He immediately began analyzing it and after roughly a week of study, he had been turned insane by Zero's viral DNA however, he called it a very "liberating" experience. It was a piece of Zero, more importantly, a DNA sample of Zero. At first, he thought he had merely found a piece of junk, but it soon proved to be something far more powerful. Two weeks after the Eurasia incident, Gate visited the crash site. However, things changed when he discovered some interesting remains while skimming through the wreckage at the Eurasia crash site. Broken and bitter, Gate left the research team, becoming an anchorite somewhere on Earth. Alia was also one of them, although unwillingly.Īll eight of his Reploids were either sabotaged while on duty or labeled Maverick, but in any case, all of them were destroyed, with two of them, Sheldon and Turtloid, destroying themselves in suicide out of shame. However, this created jealousy and disdain between him and his colleagues, and they eventually began conspiring against him and his creations. Gate's Reploids were widely praised and used in various locations for several duties. Eventually, he succeeded and created powerful Reploids whose DNA couldn't be analyzed by the other scientists, such as Commander Yammark, Rainy Turtloid, Shield Sheldon, among others. He saw it as a challenge to find a way of analyzing both of them or at least creating Reploids with similar attributes. Both of them were completely unanalyzable and their inner functions couldn't be fully understood. He was fascinated by the Maverick Hunters X and Zero because their body structures and DNA was a mystery to the world's finest scientists and researchers. Gate used to work in a team of Reploid scientists, researching the potential of Reploid engineering. However, any compassion Gate might have had is completely lost when he is infected by the virus in Zero's DNA although he realizes that he is losing his sanity, he finds the sensation "liberating" and begins to dedicate himself solely to getting revenge on those who scorned him by creating a nation for high-end Reploids only, using the Nightmare as its foundation. Alia also mentions in the ending of Mega Man X6 that she and Gate longed to create a program resistant to all viruses. Gate grew resentful of those who did not acknowledge his talent, and isolated himself.ĭespite this, Gate appears to have some concern for the world, as he laments the damage caused by Eurasia. Gate could not understand as he considered them excellent Reploids and the heroes X and Zero also could not be analyzed and were not treated in the same way. However, due to him not following orders and not using his abilities properly, nobody gave him proper recognition and instead disposed of his creations due to fearing them. Being a genius in Reploid engineering and not afraid of showing it, he advanced to the point of being able to develop highly advanced Reploids that no one else could analyze. Gate aimed to make the strongest Reploids, believing that the best Reploids are completely unanalyzable, which is why he is so fascinated by X and Zero, and why he values the sample of Zero's DNA that he obtained so highly. Like many of the villains in the series, Gate desires a Reploid government under his leadership, and will gain it by any means necessary. He became bitter and filled with hatred when his creations were destroyed by his very own colleagues, especially because Alia was part of the conspiracy. During his time with a research team responsible for developing new Reploids, unlike Alia, he broke research protocols by making his creations unanalyzable, causing him to become a social outcast. In order to achieve his goals, he's willing to do everything necessary to get what he wants. Gate is a devoted researcher with a cold and sarcastic attitude, a large ego and an irreverent personality. In combat, Gate changes to a golden armor with white details and blue gems, and his labcoat becomes a cape, which he implies after the battle was the result of his research into the Zero Virus. He wears a long white labcoat, adorned by golden bands around the collar and the wrists. He is more defined however by his white lab coat featuring gold accents and cuffs. Another blue gem with the shape of a pentagon is located on the center of his chestplate. His helmet is distinguished by a pair of metallic blades running across the sides and a diamond shaped blue gem.

Facially, Gate appears to be slightly older than X and Zero. His clear face is recognizable for his sharp purple eyes and a confident expression. Gate is a tall male Reploid in purple armor.
