Gladiolus Amicitia

Gladiolus is a tall man with a large build. He wears black leather trousers with a small side chain, and an open black shirt with nothing but a pendant underneath. In the "no jacket" version of his outfit, he wears a black tank top with the Crownsguard's insignia in gray. He has a small arm sleeve over his left wrist, and wears black shoes with red soles. He has amber eyes and a long scar over his left eye. Gladiolus has a large tattoo of a bird of prey that covers his entire back and extends down his arms. The full tattoo is visible with the Rugged Attire from his DLC. The tattoo is for male line of the Amicitia, and is the credential of the King's Shield rather than a family crest, the family members getting their tattoo when they become one of the shield. Gladiolus's father Clarus Amicitia has the same tattoo.

Gladiolus is a cool and cheerful person with a blunt sense of humor and an indomitable will. He is the most outgoing of the four party members, and has been a fan of the great outdoors since he was young and having collected various Coleman camping equipment items. He makes conversation easily and is flirtatious with most women he comes across (earning Prompto's ire), but is protective of his sister Iris. He loves Cup Noodles to the point he gets the group to try and make their own custom cup only to end up appreciating the original even more. He freely expresses his opinions on what is necessary and acts as a pillar in ensuring that the team does not sway from their goal.
