Martyr - Noun - One who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause, or principle.
Going off of this definition, Gallant is most definitely a Martyr: He's died for the lives of others on more than one occasion, actually. That means he gets Paradise, right? Heaven? Something better than what he's left behind?
If only.
For whatever the reason, Gallant doesn't get the traditional afterlife everybody else gets. He doesn't get eternal salvation, or damnation. Which kinda sucks if you ask him: Death is supposed to be some kind of closure, right?
So... Why does he wake up in a self described Limbo? Why does this Limbo have escapes into other realms of existence? And why does he insist on throwing his life down to protect others every time he gets out? Its not like he enjoys Limbo: The place kinda breaks his mind every time he visits...
Well, after getting himself jettisoned out into the vacuum of space so an escape-craft full of militarized civilians can escape a plague known as "Necromorphism" (The cause of which sets what's left of his brain against itself, apparently) he inadvertently falls into a rift in between realms. (Commonly referred to as a "Wormhole.")
Guess where he gets spat out?
Yep, good ol' Equestria. Time to find out what happens to a man who's died more than his fair share of times in a land full of colorful talking ponies who seem to be obsessed with helping the broken. And Discord. (Can't forget the Draconequus, can we?)
What could possibly go wrong?
