Appearance

Physical Description

Gael is of an average height for Elves, and a slender physique with only the faintest amount of muscle definition. He has spent the past few years living on his own, so practicing basic survival skills in the harsh environment of the Greying Wildlands gave him the build he needs to survive.

Apparel & Accessories

Gael wears worn down leather armor that clearly has seen better days. It looks well maintained, but its aged and has clearly been worn for quite some time. Underneath the armor is an outfit befiting somebody of elven nobility, with elements from Molaesmyr as well as the Kryn Dynasty, however the attire seems rather antiquated as it is a hand-me-down from his family.
 
At his hip, attached to a chain is a large black leatherbound book covered in gold embossing with a variety of different symbols and patterns. The pages look as if they have been gilded blue that is filled with pages and pages of notes that have been collected all over the years, each page having a pearlescent shine to it.

Mentality

Personal history

Being the youngest member of his family by hundreds of years, and the only member to be born outside of Molaesmyr, he never knew the life of nobility that the rest of his family did. He often felt like he was never a part of the family in the first place.
 
After a healthy, quiet life working as an editor in the Uthodurn research group, working as an editor of scholarly papers that would be put together into books that would be sent to the library. But at the age of 80, he had his first of what would become many dreams that held great secrets. He found himself in an unfamiliar, near endless library filled with books of any topic he could think of. Picking the first book he saw off the shelf, it was a book on Molaesmyr, filled with vivid details on all things culture, architecture, celebrations, all he could think of. He could now try and understand what his family had lost.
 
Eight years ago, Gael had a confrontation with his sister Bree, that lead to a bad fight and resulted in Gael never seeing her again after trying to talk her out getting involved in a potentially dangerous group of people.
 
Seven years ago, he admitted to his brother Caine that he knew of a secret that he had been keeping for over a year. This made Caine immediately suspicious of Gael as there was no possible way for Gael to know of this secret outside of spying on him.
 
Five years ago, he talked his sister Zephyr out of joining a dangerous expedition to Foren which resulted in her being home when her house was broken into and most of her belongings being either stolen or destroyed. Her body has never been found, and Gael feels responsible for her death as he was the one to convince her to stay home.
 
A few days after that event, he had another dream where he met a mysterious figure called Fern who seems to own the library he visits in his dreams. And in this dream he was told it would be smart to leave Uthodurn before things get dangerous for his life.
 
He left the city two days after this dream.

Education

Gael had a basic education from his upbringing, raised on old books that were saved from Molaesmyr from his families personal library, but they could only cover so much. Most of his education he got from the libraries of Uthodurn.

Employment

Gael worked as an editor in the library of Uthodurn, compiling research papers and making them ready to be printed into books to be placed in the library for future research. Other duties included organising shelves and assisting scholars perform some of the research they were tasked with completing.

Failures & Embarrassments

Gael is responsible for the death of his eldest sister Zephyr. He successfully talked her out of going on a dangerous expedition to Foren, but this was a mistake, as later that day Zephyr's house was found ransacked and filled with blood. Zephyr's body was never found, but she has been presumed dead for over five years now.

Morality & Philosophy

To Gael, being a good person means acting in the best interest of others. Even if it means doing something that is not good for you. As long as he can do what is best for those around him, he will keep trying to be a good person.
