The anime does not give much backstory to Gauntlet, instead, it has him just wish to make Vash suffer. He is sent along with Gray the Ninelives and Leonof the Puppetmaster in the attack on Vash's home. After Vash seemingly defeats him, he kills himself by jumping into one of the city's energy cores, destroying it and himself.

Hoppered is capable of launching himself with great speed, allowing him to transform into a living projectile and plow virtually anything in his path. He also has a spiked hammer which he uses to move which doubles as a pistol, with which he has demonstrated remarkable skill and accuracy.
