Gil
CharacterGil is one of the ghouls who run the 6th ward, a former lieutenant of Shachi who guards his turf with open suspicion of outsiders. When Kaneki's group arrives seeking answers about his old leader, Gil meets them with hostility and blunt aggression.
Appearance
Gil is a solidly built man of middling height with medium-length black hair. A distinct blemish sits just above his right nostril.
Personality
Blunt and quick to anger, Gil lashes out at anything that gets under his skin. Beneath that coarse exterior, though, runs a steadfast loyalty to Shachi, the leader he once served.
History
While Kaneki's group hunts for Rize and approaches the 6th ward's leaders for word on Matasaka Kamishiro, the SS-rank prisoner who slipped out of Cochlea during Aogiri's raid, Gil greets Kaneki with contempt, branding him a liar and insisting that the faithful Shachi would have returned to head the ward had he truly escaped.
He later corners Kaneki out on the street, charging that he feigns ignorance about the massacre at the 7th ward's Ghoul Restaurant. Their fight ends with Gil branding Kaneki a deceiver hiding a monstrous nature and alluding to a certain reckless girl without whom Shachi would have been spared, a jab Kaneki reads as a reference to Rize.
