""From this day forth, we are lawless vagabonds, subject to no one! What say you to that, you Wrothian scoundrels?"

— Ga Jiarg

Ga Jiarg (Japanese: ガ・デルグ, Ga Derugu, Ga Derg; English dub: /ɡə ˈdʒɑːrɡ/ or /ˈɡɑː ˈdʒɑːrɡ/), or Prince Jiarg to his subjects, is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles X. He is a Wrothian first seen speaking to Luxaar along with his companion Ga Buidhe. He then is seen retrieving a Ganglion mech from New Los Angeles. He is a former prince who is only helping the Ganglion to prevent his people from being used as cannon fodder.

Story[]

Ga Jiarg breaks into New Los Angeles alongside Ga Buidhe during the Ganglion invasion to steal the Vita, which they succeed in and take it to Luxaar before returning to the Wrothian Stronghold. Later he fights alongside Ga Buidhe in their Skells in an ambush in Sylvalum. After fighting the party, Ga Jiarg decides to ally with the Humans and break the Wrothian's ties with the Ganglion. He and Ga Buidhe are then seen rallying Wrothians in Oblivia, no longer pawns of the Ganglion.

Later, during the Affinity Mission A Challenger Approaches, the party decides to request the Wrothians' official support for New Los Angeles. Afterwards, Ga Jiarg and Ga Buidhe can be found in the Wrothian Stronghold in Oblivia.

Etymology[]

Ga Jiarg's name, including his Japanese name Ga Derugu, may be taken from Gae Dearg (Red Spear), one of two spears wielded by the Irish folk hero Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, along with Gae Buidhe. Dearg is Gaelic for "red", which also matches the color of his fur.

• "Luxaar never ordered us to keep his secrets. Only to remember his precious title."
• "The Ganglion have bought our compliance, yes. But make no mistake--the Wrothians would never sell their pride."

• "Councilor Luxaar--this is Mercenary Warlord Ga Jiarg, former prince of the kingdom of Wroth. It is with a heavy heart and deep regret that the Wrothian people are unable to carry out your mission to annihilate the human race. We realize this means we will no longer enjoy the benevolence of Ganglion patronage. So be it. The Wrothian people will make our way as an independent mercenary force, effective immediately. We look forward to settle our debt with you on some future battlefield. Until then..."
