When
Lina Inverse destroyed the Dragon no Kiba (Dragon's Fang) gang, and was
later encountered by a small array of vengeful bandits, Gourry Gabriev
jumped in to save her. Though Lina appreciated the offer, she initially
opted against accepting Gourry as a bodyguard, but Gourry's big-brotherly
nature prevented him from acting otherwise. Gourry, dense as a brick,
saw Lina as a younger girl in need of protection, and thus, he offered
it.
Gourry is the owner of the most powerful sword known to man, the mysterious Sword of Light. The Sword of Light channels its users intentions into energy, usually taking the form of a gleaming blade of light. Gourry has learned how to utilize the sword's energy in different forms, though, most notably the power of swinging it quickly downwards to form energy beam projectiles.
Gourry is the swordsman of the group, and acts the role very well. He's single-minded in his protection of Lina, and even after helping Lina defeat Ruby-Eye Shabranigdu, he has resolved to follow Lina around wherever she goes. Supposedly, he has nothing better to do, and perhaps still sees himself as her guardian.
