History: He was born into a rich family. In his 14th year, his parents were killed by a orcs raid, leaving Gerard alone in the world. After a stint in an orphanage, he was adopted. During his travels, Gerard and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic.
