Douglas Gray
CharacterDouglas Gray was the general commanding Galzburg's Galzforce, and earlier the officer who oversaw its finest soldier, Douglas Bullet. A self-serving figure from Bullet's backstory, he played father to the young warrior only to betray him once the war was won.
Appearance
Gray surfaces solely as a mentioned figure within Douglas Bullet's history, and his likeness is never actually shown.
Personality
Self-interest drove nearly everything Gray did. He leaned on Bullet to advance his own standing, putting on the role of a caring father while feeling little genuine attachment to the boy. The instant Bullet's power was judged too dangerous, that pretense fell away and Gray moved against him.
History
Gray began as a commander of the Galzforce during Galzburg's unending war, with the young Bullet placed under his charge. As that soldier rose to become the army's most decorated fighter and pushed the conflict toward victory, Gray was elevated to general and grew close to him, dangling the promise of a comfortable senior post. Thirty-three years before the present, the Galzforce won. Gray then chose to eliminate Bullet, judging his strength a threat to his own position, but the attempt failed completely; Bullet killed him and destroyed the whole of the Galzforce.
