Im probaly going to receive alot of hate for this but ill say it anyway gais isnt that good a character.

And sometimes I feel the show has only kept him alive is to provide a bit of backing information for magical people/creatures. For example he has given backing info for many characters such as lamia, cornelious sigan, tristian de bois (the black night), the afanc, the questing beast, the goblin, the disir, trolls, and many more that I can't remember. Also he occasionally gives advice and rarely heals people (i say rarely because it is usually merlins magic that does the healing). These are a just few more examples of the shows repetitiveness.

I think the writers could have involved him (and other characters like the knights) in more plot lines instead of doing the same old ones e.g. enemy in camelot but Merlin stops them with a little bit of help from either gais or dragon.

character rating: 5/10
