When he and Yuri were alone in the desert following a sand trap that sucked in Wolfram and Conrad, Gwendal showed certain care he tried to hide towards Yuri. It was at that time Yuri later commented to Conrad that all of the siblings have similar kind smiles, even though Gwendal's is covered up by his "scary face".[3]

Gwendal has no interest in love affairs, and even points out that issues coming from love affairs are beyond his abilities to influence.[4] He does occasionally shows care towards Greta, often being in charged of her while Yuri and Wolfram are in one of their adventures. Gwendal knows how to bake, as he does so for Greta when Gunter, who would usually bake cookies for Greta, leaves the castle for a short journey. Greta comments that Gwendal's cookies look cute while Yuri comments Gwendal is good at baking as Gwendal's cookies are made into animal shapes, similar to the ones he knits.[5] When Greta asks Gwendal if she is disturbing him while he is doing work, Gwendal says "Since its you, I don't mind".[6]

He is the commander of the demon army and often comes with reinforcements when Yuri finds himself in big trouble. He is also the one who does the paperwork and essentially runs the kingdom for Yuri.[7] Often enough, when Yuri leaves the castle, Gunter is seen barging into Gwendal's office, demanding where Yuri is. Gwendal would usually look tired and suggest an idea which sounds appealing to Gunter, for example locking Yuri up in a room where no one will interfere.[8]
