Biography

[To be added soon]

Personality

When Gerrell was a young man, he was full of fancy, with large dreams of becoming a knight, like his great grandfather had been. He was an pleasant and easygoing man, albeit with a strong prejudice against the ill intented, with a small circle of close friends in his hometown. He cared deeply for those around him, and especially his girlfriend Charlotte, so when he saw his chance to join a force for good he took it. While active on the Vigil, Gerrell was fully committed to extending his own special brand of justice. Utilizing the heaviest armor and weapon he had access to, he cut a merciless path through the wicked, and began adopting more and more of the crusader's teachings.

After sustaining his crippling injury, Gerrell slowly began to lose his original spark. He slowly grew more and more bitter, while becoming more and more introverted. He stopped sharing as much with his family, and usually only opened his mouth to complain about something. He became distant to his wife Charlotte, and harsh to his son Lance. After Gerrell's escapade, he changed for the better, having begun to realize how important both the roles that he and his wife play are. He began to act more like how he did as a younger man, becoming open and much more pleasant to his family. He even began a budding friendship with Vera's adoptive father, Cassidus, as well.

Skills and Abilities

As a young man Gerrell was an exceptional warrior, trained in the use of all martial weapons, and all forms of armor, though his skills with the greatsword were exceptional. He had a reputation in his days on the Vigil for being one of the toughest sons of bitches around, as he usually took a beating from his lack of a shield or seemingly disregard for his own safety. Despite this he almost always seemed to be able to bounce back quickly.

Aside from his combat skills, Gerrell is a proven leader who can function under stress, and is an exceptional horse handler.

Appearance

At the age of 43, Gerrell appears as a weather worn man, with a short temper. His chiseled features lie creased from years of stress and resentment. His wild brown hair often stands on end, or appears heavily wind blown, with a slightly unkempt beard of a similar style. He dresses simply, most commonly in a beaten brown overcoat, and red shawl, with a faded vest, dark trousers and knee high boots. His frame is lighter than it once was, but still hides power that one wouldn't expect from one of his build. He often walks with a slight limp, bringing with him a chipped cane wherever he goes.
