Description: He appears as an extremely gaunt Half-Elf, and stands approximately 5'9". He very much looks the part of a Sage, and his gloved hand is found clutching a whip. His hair is long and auburn with streaks of golden, and is pulled back with small yellow clips. His beard is golden, braided, and well cared for. His fair skin shows little sign of his aristocratic breeding.

Personality: He is envious of other's things. He hoards treasure, art, food, wine, and anything that he so desires. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Gerald is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: Born in the north to a Sage, Gerald learned a great deal about his father's area of expertise. He made a point of taking high paying jobs and getting most of it up front. When he grew older, he became a bit more civilized, usually hanging around bars and taverns. He began work as a mercenary for hire. He would embark on any mission as long as the price was right.

Motivation: He'd like to take his coworkers down a peg.
