[ This episode is a flashback episode. ]
Gilbert Gottfried was born in Gellia, the capital of the Kingdom of Dazeary. His father had been a shoemaker for almost all his life, until one day his workshop was burned down in an accidental fire, and his family found themselves living in poverty.
His father, who couldn't come to terms with the situation he and his family was in, became an alcoholic, and Gilbert soon left his home and turned to a life of crime as a teenager.
During his years as a struggling street thug, he had robbed, burglarized, and assaulted many people, many of whom ended up dead. Because of his growing reputation in the streets, he was treated by other thugs in the neighborhood with considerable respect.
It was also during his time as a crook that Gilbert Gottfried became acquainted with Persiv Pablo, a crippled soldier from the middle eastern kingdom Saronna, who was exiled because of his participation in a failed coup.
