Appearance
Gustav and Glam share many physical appearance, both having blonde hair and blue eyes. Gustav can usually be seen in a suit and bowtie. Gustav also has a brown mustache.

Mary Shvagenbagen
Mary felt fear and extreme caution in front of Gustav, so she had to keep her mouth shut. However, no matter what, Mary still tried to intercede for her son, noticing her husband, crossing all borders but it was to no avail as Gustav was too stubborn and she was too weak.

Lydia Shvagenbagen
Gustav's attitude towards his daughter and eldest child Lydia, is also not fully disclosed. Even if he saw much greater potential in his daughter, Lydia still lost the trust of her father as shown in "Glam" through the bruise on her cheek made by her father due to him figuring out that his son was up to something and resorted to beating the answer out of Lydia in order to find Glam's secret stash of rock music and the scale model of the city.

In his will, Gustav still complimented Lydia and handed most of his property to his daughter: an estate with a total area of ​​32 hectares, two mansions, four Rolls-Royce, all of 1998 , two Mercedes McLaren, a collection of paintings worth $ 2,000,000 , gold jewelry worth 4 $ 1000,000, as well as 89 % of the shares in the firm for the production of billiard balls, while also leaving her son his collection of watches but Lydia threw a tantrum over not getting a yacht he owned since the keys had apparently gone missing.

Sebastian "Glam" Shvagenbagen
When Sebastian was a teenager, Gustav always beat his son's arm with a ruler until it bled repeatedly when he made the smallest mistake. In the season 1 finale, Gustav discovered son's rock album, his scale model and personal diary, where Sebastian confessed what he really thinks of his father. Gustav promptly threw them in the trash, keeping the diary and saying that they will discuss son's "literary abilities". Then he claims that Sebastian is going to see a therapist to "fix him". Causing Sebastian to run away in order to live the life that truly made him happy and to play the music he actually loved, causing Gustav to be really pissed of and scream at him, saying that he was not his son anymore and even if he comes back he will not let him back in, he shouted how Sebastian chose the Rabble. After that, Glam never saw his father again and never forgave him.

When Gustav died, he didn't leave his son any money or valuables, but instead left him the box that contained Sebastian's broken scale model of the city they lived in. However, the reason for him returning the scale model to Glam remains unknown.

Personality
He was an aggressive, demanding, stubborn, controlling, abusive, cold hearted man who wants nothing but success in every part of his life. As in the career of his children for example (under his terms). He also has sexist views since he was more lenient with Lydia when she got third place in an audition because "she was a girl" and had to compete with "real talent" while he had no mercy with Glam when he got second place, showing that he didn't think women could be at the same level as men.
