Background
At some point in his life, Gaucher was involved in a car accident which resulted in the death of a man.

Rohan au Louvre
Gaucher is introduced as the responsible curator for the Department of Asian Arts at the Louvre. He gives Rohan Kishibe authorization to research Nizaemon Yamamura's painting "Under the Moon", but only for five minutes and asks him to leave behind anything he has. Surprised that the Louvre had a work of an artist he never heard about in the Z-13 section, which was long ago abandoned, he accompanies Rohan along with two firefighters of the security services and the interpreter Noguchi to investigate it.

When the group finally finds the painting, one of the firefighters has his skull pierced and is sucked into the darkness of the ceiling. Gaucher is the first to notice the ghost mob attacking them and attempts to call the police, believing them to be simple thieves, but is smashed against the wall and suddenly covered by tire marks across his body. Moments before dying, Gaucher recognizes a ghost as the same person who was killed in the traffic accident and is sucked into the ceiling's darkness. His body is never found and he is considered as missing since then.
