Gazel Apt Ageila

"My name is Gazel Apt Ageila. I am a holy knight of Jiordal, the Dragon God's Country; and one of the Eight Gods' Selected, honored with the title of Saint!"

- Gazel to Anos Voldigoad

Gazel Apt Ageila (ガゼル・アプト・アゲイラ) is a Holy Knight of Jiordal.

Appearance
Gazel is described as a bald and muscular man with a good physique. He wears a mantle and armor over it.

Personality
As a Holy Knight of Jiordal, Gazel is a firm believer in the Gods and cannot tolerate those who blaspheme against the Gods, as was demonstrated during his quarrel with Anos.

He is shown to be proud of his strength and skill, but has shown to overestimate his own abilities and underestimate his enemies, especially if he deems them heretics.

Selection Trial Arc
Gazel appeared after Anos was welcomed to the Gods' Age Science Temple Everastoanzetta, as Ahid was explaining the Selection Judgement to Anos, who proclaimed that he did not believe in Eques, which Gazel took objection too. Gazel wanted to fight Anos but Arcana put a stop to it, since they were located in the Holy Thrones room, which had a pact of non-aggression imposed on it, thus forcing Gazel to reluctantly yield.

After Anos and his group moved away from the Holy Thrones room, Gazel followed them, as he continued his quarrel with Anos, who wanted to leave but Gazel grabbed his shoulder. However, Anos threw him to the wall, injuring him and causing him to bleed, thus enraging him.

Gazel moved to summon the god he made a pact with, but Anos pierced his throat before he could complete the chant. Anos then stepped back and launched Jio Graze to incinerate Gazel. However, Gazel was able to summon Nutella De Hiana, the Guardian Goddess of Regeneration, who healed Gazel's wounds and resurrected him.

Anos was able to quickly defeat Nutella, by combining Jirasd and Gagalia, which overloaded Nutella's regeneration abilities and made her explode due to excessive regeneration.

Gazel invoked Geoseria, the God of Light, to possess him in order to acquire his power, as well as revealing his Divine Spear Behetenos, which he used to attack Anos at light-speed. However, Anos quickly overwhelmed him and destroyed Geoseria inside of him, to Gazel's utter shock.

Gazel then attempted to retreat but was intercepted by Arcana, who cut off his hand and took his Allied Bead, in accordance with Ahid's directives. Gazel was shocked by Ahid's betrayal and questioned him about it. Ahid replied that he received a prophecy from Eques, in which he would inherit Gazel's will and the power of his gods, leaving him dazed and confused. As Gazel was full of despair, Ahid told him to repent to Eques, as Gazel committed suicide by stabbing himself with his own sword. However, Arcana secretly used Syrica to make sure he could reincarnate.
