Ace and Gilbert resemblance

When I played the part in Suikoden 3, where Ace appeared I just thought he kinda looked like Gilbert. I was looking at suikox and suikosource. It said that Ace was with Gilbert's mercenaries. I was shocked from that thing so I just thought. Is there a possibiliity that Gilbert and Ace are only one person or that they're relatives or something like that? I just want to know if anyone else thought of this.

I didn't think about this till you mentioned it....there is a slight resemblance in their hair styles but I don't think their faces look anything alike.

With only their hair being similar I doubt there is a solid link between the two...
who knows...maybe Gilbert made all his men style their hair like that? (I've seen it done before...in anime at least...)

Though I guess the possibility of them being distant relatives or something can't be dismissed either but we'll probably never hear anything else about it.....

Ace and Gilbert being the same person is impossible, because Gilbert is 36 years old at the time of the Dunan Unification War, and would therefore be 51 years old at the time of Suikoden 3, and Ace is 35 at the time of Suikoden 3, and would thus be 20 years old at the time of the Dunan Unification War. They also have different stars of destiny.

Ace does however look older than 35 though...! :D

I love my conspiracist assumptions.

I've always assumed Ace to be his son or nephew to some degree.

but as someone earlier mentioned, the world may never know.

Did Ace fight in the Dunan Unification Wars? If not, then Ace could possibly be Gilbert's son. If I remember right, Gilbert had a wife and son waiting for him in Vinay del Zexay. And Vinay is Ace's hometown.

Didn't Gilberts son have the name of Thomas. But then again this proves that it might very well be him to. Since All of the Team changed their name Like Wang became Joker like "Jilia" supposedly was Queen if that is her real name, Jacques eventually changes his name to jacks, and Geddoe suppose to have changed his naem to king probably. And rumored that Aila changes her name to Heart after the Fire Bringer war. So I am not sure if this helps those chances or hurts them. But i do believe that this very well may help possibly.

Gilbert's son is called "Thomas" who was a small boy and living in VDZ while Gilbert was fighting in the Dunan Unification Wars. Ace was a soldier within the mercneary group, fighting in the Dunan Unification Wars. If he was Gilbert's son, it would be strange for him to say, "I was in the Gilbert Mercneary Group." At least the game would show some sort of indication that Ace is related to Gilbert, such as a ominous "........" or whatever.

At the moment, there's no evidence to say Ace is related to Gilbert. If being in the same mercenary group is enough to qualify people as being related, we may as well say that Flik is related to Pohl, or Mueller is related to Richard.

Ace did fight in the Dunan Unification Wars and was part of Gilbert's Mercenary group. I think its unlikely that Ace was Gilbert's son given that Gilbert would have had to be 16 when Ace was born. Not impossible, but not likely either.

Another piece of evidence against is the fact that the only son we know of that Gilbert has was in Zexen during the Dunan Unification Wars, while Ace was not.

EDIT: Vextor beat me to it.

Gilbert often talked of his home sickness for Zexen, and referenced to his family there, family being more than one person, most likely his wife and child.

Vextor · Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2007 5:59 pm Post subject:

Yes, his wife Marie (separate from Marie in Suikoden 1).

I think it totally slipped my mind that Ace was part of Gilbert's merc's! Nice reminder though ^^ Thanks guys!

Well, who knows. Gilbert might have some True Rune or something and changed his name to Ace because we really don't know. Its also weird that the Highland Army would get Gilbert unless he has some special ability. The Highland Army got Leon for his strategies, Jowy for his witt and True Rune, Yuber because of his taste for blood?, and Lucia for her anger for Greenhill. What does Gilbert have? A bunch of mercs? Besides, I doubt the Highland Army would guess that they would fight with Viktor and Flik so he got Gilbert. Think about it.
