Gilbert Pronislav (pronounced /gɪlbɝt/[key]), born Gustave Eddie Dominic[2] (pronounced /'gustɑv 'ɛdi 'domɪnɪc/[key]), is a playable character appearing in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He is a member of the Knights of Seiros.
Biography
Gilbert was born Gustave Eddie Dominic, brother of Baron Dominic of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. He was originally a common soldier before being personally knighted by King Lambert and assigned to act as a combat instructor for both him and his son Dimitri. When the Tragedy of Duscur occurred, he personally saved Dimitri's life, but was far too late to save Lambert. Descending into self-loathing as a result of his failure, Gustave abandoned his wife and daughter Annette to travel to Garreg Mach Monastery, where he joined the Knights of Seiros under the name Gilbert.
Gilbert is introduced to Byleth shortly before the mission to subdue Miklan and his bandits, and accompanies them to Conand Tower and aids them in the battle. When Edelgard declares war on the Church of Seiros, he fights in the Battle of Garreg Mach on the Church's side, but is defeated. Afterwards, he returns to Faerghus and resumes his role as a knight of the Kingdom.
On the Silver Snow route, after the Resistance takes control of the Great Bridge of Myrddin, he approaches the group to request military aid on behalf of Dimitri, who is planning to attack the Empire. Seteth grants them passage through Myrddin, but their troops are too exhausted for him to supply reinforcements. Gilbert is later killed in action in the Battle at Gronder. On the Azure Moon route, Gilbert spends the five year interim investigating rumors of Dimitri's survival and eventually tracks him down to Garreg Mach Monastery. He joins Byleth and the Kingdom army and serves in an advisory capacity throughout the war with the Empire. Gilbert makes no direct storyline appearances in Part II on the Verdant Wind route; if Annette was recruited, she mentions in Chapter 18 that he fought in the Battle at Gronder on Faerghus' side and was last seen taking Dimitri's dead body away. On the Crimson Flower route, Gilbert is one of the commanders of the combined Kingdom/Church army in the final battle in Fhirdiad; he can be either circumvented or slain at the player's discretion.

Personality and character
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
Gilbert is deeply serious, faithful, and polite. He doesn't talk much about himself, making it hard to get to know him, but he does love fishing and cooking.
In the years following the Tragedy of Duscur, Gilbert submitted himself to a self-imposed exile from Faerghus. He left behind his wife and child and he began to serve the Knights of Seiros. He feels great guilt at being unable to save the rest of Dimitri's family. In his exile he wrote letters to his wife and daughter, but he never sent them. If he reconciles with Annette, he gives her the letters he wrote over the years and tells her she may do with them as she wishes.

Endings
Gilbert, Veteran Patriot
Gilbert returned to Fhirdiad and resumed his duty as a knight, faithfully serving King Dimitri for many years. When he finally retired, it is said he spent the rest of his days coaching the young prince in the art of combat.
Annette, Bloomed Overachiever & Gilbert, Veteran Patriot
Gustave discarded the name of Gilbert and reaffirmed his oath of fealty to King Dimitri and the royal family. After returning to Fhirdiad, he reunited with his wife, who had returned to live with Baron Dominic, and his beloved daughter, Annette, who had begun teaching at the capital's school of sorcery. Thought it was initially an awkward reunion, over time the family rekindled their love for one another. As the shadow of war receded from the Kingdom, the three spent their days happily making up for lost time.
