“Aw, Palutena's little messenger boy. And Magnus, it's always a pleasure!”

— Dark Lord Gaol

Dark Lord Gaol (魔王ガイナス Maou Gainasu, "Demon King Gainas") is an antagonist who debuted in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Appearing as a large, dark knight with a masculine voice, she is later revealed to be a human girl who was trapped inside her armor.

Residing inside a dreary castle, she serves as the boss of Chapter 2.

She is voiced by Kari Wahlgren in the English version of Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Physical Appearance

Gaol wears knight-like armor over her entire body, to the point that only her green eyes are visible. She has a green aura radiating from her hands, and wears a large red cape. Her most notable features are the two massive horns that extend from her helmet. In addition, it appears that the pattern in her cape is made up of numerous eyes. In her armor, she stands at around 7'1" (215 cm^[1]). Outside of her armor, she appears to be a young woman with long, blonde hair.

Backstory

Years ago, Magnus and Gaol fought monsters together in the same mercenary group. The two of them would try to compete for the other's glory, as they viewed each other to be friendly rivals.

She later went on to spy on the Underworld Army for the surface world but was captured and forced into cursed armor. Now under the control of her enemy, she serves as a general to the Underworld Army.

Appearances

Chapter 2: Magnus and the Dark Lord

Pit and Magnus are both aiming to defeat Dark Lord Gaol, so the two travel together through Dark Lord Gaol's Castle and battle Underworld troops along the way. Upon arriving in her throne room, Magnus and Gaol act familiar with each other, prompting Palutena to inform Pit that the two used to be friends. After her defeat, Gaol's armor falls apart, revealing a human inside. This upsets Pit, but Palutena assures him that Gaol is not dead, much to his relief.

Chapter 24: The Three Trials

Alongside Magnus, Gaol is called upon by Dyntos to participate in one of Pit's trials, where he must defeat the both of them. It appears that Gaol has taken control over her cursed armor, as her voice is no longer distorted and she retains her free will.

Quotes

"It's so typical of you to pawn off your work on someone else."
"That's funny. Business is booming for me. We're even hiring more staff!"
"Feeling a little agitated, Magnus?"
"Hmph. I almost feel sorry for the two of you. But not quite. I'll rip this angel to shreds first. Then I'll take care of you."
"Think you'll be able to take the both of us, Pit?"
"Angel! It's the lord of the Underworld you oppose, yes?"
"Then concentrate on proving yourself, not what we're saying. Hold your questions for after you save the world."

Trivia

It has been stated in an interview that Dark Lord Gaol was designed to look like a final boss of an RPG game, to the point of her being a "breaking the fourth wall" type of character.^[2]
A "gaol" is defined as a form of prison or jail. Therefore, the Dark Lord may be named after her armor, which fits this description rather well.
Gaol is one of the few major characters that doesn't seem to be based on any well-known mythological figures.
There's a glitch which makes her invincible: if Pit or Magnus attacks her almost after reflective shield, she will be invincible from all attacks causing shots to reflect off of her forever. The glitch cannot be broken and Gaol will remain undefeatable.

-'''Dark Lord Gaol''' (魔王ガイナス ''Maou Gainasu'', lit. "Demon King Gainas") is a brand new antagonist introduced in [[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]. She appears to be a dark, knight-like character that speaks in an evil and distorted voice that makes her seem masculine. She serves as the boss of [[Magnus and the Dark Lord|''Magnus and the Dark Lord'']]. It is shown that she lives in a dreary [[Gaol's Castle|castle]], and that she serves as another rival towards Palutena, as well as [[Magnus]] who has apparently had past encounters with her. In the trailer from E3 2011, Gaol doesn't appear intimidated by Pit at all, referring to him as "Palutena's little messenger boy."

-It is revealed in the boss battle that she was a childhood friend of Magnus, and the two fought monsters together as part of the same mercenary group. According to the Idol "Gaol", she volunteered to spy on the Underworld Army, but was captured and forced to wear the cursed armor of a dark lord, making her into nothing more then a slave to the very evil she had fought against. When defeated by Pit and Magnus, Gaol's armor falls apart with her face revealed. Though Pit regrets having to fight her, he is relieved to learn that Gaol is only knocked unconscious.
+==Appearances==
-Gaol is called by Dyntos, alongside Magnus, to particiapte in testing Pit's skill in Chapter 24. Pit must face and defeat both of them. It now shows Gaol is on Pit's side as their mid-battle chat shows that she wishes for Pit to defeat Hades.

+===[[Chapter 24: The Three Trials]]===
-*During the fight aginst her and Magnus in Chapter 24, you can hear her speak in her normal voice instead of the masculine one from Chapter 2, showing that she is now in control of her Dark Lord form and is no longer an enemy. Her voice still echoes in the suit to some degree though.
+Alongside Magnus, Gaol is called upon by [[Dyntos]] to participate in one of Pit's trials, where he must defeat the both of them. It appears that Gaol has taken control over her cursed armor, as her voice is no longer distorted and she retains her free will.
-*In the idol of "Gaol" not Dark Lord Gaol, looking closely at her as the armor breaks, she apparently has the lower half of her body gone. This means that she oddly fits into the top part of the armor, not the entire thing.
-*Alongside Medusa towards the final battle only, Gaol is one of the only Underworld characters to aid Pit at some point, by testing Pit along with Magnus.
