Goldoh Kinmeki

Goldy Gilded (ゴルドー・キンメッキ) is a swordsman who participated in the Bushin Festival tournament. While publicly known as the "Unbeaten Legend" and "Victorious Golden Dragon" for his unbeaten streak, this is only technically true, as the actual reason why he was undefeated is he forfeits fights he is unsure he'd win.

Appearance
Goldoh is a gorgeous handsome man with sparkling blond hair. As the name suggests, he's dressed in golden armor.

Personality
Goldoh is a highly pretentious individual who wants to look cool.

Despite acting like a flamboyant braggart, in truth, Goldoh was a coward who ran away the minute he knew he was facing an opponent stronger than him. He was deeply ashamed of this cowardice, hence why he hated his title "Unbeaten Legend" as it was a constant reminder that no one could beat him because he ran from the fight.

Bushin Festival
Goldoh travelled to Midgar and participated in the country's Bushin Festival. While watching the fights from the seatings, he encountered two students, one of them being his biggest fan. After boasting about his abilities, Goldoh witnessed the qualifying thirds round match between Mundane Mann and Gonzales and was surprised how incredibly weak the former was causing him to laugh. However, he stopped when Mundane somehow took down Gonzales easily.

When he entered the arena and faced off against Mundane on the qualifying fourth round match, Goldoh immediately tried to strike him down only to be shocked once again that his opponent somehow able to dodge his attack. He immediately jumped back before he could retaliate but only found that Mundane barely noticed what he was doing. Angered that he was being disrespected, Goldoh tried to kill Mundane using his most powerful attack. Unfortunately, he was knocked down by Mundane before he could deliver the attack.

In the anime, after the Bushin Festival, Goldoh packs his things and decide to riding a train to escape until Quinton follow him.

From Dark Knight to Slave
Goldoh teamed up with Quinton and the two traveled to the Lawless City to face the Blood Queen of the Red Tower. When they arrived at the building, they encountered the tower's watchdog. The two arrogantly fought the man but weren't able to defeat him, with Quinton being cut down by the watchdog's blade. Goldoh realized in horror that the watchdog was the White Demon. The Victorious Golden Dragon immediately fled, abandoning Quinton. Alas, he didn't get far as when residents of the Lawless City started attacking him.

Captured, a brutalized Goldoh was enslaved alongside Quinton. The two encountered Cid Kagenō and Claire Kagenō passing by when they tried begging for their help. Unfortunately they failed after the siblings left with someone else purchasing them to their horror.

Annerose state that if Goldoh been aiming for the top and actually took on stronger opponents, he could’ve made an outstanding dark knight.

Analytic Eye
Goldoh can accurately perceive another person's strength just by looking at them when he measure combat power based on the opponent's appearance and the martials arts also their weapons. He analyzes their behavior, attitude, aura, and gear, which he calculating those factors resulting in what he calls "battle power."

He used this eye for his preferred tactic is to make sure to gather battle data and chooses his opponents and battles wisely, because whenever he meets stronger opponents, he either flees or forfeits.

Mundane Mann / Shadow
After assessing Mundane's strength, Goldoh deemed him to be a weakling and thought he would be easy to defeat. However, he was shocked when he somehow dodged his attack and acted as if he did not even notice it. This seeming disrespect enraged Goldoh to the point that he tried to murder his opponent only to be taken down with a single attack. Goldoh would later learn that Mundane was the infamous Shadow.

Quinton
Despite having to know each other for a short time, the two bonded and quickly became friends. When the former veteran was defeated by the hands of the White Demon, the formerly known "Undefeated Legend" tried escaping the Lawless City effectively abandoning him. Alas, he too would ultimately be taken down the anarchic nature of the town and became a slave alongside his friend.
