History
Or-Gaule grew up in a small village in France. Through unknown means, he managed to reach his Awakening and become a Desperado by the age of 10. On his tenth birthday, Or-Gaule trapped all of the residents of the village in a chapel, taking control of them with his Blazer abilities. Or-Gaule killed all of the residents, except for his sister, Iris-Gaule, who he controlled to kill many of the people. The government eventually broke into the chapel, but Or-Gaule managed to escape, using Iris to stall the police. This incident became known as La Croix Sanglant. At some point after this, Or-Gaule was brought into Rebellion by Wallenstein.

Or-Gaule controlled the Akatsuki leader Reisen Hiraga, as his puppet. When Stella destroyed Hiraga, she attracted Or-Gaule's interest leading to him rebelling against Rebellion.

The Opening of a Tragedy
Or-Gaule appears in Cradleland, where the Cradleland-Team, consisting of the leader Johann, Luke, Mira, Enalis and Lid. Or-Gaule easily overwhelms the team, taking control of Johann, who then kills his entire team. Or-Gaule then takes control of the whole country and kills the current King of Cradleland.

Night of Massacre
Or-Gaule is revealed to have destroyed the Rebellion headquarters. He fought Wallenstein and was almost defeated by him, although Or-Gaule was not taking the fight seriously. Wallenstein is then killed by Naseem Al-Salem, who orders All-Goal to stop messing around. Or-Gaule then meets his two other followers, Ein and Big Baby, who have killed 7 of the 12 Apostles. Or-Gaule and his followers then head for Cradleland.

The Nation Named Vermillion
Or-Gaule later makes Johann call Lunaeyes and invite her, as well as Ikki and Stella, to Cradleland. This works, and when Lunaeyes, Stella, and Ikki arrive and meet Johann and the rest of his team, who are actually just bodies being controlled by Or-Gaule.

Or-Gaule the ambushes Lunaeyes, Stella and Ikki, and attacks them with Grand Guignol. Ikki manages to block this with Ittou Rasetsu, although this drains him of all his power. Or-Gaule then subdues Lunaeyes, while Stella is fighting Johann. After seeing Or-Gaule tormenting her sister, Stella activates Dragon Spirit and attacks Or-Gaule. Or-Gaule though takes control of Ikki and puts him in front of Stella, so she's forced to stop. All of the sudden Iris Ascarid appears and cuts off Or-Gaule's right arm.

Despite getting his arm cut off, Or-Gaule is unfazed and even excited by Ascarid's appearance. Ascarid though chooses not to battle Or-Gaule, and simply teleports Lunaeyes, Stella, and Ikki back to Vermillion, with a knife she got from Norman Creed, the Vice-Leader of the League of Mage-Knight Nations.

Kardia Urban Warfare
Or-Gaule later appears in the Battle of Kardia between Cradleland, controlled by him, and Vermillion forces supported by the League of Mage-Knight Nations. He arrives riding on Johann's Device's true form, along with Lunaeyes. Lunaeyes then demands that everyone stop their fighting, and declares that the tournament between Cradleland and Vermillion will be held, to decide the fates of the two nations. This was an agreement she made with Or-Gaule.

Responsibilities as a Royalty
After the announcement, Or-Gaule explains his reasoning for agreeing to Lunaeyes' terms, saying that he didn't expect the League to intervene so quickly, and he doesn't want them to interfere in his playing with Stella and her country. Or-Gaule also calms down Naseem, who was annoyed by Or-Gaule stopping his fight with Nene Saikyo. Or-Gaule tells the enraged mercenary that he will be able to fight Nene in the upcoming tournament.

Or-Gaule, along with Naseem, Ein, Big Baby and Johann, is later announced as participating in the tournament as Team Cradleland.

Imperial War Outbreak
On the day of the tournament, Or-Gaule and the rest of Team Cradleland face Team Vermillion in the capital of Cradleland, Lucier, that is the battlefield for the battle royale tournament. As the tournament starts, Naseem creates a sandstorm that sends everyone, apart from Nene, flying through the air. Once he has landed, Or-Gaule uses multiple puppets that resemble the people of the La Croix Sanglant incident, to torment Ascarid. Infuriated, Ascarid destroys the puppets and calls to his brother, using his real name, Orleus. Or-Gaule then appears, ready to face Ascarid, noting that this will be the continuation of La Croix Sanglant.

