Known as the Golden Ethereal, Gladion, the Ethereal of Protection, burns brightly in deep space. Ethereal Golden Flames shroud his head and upper torso. Portions of his body are missing in time and space, adrift in the Realm Ethereal. The Ethereal of Protection is known to occupy more than one place in time and space.

Gladion bears one element of the powerful Ethereal Golden Armor: The Star Sword. Gladion does not actually wield the sword. As Gladion’s title reveals, he protects others from the Star Sword itself. He does not wield the sword. Instead, he protects others from the sword. Only in the most dire circumstances is Gladion permitted to hold the sword. The last time wielded the sword, he caused a tear in the Great Void, to which much calamity was brought upon the Realm Ethereal itself. It is Gladion’s duty to ensure the sword is never again used to bring harm to The Realm Ethereal.

Gladion, the Ethereal of Protection, is part of The Realm Ethereal lore. Created, written and illustrated by Rene Arreola.
