Gasper Vladi

Gasper Vladi is one of the male protagonists of High School DxD. He is a half-vampiric, cross-dressing male who has the ability to stop time and Rias' first Bishop. Because his powers were uncontrolled prior to the series, he was sealed in the Academy by Rias and was not seen again until Volume 4 of the novels. He is a first-year student at Kuoh Academy, alongside Koneko.

Appearance
Gasper is an androgynous looking male who is around the same age as Koneko with platinum blonde hair and pinkish-violet eyes. His hair is styled in short bob cut with several small fringes over his forehead. He wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform with thigh-high socks.

Personality
Originally a coward and a shut in, Gasper likes to wear female clothings claiming that girl's clothes are cute much to the anger of Issei. He also has a penchant with boxes carrying one with him all the time. As the series progress, Gasper starts to get more confidence and become braver.

History
Gasper is a child of a Vampire Lord and a human woman, and thus is hated by many of his own clan, including his siblings, mainly due to the Vampires discriminating which is stronger than the other races. Eventually, he was chased out of his house and was targeted by vampire hunters, later losing his life. It was around that time Rias found him and took pity in the boy, reincarnating him into a Devil through a use of a Bishop Mutation Piece.

Powers & Abilities
Being a half-vampire, Gasper has the ability to control bats and usually use them for reconnaissance. His Sacred Gear is called "Forbidden Balor View" (停止世界の邪眼（フォービドウン・バロール・ビュー） Fōbidoun Barōru Byū), and has the ability to stop the time of those he sees but is unable to control it.
