Ganz Rothschild (ガンシ•ロートシルト) is a stout, blond man and a peaceful, but somewhat inexperienced captain of the Knights. He is often found overexcited, making him the comic relief on several occasions. He became a Radiata Knight at 18 and was promoted to Captain at 28. Ganz's family was part of the Rothschild clan, which has the crest of the Lion of the West. Raised according to the genteel traditions of all great houses, Ganz has been raised with refined manners and his sheltered life has made him highly innocent. His own father, Gawain Rothschild, left home some 16 years before the events of Radiata Stories. After expulsion from the knights, he found work with the Void Community, the bandit guild. In the Fairy Path he joins the Fairy creatures in the hopes of reuniting with his father.
