Gaff

"The energy of the universe grips the sky, the sky rules the earth, and the earth returns to sand. Water puts fire to sleep, but it is not in water's nature to go up stream in the river of time, and THAT is the Eon Family providence."

- Gaff in "Ally's Secret"

Gaff is the honorable ally and Guardian to the Eon Family in the series.

Description
Gaff is the 9th Guardian to the Eon Family, and so has been tasked with preventing harm to Marty as the young successor learns to master the power of The Iron Fist. Gaff is constantly shown to be very dutiful and honor-bound. In episode 11 (Confronting Fate), he is shown to be quite insistent that Marty never venture too far from the protection of his blade when they are traveling to the Ancestral Home of the Eon Family. After Marty had completed his training as the Heir to The Iron Fist, becoming Gaff's superior, Gaff still feels the need to aid in protecting his young master.

History
During the First Robot War, Gaff helped defend against the threat of the Gigantors, though specifics of Gaff's participation are unknown.

Gaff is over 100 years old.

Trivia

 * In episode 11 (Confronting Fate), Gaff calls The General "Kahn" many times in the story he tells Marty, even though Kahn is later shown to be a completely separate character.
 * In episode 11 (Confronting Fate), Gaff calls Marty's father Eon. This statement is, however, inaccurate, as Eon lived 100 years before the show's events take place.
