Sir Knight Gerd Hollies was a proud man. He envied Chiangdas powers but looked down on them. He only befriended them for his own gain and protection. For him, they were usable but nothing more because he saw how a trifling Wag stone could easily weaken these 'almighty' Chiangdas. Even their powers were useless when he wore the red stone.
Though Sir Gerd worked under the King's adviser, Mafan was nothing but a tool for him to reach his goals in life someday. As long as Mafan favorably gave what he wanted, then he was willing to bow to Mafan. Honor was a mere word for him for it couldn't bring him wealth and power.
Personally, he looked down at General Lofey Lethmo because the man was born a commoner. He abhorred seeing this man became rich and sitting as a top general. For him, the royal blood, like him, had the authority to reach the pinnacle but not the common men. He grew up believing commoners were nothing but mere pawns and stepping stones, not the other way around.
