Gildarts Clive

Gildartz is one of Fairy Tail's S-Class mages. Gildartz is widely accepted by all the members as the strongest member in the guild under Makarov. Wither or not he is as powerful as Makarov is widely debated. He seems to be as reclusive as Mist Gun as he apparently left one day for unknown reasons. What he looks like is unknown except for the back of his head which was seen on the cover of Chapter 100. He apparently has spiky hair.

When Luxus Dreher tried to take over the guild, both Luxus and Mist Gun agreed that he is by far the strongest of the S-Class. However, Luxus stated that Gildratz is "never coming back". This coresponds with Makarov's dismissive behavior of him saying him becoming guild master was "just impossible". Also, during the war Fairy Tail had with the Phantom Lord Guild, Kana Alberona and Mirajane didn't even bother looking for him to help. These words and actions could indicate that Gildratz and Makarov (or the guild as a whole) had a falling out one day.

Gildratz current whereabouts are unknown.
