—The Gatekeeper's usual greeting to Byleth.
The Gatekeeper is a non-playable character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
Profile
As his title suggests, the Gatekeeper dutifully watches over the entrance to Garreg Mach Monastery where he can usually be found during Byleth's free day. When talked to, the Gatekeeper greets Byleth and talks of current/upcoming events. Even after the five year timeskip, the Gatekeeper returns and resumes his post when the Monastery reopens. However, in Crimson Flower route, his brother takes his post as his brother is less devout to the Church of Seiros than the Gatekeeper in during the White Clouds chapters. Nonetheless, even his brother who is also known as the Gatekeeper greets and converses with Byleth in similar fashion.
The Gatekeeper's dialogues are often comical in nature, and play upon the idea that he's actually rather unobservant and inept at his job. No matter the situation, he almost always has nothing to report despite what events may be occurring on the monastery grounds during a given month.
