Gabriev, Rowdy

Rowdy Gabriev is an ancestor of Gourry Gabriev who resided on Mipross Island. He features in Slayers: The Motion Picture. Lina Inverse initially meets Rowdy as an elderly man. After traveling back in time to rescue the island from the mazoku Joyrock, she encounters Rowdy as a young boy.
In his youth, Rowdy harbored a crush on the elf girl Mellyroon; however, according to Hajime Kanzaka, he would eventually grow up to marry a human woman, since Mellyroon would still be a child by that time.
Although Rowdy wielded the Sword of Light, he is not the legendary Swordsman of Light of Sairaag, who might either be one of his ancestors or descendants.
