Gaius Worzel

"I go where the Wind takes me."

- Gaius' catchphrase Gaius Worzel is one of the main protagonists of the video game tetralogy The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel. He is a student at Thors Military Academy and a member of Class VII. A young nomad from the Nord Highlands, Gaius enrolled in Thors as a foreign exchange student in order to learn more about the world, out of a fear that one day, his home would be threatened by outsiders.

He is voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya in the Japanese version and Kaiji Tang in the English version.

Appearance
Gaius is a nomad of the Nord Highlands with wavy brown hair tied into a short ponytail, tan skin and light blue eyes. A calm and collected character who can discern the true nature of things without prejudice. His personality without any sense of discrimination, leads him to be heavily relied on by the members of Class VII. He is also the tallest member of Class VII, something that does not go unnoticed by his classmates.

In Trails of Cold Steel, he wears the standard Class VII crimson uniform, in a similar alternative style to Elliot. His sleeves are kept rolled and wears sandals instead of shoes because of his homeland cultures. He also sports his own pants like every other character.

In Trails of Cold Steel II, Gaius's civil war outfit consists of a lined pattern long-sleeve shirt with the sleeves folded. Overtop is a dark crimson belted vest where his black trousers are overlayed with pants sleeves chained to his belt. He switched his sandals for normal shoes.

Personality
Gaius is unique among the original members of Class VII in that he has no familial issues whatsoever; he has both a set of loving parents and three younger siblings who look up to him. As such, he is very kind, patient and loving and almost never gets angry or loses his cool. Because of these character traits, he is respected by all of his classmates and is the least likely to end up in arguments. Even when questioning Patrick about the superiority of nobles, he does so politely and calmly and never truly gets angry. Like Rean and Laura, he is very level-headed during combat, with his excuse being that he is used to fighting monsters, having done so plenty back in his home. Of all the members of Class VII, Gaius is noted by Jusis for having the clearest reason for enrolling at the academy; to learn more about the outside world that may one day pose a threat to his homeland.
