The travelling monk Gong joins the Shining Force early in their adventure to stop the resurrection of the Dark Dragon. He provides his team with decent damage and middle-range healing so he can stand up as a useful all-around fighter. While not the strongest of the Force, Gong is always around to provide support from his ever-useful Mary Poppins-esque backpack, filled with useful camping items that can help him out in numerous situations, though most of which don't help much in a duel. He also seems to be the only person in the Shining Force universe who ever took the time to bring along bugspray.
