Gaspar Uzuki, known in Japanese as Gasparl (ガスパール, gasupāru), is one of the three Sages of Shevat and grandfather of Yui Uzuki. He is seen as an old man with a thick grey beard, and a long pointy nose.
Biography[]
He was once an expert weapons artist who fought in the Shevat-Solaris War on the frontlines.[1]
Following the war, after the Shevat Elders are overthrown due to their part in the scheme with Solaris, Gaspar stood behind Zephyr in her bid to accede the throne. However, the Shevat Elders' betrayal left a lasting mark on his faith in Shevat, so, like the other Sages, he made a pledge to go into hiding.[1]
At the age of 560, Gaspar had his eldest son, who went on to become Yui's father.
After Gaspar's granddaughter, Yui Uzuki, was born, he took pride in her martial arts skills.[2]
During Solaris's third invasion of Shevat, Gaspar headed a guerilla fighting corps on the surface. In 9992, he met Jesiah Blanche, who joined his group.[3]
During the invasion of Shevat, Gaspar had a showdown with the Guardian Angel Hyuga Ricdeau, and proved himself Hyuga's equal in combat. With Hyuga accepting defeat, Solaris made a tactical withdrawal.[4]
Later, Hyuga used the escape route he used to came back to Shevat in order to tryst with Gaspar's granddaughter Yui, who he met during the invasion and fell in love. During these secret visits, Hyuga had debates with Gaspar, influencing the young man's ideas over what his weapon should and shouldn't be used for, as well leading Hyuga to question his own motives in battle.[4]
In 9994, Gaspar trained[4] his new grandson-in-law Hyuga[5] in the martial arts, focusing on his spiritual and physical control.[2]
Xenogears[]
In Shevat, Gaspar helps removes the Limiters in Fei Fong Wong and his allies.
Eventually he does go to the surface in order to help the other two Sages, Taura Melchior and Isaac Balthasar reconstruct Fei's nearly destroyed Gear Weltall.
Etymology[]
Like the other two sages, his name references one of the three biblical wisemen that visited Jesus Christ shortly after his birth.
Trivia[]
- Though it is never directly mentioned, Gaspar is implied to be one of the people Karellen infused with life-extending nanomachines after the war.
- Like with Lucca, there are three characters named Gasper, Balthasar, and Melchior that appear in Chrono Trigger. Unlike Lucca, the similarity is in name and status only.
