Those of the people of Glacier who had still been close enough to see the battles for their city had, of course, spread tales of the southerners. For example, the tale of how Gilgamesh Wulfenbach had built a giant lightning canon in the middle of the battle with Reshiram. It even had the advantage of being mostly true, though in stories such as these, whether or not the events described actually happened was a largely irrelevant detail. Clearly, someone who could do something like that was someone to be taken seriously, and was VERY smart. And so they had awarded Gil with a hat.

But not just any hat. This hat was four times larger than Gil's head. It was purple with red stripes, it had spikes AND wings sticking out of it, it had a torch on the top, and as a final detail, it had a plaque affixed to the front that read: "GILGAMESH WULFENBACH: SHMOTT GUY!"

Suffice to say, Gilgamesh looked like an absolute twit wearing it. But they had been SO INSISTENT that he have it, and every time he tried to take it off or "lose" it, someone ended up bringing it back to him. The smart guy couldn't be without his hat, after all.
