History Characters / PandoraHeartsMainCharacters

* HurtingHero: He hides his remorse like it's nobody's business while trying his hardest to protect his companions in order to not lose anyone else.

* {{Bishonen}}: As the female students in Lutwidge and the female nobles in the Isla Yura's party can attest to. He's uncomfortable with it.

* {{Bishonen}}: Even the author points this out once.

* MistakenForGay: Due to a complicated incident involving a yuri romance novel, a confused and shocked Sharon thought Alice was a "Sapphist" (a dated term for a lesbian). After the ShipSinking with Alice x Oz occurred (see ShipSinking on the main page), much of the fandom guessed that Alice may have been gay after all, and others generally say she was asexual.

%%* BunnyEarsLawyer

* DeadpanSnarker: He has a habit of beating people down with his witty quips, notably Reim and Gil. Even Sharon isn't immune.Though, this usually results in his lady beating him half to death.
* DealWithTheDevil: At least twice, first when he made an illegal contract with Albus and again when he offered the Intention of the Abyss ANYTHING in exchange for granting his wish. Neither turned out well.

* EccentricMentor: To Gilbert, and to a lesser degree, Oz.

%%* IncurableCoughOfDeath

* PeekABangs: He only has one eye, so he covers the empty socket with his hair.

* SlasherSmile: I'm sorry, have you seen his grin? [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/pandorahearts/images/3/37/Ch13_Break_Gil.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140410124835]]

* ShanaClone: Not a blatant example, but the traits are all there. She's a short {{Tsundere}} with long hair who refers to Oz as her manservant and property. However, having to survive on her own within the Abyss as well as her lack of memories and knowledge about the outside world seem to have contributed to her brash personality, and as she becomes more confident in herself and others, her {{Tsundere}} tendencies start to relax. She is also rarely physically violent toward Oz and is more often than not quite affectionate to him, which he perceives as her being honest with her emotions.

* BuxomIsBetter: In one drama CD, he declares that he can never get along with a man that doesn't like big boobs. HilarityEnsues when Sharon overhears him.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: While under the name of Kevin Legnard he was the descendant of a lineage of knights serving under Lord Roman Sinclair; who was tragically slaughterd alongside his family (and many of Kevin's friends) while Kevin had an outing with his youngest daughter. His [[ItsAllMyFault guilt]] over the event led him to abandon the Sinclair girl and form a contract with the Chain Albus the White Knight in order to change the past. He offered up a total of 116 people to this chain and became known as "The Red-Eyed Ghost", before being forcibly dragged with Albus straight into The Will of the Abyss's chambers. After having his eye torn out he managed to strike a deal with the Will to change the past. But when he returned to the real world 30 years had passed and although his wish was fulfilled, his killing spree was never undone and the family had died anyway; this time with no survivors. At the start of the series mentions of it is a big MiseryTrigger for him.

* ActOfTrueLove: After the reveal that Oswald was Gilbert's real master all along and that Oz is actually a Chain possessing Jack's body, Oz believes Gilbert must hate him now. However, Gilbert ''burns off his own arm'' to break free from Oswald's control, betrays the Baskervilles to rescue OZ and then reaffirms that he wants to be by Oz's side no matter what. Oz cries TearsOfJoy at seeing that Gilbert's devotion to him goes so deep that it overrides his loyalty to Oswald.

* MoreThanMindControl: Gilbert's utter devotion to Oz is in part due to [[{{Brainwashing}} getting brainwashed]] into being completely loyal to whatever master he serves and the resulting compulsion to protect his master at all costs. After the reveal that Glen was Gilbert's real master all along, not Jack and that Oz is actually a Chain possessing Jack's body, Oz believes Gilbert must hate him now and their friendship is over. However, Gilbert shows that his loyalty to Oz is real by ''burning off his own arm'' to break free from Glen's control and reaffirming that he doesn't care that Oz is a Chain or that he's possessing the body of the man he hates the most, Gilbert ''wants'' to be by Oz's side no matter what.

* PsychoSupporter: At one point Vincent exploits Gilbert's CrazyJealousGuy side to the fullest and cultivates it to the point where Gilbert expresses a desire to murder anyone who could possibly get closer to Oz than him. This is especially accented in regards to [[BrattyHalfPint Alice,]] who he actually ''did'' almost kill before deciding otherwise. Gilbert has also tried to kill [[AbusiveParents Xai Vessalius]] several times but has stopped himself repeatedly because he knows Oz wouldn't want his father dead, no matter how terrible a father Xai was. Eventually Gilbert grows out of his "poisonous" side.

* PoisonousFriend: At one point Vincent exploits Gilbert's CrazyJealousGuy side to the fullest and cultivates it to the point where Gilbert expresses a desire to murder anyone who could possibly get closer to Oz than him. This is especially accented in regards to [[BrattyHalfPint Alice,]] who he actually ''did'' almost kill before deciding otherwise. Gilbert has also tried to kill [[AbusiveParents Xai Vessalius]] several times but has stopped himself repeatedly because he knows Oz wouldn't want his father dead, no matter how terrible a father Xai was. Eventually Gilbert grows out of his "poisonous" side.

* VitriolicBestBuds: With Gil. They bicker constantly, with her insulting him frequently and forcing him to do things at her request like buying food. Thier relationship started on an especially bad note, too, but it softens up overtime and eventually it becomes clear that she's come to care about him and see him as a close friend.

%%* SlasherSmile
* SourOutsideSadInside: She acts like an obnoxious brat because she's terribly lonely from spending so much time trapped in the Abyss without memories of who she is and no one to care for her. She starts growing out of this attitude after she becomes closer to Oz and Gilbert.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to the Intention of the Abyss' Girly Girl. Alice is an abrasive and reckless tomboy while her twin sister behaves like a graceful and polite lady when out of her crazy state.
