To please him, Baron Mort-Pointard bought Giselle from her peasant father and gave her as a gift to Gargantax against her will. When the girl fled, since the titan was inconsolate and would not fight, the baron sent his men to recapture her, and they eventually return with Giselle and Conan. Meanwhile, Fafnir was picked to challenge Gargantax, so the baron arranged the duel in the arena, where he then witnessed his champion being eventually defeated and killed by Conan.
