Gillius Rockhead
Gillius Rockhead (ギリウス ロックヘッド Giriusu Rokkuheddo) is one of the playable characters in Golden Axe: The Duel.
Story[]
Gillius Rockhead is a dwarf that comes from a family of distinguished fighters. His great-grandfather, Gilius Thunderhead, is the legendary axe man who helped slay Death Adder. It's not easy living in the shadow of such an ancestor, but Gillius, too, has perfected axe-battling and has become a renowned warrior.
When news of Death Adder's reappearance reached the town of Guillegun, Gillius Rockhead was the first to prepare for the war. The people of his town must not suffer again.

Notes[]
- In the English manual, Gilius Thunderhead's name is written as Gillius and Guillegun is mistranslated as Gilliam.
- In Gilius Thunderhead's case, it is possible the change was done to match Gillius Rockhead's name.
- Also, the manual states that Gilius Thunderhead used the Golden Axe to slay Death Adder. This is not true, as Death Adder is the one who yielded the Golden Axe. However, this may be due to an error occuring in the tale as the years passed, or the fact the Gilius's axe is golden in the arcade version of the first Golden Axe game.
