills. In the second season (2026-2027), he emerged as a dominant force, winning 12 out of 13 races and establishing himself as a formidable contender.

### Military Leadership and Ascent to Power (2028-2030)

Gustavo's trajectory took a pivotal turn when he joined the military. His DMT skills, coupled with innovative tactics, made him a formidable military strategist. The Battle of the Ascension in 2030 marked a significant military engagement, resulting in his leadership ascent after Donna Tartt's death.

Assuming leadership, Gustavo faced internal conflicts, notably with Donna Tartt's children. The Battle of the Ascension became a turning point, known as the Battle of the Ascension, where Gustavo led an offensive against Josi, securing his leadership.

Establishing The Golden Squad, Gustavo selected Beatriz and Renan as key members. This elite unit played pivotal roles in major conflicts, including the Massacre of Mafra's Interior and subsequent wars against neighboring kingdoms.

### Strategic Brilliance and Legacy (2030 onward):

Gustavo's strategic brilliance was showcased in numerous battles, each marked by innovative DMT usage and unconventional tactics. His victories against King Charles I and King Duno de Catre solidified his reputation.

The wall community now recognizes Gustavo not only as a military strategist but as their Emperor. His legacy is marked by the resilience of the wall against external threats and the enduring impact of the Golden Squadron. As the leader of this elite force, Gustavo continues to navigate the complexities of wall politics and warfare, ensuring the community's safety and prosperity.

## Relationships

### Donna Tartt

#### 2026

After Gustavo's biggest failure in the DMT racing season, he found himself compelled to change direction. Donna Tartt, who was already in conversation with him at the time, suggested that he continue in the following season, which he did not. Gustavo began accompanying Donna to diplomatic meetings, and she liked having his company since she was often alone, a fact she didn't mind. The relationship between the two started to become very close, and by 2026, Donna and Gustavo embarked on a secretive relationship due to Donna's age of 56 and Gustavo's age at the time being 24 to 25.
During this time, until December 2028, the two maintained a relationship hidden from the public eye, and their activities with Gustavo did not interfere with Donna's duties as a community leader. She was known for being very serious and authoritative in her interactions with people, a trait also present in her leadership role.

#### 2028

Despite her usual demeanor, Donna revealed a different, caring, and gentle side to Gustavo through their hidden relationship. She showed him her natural, imperfect self.

In December, Gustavo and Donna were seen together in an affectionate manner, prompting them to publicly acknowledge their relationship due to the circulating rumors. A month later, in January, they officially married without any ceremony or celebration.

#### 2030

The marriage between the two lasted until November 2030, as Donna passed away due to stomach issues. After Donna Tartt's death, Gustavo was never the same. Rumors circulated about him experiencing anger outbursts even before his relationship with Tartt. Now, as a military leader, moments of frustration or daily occurrences trigger explicit displays of anger over minor mistakes made by his soldiers.

Original sources claim that, in her final moments, Donna asked her husband to end her life, not wanting the memories they shared to be overshadowed by the suffering she was enduring. Gustavo started to resemble her in various aspects, and it's crucial to note that without the events he experienced with Donna Tartt, the known history of the Emperor would never have existed.

### Beatriz Branco

Beatriz Branco was the first person Gustavo saw when he entered the walls. Initially, their relationship was normal, like any other friendship in the Commonwealth. However, over time, they started spending more time together despite their differences. Beatriz was shy and preferred solitude, avoiding interactions with others. In contrast, Gustavo was more extroverted. He introduced her to some skills in DMT, and as time passed, they both helped each other improve in DMT.

For more than 20 years, Gustavo and Beatriz became very close, evolving into best friends. Beatriz trusted Gustavo with her life, and he reciprocated the sentiment. They fought in wars and battles together, always supporting each other. Bia offered advice, while Gustavo sought her opinions on various matters. They developed unique signals to communicate when something wasn't right.

#### 2037

In 2037, Gustavo and Beatriz officially started dating, and a year later, they got married. However, Gustavo was transparent about still harboring thoughts about his previous wife, Donna Tartt, whom he never fully got over. As time passed, Gustavo struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts. Beatriz made every effort to support him, consistently standing by his side and actively participating in community meetings where Gustavo was expected.

After Gustavo attempted suicide in 2039, Beatriz felt a mix of anger and sadness, but she never abandoned him.

#### 2043

In 2043, Gustavo and Beatriz welcomed a daughter into their lives. The arrival of their child brought about positive changes, strengthening their relationship and providing a renewed sense of purpose

They lived their lives normally until 2063, when Gustavo passed away. Beatriz, until those fateful days, had never been the same. His absence left an indelible void, and Beatriz found herself grappling with the weight of depression. What compounded the sorrow was the absence of Gustavo's support, a pillar that had crumbled, leaving Beatriz to navigate the storm alone.

In the aftermath, Beatriz's daughter, Laís, took on the role of a comforting anchor. Despite battling her own descent into sorrow due to the loss of her father, Laís devoted herself to helping her mother overcome the shadows of depression. The connection between them deepened as they leaned on each other for strength, creating a unique bond forged in the crucible of shared grief.

Gustavo's presence lingered, a specter daring both mother and daughter to face the challenges life threw at them. Beatriz, in mourning, chose a path of solitude, never seeking companionship again. Her heart forever reserved for the man who had been her rock.
