Sir Gilbert



"Despite his fearsome appearance and warrior reputation, Gilbert yearns for a quieter life."

- The Daily Explorer

Sir Gilbert is the Tiger Alpha. He is the oldest of the Alphas and normally plans the battles against the infamous Phantoms. Gilbert seems to have a deep hatred against the Phantoms and he is ferocious when he is attacking them. He appears in the 2-D Adventure, The Hidden Falls.

Appearance
Sir Gilbert is presented as a large orange tiger with whisker markings, flecks beneath his green eyes, and a braided beard. His attire is a red cape with a blue cloth sash fastened around his right arm with a medal of merit (it is assumed that it was given to him by Mira). The medal of the merit is striped blue and yellow and the metal part of the medal is in form of a blue cross. He also wears two rings, one with a ruby and one without and a plated armlet with a dark purple stone embedded in it. He also wears metal cuffs on all four of his legs.

Personality
"Sir Gilbert, the regal tiger Shaman, is a proud warrior. He takes his ancestry very seriously and always makes it a point to honor those that came before him when going into battle. Even though he has a rough appearance, Sir Gilbert is a very thoughtful, spiritual animal with a caring nature. His personality is serious, reverential, and soft-spoken. He has a deep, low voice that can be as soothing as it is menacing. As a mentor to new tigers, Sir Gilbert can be a tough teacher, but he possesses great wisdom and knows a lot about the history of Jamaa and its ongoing struggle with the phantoms that inhabit the Animal Jam world."
