Gado

"I chose to save Louie instead of Deng Deng. And I told myself that was their destiny. What would you have chosen? ANSWER ME!! GOD!! If it were you, would you kill Louie to save Deng Deng?!"

- Gado asked Twenty-Fifth Baam.

Gado (가도, Gado) is a High Ranker and was formally the second-in-command in Yama's Gang. He was also Deng Deng's adoptive father.

Appearance and Personality
Gado is tall, light-skinned and has black curly hair and goatee. Also, like any other members at the cage, he has dog ears.

History
Very long time ago, when Gado was out on a mission for FUG, he fell in love with a human woman he met. Gado and the woman then had a child or baby together. The baby is a boy. Unfortunately, the boy's mother died while giving birth to him, and since the baby wasn't a canine person, he was born with a weak heart, so he's bound to die soon.

In the moment of desperation, Khel Hellam, one of FUG's Elder came to see Gado. Khel Hellam told Gado that he'd save his baby in exchange for helping him with his plan. Gado accepted Khel's offer right away. Soon after, Khel brought some random newborn canine person to Gado. Khel told Gado that he could save his baby if he transplanted the random newborn canine person's heart into his son. Then, after keeping the two baby frozen for a long time, Khel said that he'd take them with him and raise them in The Cage.

After returning to The Cage, Gado lied to Baylord Yama, saying that both of the baby are his sons from a canine woman he met outside The Cage and raised both of them as his fake family. The human baby, Gado's real son is Louie, and the random canine person baby was Deng Deng.

Tower of God: Part 3 - Baylord Yama
He is seen walking with Baylord Yama discussing the Canine Tooth Festival. Gado later greets Karaka with respect and asked where is Deng Deng. Karaka explained the deal to Gado and understood why Deng Deng couldn't be handed over to them easily even as his father.

Tower of God: Part 3 - Stealing the fang
After hearing about the Elder's Attendant being a canine person, Gado wanted to go meet the attendant himself. Gado is later found leaving Yama's side by Canzon and his crew. Canzon, who is suspicious of Gado, ask why is he leaving Yama's side at a very late time. Gado tells Canzon he wanted to see if the Elder's attendant is a canine person and asks Canzon to step aside. Canzon then tells Gado he is the one who kidnapped his son, Deng Deng, and wanted her daughter, Canhong to be the star of the show. However, Canzon said he found something strange, because the chance of Gado and Deng Deng being related is almost zero after he secretly did a blood test. Gado remains silent as the announcers suddenly alert the area that a powerful High-Ranker is heading towards the cage from the arena. After being cornered, Gado announces that he is not Deng Deng's father and he'll no longer work for Yama.

Powers and Abilities
Gado has Partial Transformation abilities like other canine people. Gado transforms his feet.


 * Stage 1 Partial Transformation: Black Foot: His foots transform to black color, start from his knees and down below to his foot fingers. His foot fingers turned into metal looking claws. It looks similiar to "demon" or "beast" foot.
 * Stage 2 Partial Transformation: No official name, but this transformation will change Gado legs into "rocket legs". The back calves on his both legs will create one cavity each, that produce something like air jet thruster. Gado legs will create 2 air jet thrusters. This allows Gado to move, fly, or kick very fast because his legs are now basically just like "booster legs".
 * Stage 3 Partial Transformation: Iron-willed Blackfoot: This transformation will still grant Gado the "rocket legs". But, this is an advanced version of stage 2, with three cavitieseach so there are total of 6 air jet thrusters to gain more speed.
 * Stage 7 Partial Transformation: The Deepest, Darkest Legs
 * Black Spirit Kick:

Quotes

 * (To Canzon) "Since strength is all that matters in The Cage now, Louie will never be acknowledged as my son anyway. Once this is all over, I'll finally be able to call Louie 'my son'."


 * (To Canzon) "The old me who was a proud warrior may already be dead!! But I've chosen to go on living as a father. This is my destiny".


 * (To Twenty-Fifth Baam) "'Transformation' is a deadly weapon even against me. But, even the sharpest sword is useless if it can't cut anything. I'll show you the difference in our levels, Slayer Candidate".


 * (To Baam) "Isn't destiny a terrifying thing?! If only you didn't bring Deng Deng here today, maybe he'd still be alive!! But you don't need to feel bad about it, Slayer Candidate!! Because Deng Deng's death, and the elder's takeover of the canine people, are both just part of our 'destiny'!!"


 * (To Baam) "If you try to turn back their destiny and kill Louie now.. Do you really think that's any different from what I did?! Please.. Dear GOD.. Have mercy.. Answer.. Me.."
