After he is ordered by Riki to accompany Ben's platoon to search for soldiers, he follows Ben loyally through the series. He has a role mainly as a minor character most of the time.
When Ben's pack travels to Kasumi Dake to meet the English Mastiff Moss, his son Jaguar is injured by Sniper and Hyena.
After Jaguar drags himself to the pack, Great is the one who cares for him. Great's most memorable moment is when Bemu challenges him to lay on a railway and wait for the train to come. The challenge is really a test for Great to see how brave and loyal he is.
The dogs in his pack begin to panic and tell Great to move, but he refuses with stern dignity. But as the train is about to hit the platoon leader, Bemu jumps in and saves him. Great tells Bemu that his appearance doesn't matter and that the true value of the male comes from inside.
