The Shining Force: Gyan

Name: Gyan
Japanese: Gaian (translated: Gyan)
Race: Dwarf
Class: Gladiator (GLDT)
Promotion: None

You’ll meet Gyan the Gladiator in Moun, after Frayja has helped you get in and you have fought off the monsters. When you tell him that the tunnel has been cleared and he can return home to Ribble (remember the little boy who was worried about his father?) he decides that his family can wait and that your cause is more important.

Although he has a low movement, his defence is excellent and more than makes up for it!

Gyan’s Headquarters Quote:
“Dwarves are tough. Put me in the front of the force!”

The graphs below show the growth rate of Gyan’s statistics throughout the game, starting at level 1 (level 1 stats are based on growth rate if the character joined at any other level). These are adapted from the ASCII/Famitsu Shining Force II Guide Book, and so should be pretty accurate! However, please note that the charts are based on a standard game, in which no extra training is given to any characters. The growth may vary with extra training, and even from game to game, due to the random level-ups.
