Testament

Testament is one of the villains from Guilty Gear.

Story
Testament was a orphan during the time of the Crusades, a war between humans and the Gears, lifeforms enhanced with magical powers that were being controlled by Justice. Testament was adopted by Kliff Undersn, the leader of the Holy Order, an army created to fight the Gears. After growing, Testament decided to join the Holy Order to fight in the war. He became known as the Black Knight, fighting alongside his adoptive father. However, Testament started to become depressed and frustrated, because the war would never end. The Postwar Administration Bureau offered to transform him into a Gear, which testament accepted. Testament retained his sense of self, but decided to change sides on the war, due to Justice's influence over all Gears. Kliff was forced to fight Testament, seemingly killing him. After this, Kliff decided to retire from the Holy Order, passing down his leadership to Ky Kiske, who sealed Justice, thus ending the crusades.

Testament survived somehow, hiding himself to find a way to unseal Justice. After some time, he decide to use his ties with the PWAB and create the Holy Order Tournament, in order to gather enough sacrifices to release Justice, using the excuse that a new Holy Order would be created and the winner would have anything he desired as a prize. Kliff and Ky both enter the tournament, as well as Sol Badguy, the one who had defeated Justice previously. Sol wins the tournament, facing Testament, who tells his entire plan and attacks Sol, to get his last sacrifice. Sol defeats Testament, who decides to use his own blood as a sacrifice, successfully releasing Justice. Sol destroys Justice, making all Gears stop functioning. Testament, however, disappeared.

Testament had hidden himself again, but he soon learned about the existence of another Gear named Dizzy, who hid himself an the middle of a forest. After discovering that the PWAB put a huge bounty over her capture and organized a new Holy Order Tournament, Testament decided to protect her from everyone at all costs. He is defeated by Sol Badguy again, who fights Dizzy and defeat her. However, Sol decides to spare her life, and the bounty is given to Kuradoberi Jam, making Dizzy officially dead. Dizzy decides to join the Jellyfish Pirates led by Johnny, to which Testament reluctantly agreed, deciding to stay in the forest. Some time later, he decided to visit Dizzy, only to discover that she had been knocked off from the Pirates ship. Enraged at the humans, he frantically searches for Dizzy, eventually meeting with the vampire Slayer and Sol Badguy, learning that both the PWAB and “That Man” were on the move. He finally finds Dizzy, who tells him that her fall was not the fault of the Jellyfish Pirates. Testament accepts the decision of Dizzy of staying with the Pirates, becoming more acceptive of the humans.
