Biography[]
Traveling with a new crew member[]
Giselher and his fellow Rats rush out of a bar and ride off on horseback to a safe place to reconvene, where they brag about what they had accomplished. Falka conveys her desire to part ways with the group, but doesn't know where she can go, prompting the Rats to list off a series of possible places she can go. Before walking off with his group, Giselher suggests that Falka wait until daybreak before heading off.
Eventually, Giselher and his group enjoy themselves in a dimly lit bar. During a heart-to-heart between Mistle and Falka, Mistle mentions Giselher when she talks about her fellow crewmates.
A botched heist[]
Paired with Iskra, the two cause a scene outside of the town they were in the tax collector's home. While Giselher had the tax collector's guard attention distracted, Iskra and the other Rats, minus Asse and Falka, who were stationed close by on the wagon, infiltrated the tax collector's building.
After the distracted guard helped Giselher repair his wagon, the guard noticed that Iskra was gone. To make matters worse, Reef tossed the tax collector out the window, alerting the guard stationed outside his door.
Although they escaped with a large sack of gold, they were chased by the tax collector's guards on horseback. Out of desperation, Falka tosses the gold from the sack, creating a distraction that allows them to escape.
Afterward, however, Falka's action was deeply resented by the other Rats, who considered rejecting her from joining the Rats. On the other hand, Falka pointed out the flaws that the other Rats committed that led up to the botched heist. Falka's rebuttal would impress most of the other Rats and prompt them to reconsider their initial apprehension toward Falka.
The following day, the Rats tried to run away from what they suspected was an angry mob, but in truth was a grateful mob that had returned their gold to them after the Rats stole from the tax collector.
Walking down a pathway outside the town they were in, Giselher officiates Falka's becoming an official member of the Rats.
