Gall

Chief Gall was born in 1840 and grew up on the plains of South Dakota. His name was given to him when, as a hungry orphan, he ate the gall bladder of an animal. Before this event, his name was “Bear shedding his hair.” He fought with Chief Red Cloud at Big Mound and other battles around the years 1866 to 1868. A renowned warrior and leader, he was one of Sitting Bull’s war chiefs during the Lakota assault on General Custer during the Battle of the Greasy Grass (also known as the Battle of the Little Bighorn). It was a great victory, but both Gall and Sitting Bull realized that the U.S. government would return with many more soldiers bent on revenge. Therefore, to protect their people, Gall, Sitting Bull, and other Lakota fled with their families to Canada. Eventually, Gall and Sitting Bull parted ways and Gall returned to the U.S. to settle down on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Gall became a prominent supporter of assimilation into European culture, even serving in 1889 as a judge on Standing Rock’s Court of Indian Offenses. He died in South Dakota on 5 December 1894; the following words were inscribed on his memorial: “An Honest Man Should Always Be Remembered.” In Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, Gall has seen the sun set on many battlefields. He is wise to the ways of his enemies and the spirit world upon which he relies. But don’t mistake his calm demeanor for weakness: Gall and his Lakota warriors can strike with deadly speed.
