Gillesderais heads the First Company among the Dragon Knights and acts as personal guard for Vlad of the Delacroix bloodline. This masked, scissor-wielding Power User serves as a tertiary antagonist in the Six Curses Arc, pursuing Okarun to claim the Pinocchio curse.
A smooth, featureless mask broken only by two eyeholes conceals Gillesderais' whole face. Light-toned hair waves around the temples and forehead. They wear a long, flowing robe or coat with sleeves that finish in dark cuffs, plus close-fitting trousers pushed into tall, glossy dark boots rising to the knee. An ascot sits at the throat above a metal collar and chest plate, and a pair of crisscrossing straps secures an oversized set of scissors against their back.
Gillesderais keeps a composed, formal manner and tight discipline, valuing courtesy and respect even against enemies. They insist they dislike combat and will spare a target who complies, yet once their terms are ignored they grow ruthless at once, even commanding their knights to torture captives. In keeping with the squad's knightly title, they state their name, rank, and loyalty before an opponent and demand the same in return. The calm is a front: they admit to being so tense and high-strung that they cannot help going on the attack once a fight begins. Sure of their power, they found Aira's confidence that she could win merely amusing, and their elitism leads them to rank people by status and scorn the lower class.
Earlier on, Gillesderais led the Dragon Knights against a shaman from an unfamiliar land and an exorcist allied with Seiko, a clash that left the captain seriously wounded.
In the Six Curses Arc, knowing Saint-Germain requires just the Pinocchio curse to draw out the Fairy-Tale Card's true power, Gillesderais and their men hurry to the Super Amusement Park to take it from Okarun ahead of Saint-Germain. Once Blagojević confronts Okarun and Aira by the sea-lion exhibit and Empty Space is cast, the captain steps in, presents the team, and demands both teens' powers. Aira assumes they are behind the recent attacks on her group, but Gillesderais denies any link and offers mercy for surrender, explaining they want only the Turbo Granny power held inside Okarun. When Okarun claims it is gone, they draw their twin giant scissors. They slice Aira's reaching Acrobatic Silky hair with Black Haircutter, pin her down, and force her to defend while the rest of the knights and Blagojević batter Okarun. Learning that Momo and Jiji are captured and that Bamora and Kinta have slipped away, Gillesderais promises to release the friends for a surrender, then orders Blagojević to torture Okarun when he again denies having power. Aira's offer of her own abilities is brushed aside, the captain reminding her that Okarun is the real prize.
The deadlock snaps when the Futakori Barbershop barber Yatagarasu turns up, ridiculing everyone's haircuts. Gillesderais demands his name and blocks Aira's plea to spare him, fixed on ending the fight. Yatagarasu flings several knights away and drops Gillesderais, Blagojević, and the others with one kick. Acknowledging the barber's genuine skill yet mocking him when he slides on the ice, the captain swings their scissors, only to be parried and kicked into a wall. After Yatagarasu spreads Aira's anchored hair as makeshift turf for grip, Gillesderais scoffs, advances, slips, falls, and drops their scissors, then a Shoryuken hurls them upward and splits their mask.

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....

Five Bleach female characters, ranked and settled. Yoruichi sits at number five, the spot nobody expects, and our number one is an Arrancar with a soft heart....
