Gammon Octo

Gammon Octo is the distant descendent of Lukana Octo, whose bloodline had been tainted by Duke Sateriajis Venomania. He became known as the Cursed Gardener.

History
Gammon arrived at Gallerian's Theater to retrieve the Venom Sword so that he could undo the curse. Once entering the forest, he managed to elude the Master of the Graveyard and her servants but ended up at the mercy of the Master of the Court. As he was about to be sentenced to hell, he was saved at the last minute by the Waiter, who wanted him to do chores for her.

He antagonizes with the Master of the Court's intentions, and opposes the view of Elluka Clockworker and Gallerian Marlon that gathering the Seven Deadly Sins will create a "Utopia". He, like GEAR, believes that it will bring an imminent end without anything beyond it, suggesting some sort of cataclysm or apocalypse.

Master of the Court (EC ???)
Gammon makes an indirect appearance in Master of the Court, muttering that when the end comes, nothing will be left alive.

Capriccio Farce (EC 998)
Capriccio Farce tells of Gammon's failed effort to obtain the Venom Sword and his eventual trial in the theater. During the meeting of the awakened vessels, the Master of the Court gives him permission to speak out his reasons for intruding the forest and how his life was spared.

Skills
Gammon Octo has a foretelling skill denominated Purple Dream. This skills allows him to dream future events, however the reliability of these predictions are doubtful. More often than not, Gammon dreams events that don't happen and he has a accuracy of about 50% in his predictions.

He also looks to have skills as composer and/or scriptwriter, as he collaborates with MA in doing the plays enacted by the Theater's inhabitants.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Gammon's new role as the "Cursed Gardener" is connected to the Sin he represents: Lust, whose original form is The Flower.
 * The definition of gammon is "a victory in which the winner throws off all of his or her pieces before the opponent throws off any". This may relate to how Gammon risked everything just to obtain the Venom Sword.
