Before the events of the series Ghira founded the White Fang in an attempt to make peace between humans and Faunus however while most humans were beginning to accept Faunus there were some who still didn't agree with Faunus rights. One day Ghira was attempting to pass through a town with other white fang members including Ilia Amitola, Sienna Khan, and Adam Taurus when a group of humans armed with revolvers began shooting at the White Fang members Ghira attempted to plead with the humans stating that they didn't want any trouble when one shot Ghira in the shoulder, causing Adam to begin to attack the humans after subduing most of them Adam notices one about to shoot Ghira and uses his semblance to kill him causing the other humans to run away in fear with one saying "You're all freaks!". Ghira then begins to berate Adam for murdering the human before Sienna interrupts him saying that Adam saved his life as the other White Fang members begin hailing Adam as a hero.
Eventually Ghira stepped down from his position as high leader of the White Fang with Sienna taking his place after Ghira left his wife Kali left with him, while their daughter, Blake stayed in the White Fang however she eventually left as well. After hearing about the Fall of Beacon Ghira began to greatly worry about his daughter he would pace around waiting for her, and one day Blake arrived home with her friend Sun Wukong whilst Kali liked sun, Ghira wasn't too fond of him even openly stating "I really don't like you" on multiple occasions. Ghira soon meets with the Albain brothers, members of the White Fang, after Blake exposes that the White Fang was responsible for the fall of Beacon Ghira grows suspicious whilst the brothers claim that it was Adam's group who orchestrated the violence and that their actions weren't approved upon and the brothers soon leave.
Blake later meets with Ghira in his study where the 2 share conversations about there pasts before being interrupted by Sun.

Their fight leads them into the study where Blake is fighting Ilia. Fennec is able to stab Ghira in the back but Ghira just throws him off and fights Corsac hand to hand.
