Gale Gibson

Gale Gibson (ゲイル・ギブスン) is a student at Freedom Academy and a Summoned Otherworlder. He currently resides in the Jura Tempest Federation.

Appearance
He has a great expression and is finely handsome and is a well-toned boy. He is the tallest among Shizu's students.

Personality
Gale as the oldest among other kids shown to be quite calm and mature for his age. He is quite cautious and observant as he was immediately suspicious of Rimuru upon meeting him. As the oldest, he acts as the voice of reason for the other Otherworlder children and is noted to take up a older brother role over them.

Background
Gale was summoned to the Central World by the Western Nations but was considered a failure because he couldn't manifest a Unique Skill, he was doomed to the same fate as many other summoned children due to Magicule overflow, and was sent to the Freedom Academy to live out the remainder of his life alongside similar cases like him,

In the academy's Class S, he alongside its other students – Kenya Misaki, Ryota Sekiguchi, Alice Rondo, and Chloe Aubert– were entrusted in the care of the retired adventurer and legendary champion Shizu who was motivated to save them from their fates. After Shizu took off one last time to pursue Leon's whereabouts, the kids were assigned other teachers in the meanwhile but rejected them all, eventually becoming known as a class of troublemakers. Following Shizu's death, Rimuru became their new teacher and Rimuru challenged all of them to a spar, and when it came his turn he used a magic bullet spell but the attack was absorbed by Rimuru.

Eventually, Rimuru took him and the other members of Class S to Ulgrasia Republic so that they could form pacts with greater spirits to calm their rampaging energy. Once at the Dwelling of Spirits, the domain of demon lord Lamrys, Gale prayed at the alter and merged with an artificial greater earth elemental with his magicule levels dropped to where it no longer endangered his life. When Rimuru's time with them comes to an end and he leaves to go home, he gave him and the other children new clothes sewn by Shuna. Sometime later, during the events of Territorial Seizure, Gale and his classmates from Class S get invited to Tempest and participate in nation's Founding Festival, permanently moving there later to continue their education.
