History
Owner of a local tavern in a small village in Alsace-Lorraine, France and the appointed "town hero", Gaston is a strong and muscular man who occupies himself with hunting, both on animals and for Belle, a woman he is interested in. Although he hunts after Belle, who indulges herself in books, he doesn't think highly of women reading books or thinking. Despite this sexist way of thinking, Gaston has three women - the Bimbettes - lusting over him, which he leaves in the shadows in favour of Belle. After being humiliated by her, he comes across Belle's father, Maurice, in a state of panic saying Belle has been captured by a beast. While everyone else laughs at him and kicks him out, Gaston plots to throw Maurice into a mental asylum and blackmail Belle to marry him, else that will happen.

Later on in Beauty and the Beast, Gaston begins to realize that Belle has developed feelings for the Beast and manipulates the townspeople into storming the Beast's castle with the intent to kill him, claiming that the Beast should be left for himself.