Storm and Stress
Or-Gaule and Ascarid battle, throughout the capital, with Or-Gaule using his strings to dodge many of Ascarid's slashes. Despite dealing a great deal of damage to her, Ascarid is able to remain uninjured thanks to her Device, Orichalcos, healing any wounds she receives. Due to this, Or-Gaule instead attacks her emotionally, reminding her of the people that died in the incident almost 10 years ago. This causes Ascarid, to become more, angered, charging at Or-Gaule even more furiously. Or-Gaule attempts to use Marionette to take control of Ascarid as he did in their childhood, but this ability doesn't work on Ascarid, due to her abilities as a Desperado, which have caused her hate and persistence to become like a curse that prevents Or-Gaule's abilities.

Or-Gaule continues to attempt to use his other Noble Arts, Deus Ex Machina, and Grand Guignol, to attack Ascarid, but she continues to push through, managing to damage Or-Gaule through his Spider's Nest string-armor. Or-Gaule then attempts to use another tactic, attempting to suffocate Ascarid with his strings, as her recovery abilities won't save her from lack of air. Despite being strangled by Or-Gaule's strings, Ascarid keeps on attacking him, crushing his wrist and trying to strangle him herself, before she loses consciousness. Or-Gaule though manages to escape, using his strings to climb up to the sky, where Ascarid can't reach him. However, Stella suddenly attacks him from the behind, using Katharterio Salamandra.

Abilities
Desperado: Or-Gaule is a Desperado, a person that has broken the chains of fate. As a Desperado, he has an incredible amount of magic power, even greater than Stella. As he exists outside of fate, he also has shown being very capable in the manipulation of fate itself, being able to spread fear around him.

Doll Manipulation: His ability as a Blazer, Or-Gaule can manipulate the concept of "Dolls", which lets him utilize all manner of natural materials in order to create dolls, which for combat. He can also use his power through his own dolls from even a great distance from his actual location as shown with Reisen Hiraga who had participated in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival for Akatsuki Academy. This isn't much of a combat-oriented power but can be used in more indirect ways.

Great Speed: Or-Gaule has shown being quite fast, being able to dodge multiple slashes from Ascarid. He uses his strings to improve his maneuverability.

Great Endurance: Or-Gaule is capable of withstanding a large amount of damage and keep on fighting, like in his battle against Asacrid.

Puppets: Or-Gaule is mentioned having one thousand, seven hundred and sixty-two mechanical puppets, which he can control from anywhere.
 * Reisen Hiraga: Hiraga was one of the puppets of Or-Gaule. He used it to become a part of Akatsuki and enter the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. It was destroyed by Stella Vermillion.
 * Deus Ex Machina: One of Or-Gaule's dolls, and presumably his strongest one. It is gigantic and wielded a whip.
 * Copy Puppets: He has a number of puppets, which resemble the victims of the La Croix Sanglant incident. One of these copies is Iris Ascarid in her childhood. All of them were destroyed by Ascarid.

Device
Black Widow (地獄蜘蛛の糸, Hell-Spider's Silk): Or-Gaule's Device takes the form of multiple threads. They are sharp enough to cut through people and can be used to launch large objects like arrows. These threads can also be used for communication.
 * Marionette: Or-Gaule can use his threads to control other people. He was even able to control hundreds of people simultaneously. He was also capable of controlling other Blazers and bring out their full power.
 * Grand Guignol (殺人遊戯, Murder Party): A Noble Art, in which Or-Gaule uses his threads in order to cut all his opponents into dozens of pieces. It was dangerous enough to force Ikki to use his Ittou Rasetsu in order to defend against it.
 * Spider's Nest: Or-Gaule surrounds himself with an invisible armor, made of threads. It is strong enough to repel bullets and explosions.
 * Dance Macabre (亡き魂遊び, Dead Spirit's Play): Or-Gaule's Strongest Noble Arts, which activates after his death. This forces back all the pieces of his torn body together and is able to replace them using all the nearby rubble or other materials. Dance Macabre makes him far more powerful as well as his Noble Arts, as he was able to overpower Stella using Dragon Spirit and almost choked her using his threads. Because Or-Gaule is just a dead body he can't be killed by the average method and only way to kill him is to burn him.
 * Le Grand Guignol (虐殺遊び, Massacre Play): Or-Gaule most powerful offensive Noble Art, which uses all of the threads making it far more powerful than Grand Guignol and it would have killed everyone in Lucier if it were to be released.
