Profile
A 4000 year old vampire who lives in a luxurious castle deep in the mountains in the middle of nowhere. He has a high status among his own people and is pompous and overbearing in his language and behaviour towards others. On the other hand, however, deep down he is weak and has a clumsy side that blatantly panics when someone carelessly approaches him.

Trivia

 * Color: #002FA7
 * Gilzare's stream output is very inconsistent and usually only streams once every few months. Despite this, his viewer turnout is usually quite high in comparison to his subscriber count. As of 4 January 2023, he has only streamed 31 times (34 archived videos in total) since his debut.
 * Gilzaren is known for being a big fan of VTubers and lurking/commenting in chats, as well as updating his music playlists, which are filled with VTuber-related music. However, as he is slightly inactive when it comes to streaming it has become a running joke for VTubers that see him in chat to tell him to stream more.
