Trivia
- In Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, Gail can be seen mentioning his reinforcements even after he has been defeated.
- Gail's battle dialogue is changed in some fan translations; instead of considering pleading for mercy before deciding he won't receive any, Gail pretends to ask for mercy only to reveal it was just a trick to make his opponent lower their guard.

• Gile • Guile
|
• Used in the Mystery of the Emblem fan translation. • Used in the New Mystery of the Emblem fan translation patch. May have been changed for the patch due to "Gail" being viewed far more as a feminine name in modern times, and thus inappropriate for a male character. Guile is probably best known as the name of a famous male character from the Street Fighter series.

Japanese

ガイル

Officially romanized as Gail. One of a number of shortened forms of the feminine biblical name "Abigail", originating from the Hebrew אֲבִיגַיִל / אֲבִיגָיִל; the biblical Abigail was most well known as the third wife of King David. Although the actual spelling "Gail" was more commonly used for both genders prior to the 1930s, it eventually lost favor in male usage and became increasingly used as a feminine-specific spelling. Contrary to the name's modern feminine connotations, this particular Gail is a male character.
