History

Eurasia Blossom and Gustang were lovers for a period, yet both splits after the
infamous Eurasia Enne Zahard incident (Enne Zahard was the daughter of Blossom
and Gustang. Blossom was very opposed to her becoming a Zahard Princess).
[5] After splitting with Blossom, acting contrary to his reputation, he started to go out
with different women. However, his greatest followers took his side and stated that
he was acting up because the empty spot where Blossom once occupied was too
big. Of course, when he went from a "nice guy" to a "bad guy", his popularity
increased even more.[1]
At some point, Gustang proposed to Zahard to choose exceptional female children
who will be gradually injected with Zahard’s blood and let them compete with each
other as they climb the Tower. Of all these women, the most talented of the surviving
princesses would become Zahard’s wife. And thus the system of the Zahard
Princesses came to be. However, as the competition intensified, the relationship
between the 10 Family Heads also started to turn sour leading to discord between
the Families. [6]
Appearance and Personality
Along with the glasses he wears to better see the flow of Shinsu and elegant
brunette hair, he’s actually quite a handsome guy. Eurasia Blossom once
commented on Gustang’s good looks: “Yeah, he’s like an elegant, ancient book... the
same kind that makes you yawn after reading”. [1] In his most recent appearance, he
wore a smart white tuxedo with black lapels, a dark grey shirt underneath and a
black tie.
However, because of his quiet, reserved expression, most find it hard to approach
him, so he’s often the "target of affections".[1]
Gustang is shown to be an arrogant individual thinks anyone who isn't Zahard, Urek
Mazino, Baam or any other Great Warriors are bugs. Gustang has a great reputation
and influence in his family, even his family members think he has omniscient
intellect. He even directly challenged Zahard by stealing an important item from him
despite knowing fully well that Zahard would notice and brand him as a traitor and
most likely, as it turned out to be, The Three Orders the complete destruction of his
family, and even after this, told Zahard's Army that "A Rift has begun to form" as if to
declare war on Zahard. At the same time, he is not above taking things personally
even towards the Great Warriors: Although he appears to harbor no ill will towards
Arlen despite having been forced to engage her during her war with Zahard, openly
holding her in high regard for getting along with everyone so easily, he shows
nothing but utter disgust towards Baam's father, saying he was the worst person he
ever met.

About
Gustang and Gong Bang have a pretty close relationship. So much so
that Macseth (The Great Father of Gong Bang) and Gustang often get together to
exchange stories.[1] Because of this close relationship, there exists a rumour that
says "Gustang knows the way out of the Tower". [1] Hearing this rumour, Urek
Mazino once visited Gustang to learn the way to leave the Tower. However, he left
after a while with a headache and complained to Baek Ryun, “It'll be easier for me to
dig my way out of the Tower with a spoon than to learn anything from that guy”. [1]
Po Bidau Gustang is the one who pioneered the research of Shinsu [5] but, other than
Shinsu and the Tower, Gustang was highly interested in researching the
"Guide" Position.[1] However, the topic of the "Guide" is a highly taboo topic within the
Research Association.[1] Some believe it's because of his pride as a researcher that
he doesn't want anyone else to take his research targets.
Tower of God: Part 2 - The Return of the Prince
Tower of God: Part 2 - The Workshop Battle
Before the Workshop battle began he was "coincidentally" assigned as the head of
the E-rank Workshop Battle instead of a Great Teacher, overseeing everything
onboard the Archimedes. He made a brief but unofficial appearance at the beginning
of this arc where he could be seen smoking and sitting next to a CD player. A voice
emitted from the player and asked if the man had an answer to his question.
Gustang didn't answer directly, instead saying that there was still lots of time, as the
game had just started.
Thorn
Gustang made another appearance, talking again with the person from the CD
player. The man from the machine stated that he allowed Gustang to control the
Workshop Battle however he wanted and asked him about his plan. Gustang replied
that he will watch how the boy dealt with the hardships as long as
the competitors didn't cross the line while seeing how strong the "real Thorn" got
when it was in the hands of an Irregular.
Closure
As Androssi rescued Baam, Khun, and Rak from the dissolving solution with Bon
Bon, Gustang approached Madoraco. When the latter noticed the former's presence
he ordered his Rankers to withdraw and abandon the Thorn, otherwise, Gustang
would destroy their trade business.
Madoraco asked when he began to play on the palm of his hand while also guessing
that he was the one who gave FUG Enryu's Thorn, to which Gustang replied that he
was only at Archimedes "coincidentally" as the head of the Workshop Battle in place
of the Great Teacher, only restraining Madoraco for a fair game.

Later on, Gustang was discussing with his unknown associate, who then asked the
Family Head "who was the 'real' Zahard's Prince that will take the Tower's last test?".
Gustang replied that the person was impatient and that 'their' adventure had just
begun.
