Appearance

Gary is a tiefling of remarkable poise, possessing skin the color of deep twilight and short, elegantly swept back charcoal hair. His horns are polished and curve neatly against his skull, avoiding any sense of the macabre. He dresses in tailored, high quality leather that mimics the style of a formal vest, ensuring he looks stage ready even when traveling through the mud.

Mannerisms

He has a habit of straightening his cuffs and adjusting his collar whenever he enters a new room.

Personality

He is professional to a fault, carrying himself with the quiet dignity of someone who has seen the peak of success and the depth of solitude. He is calm, articulate, and values order in all things, believing that a disciplined performance is the highest form of respect for an audience.

Ideals

Professionalism. One must always give their absolute best, regardless of the size of the venue or the depth of the forest.

Bonds

I carry the legacy of Take That with me, and I will always protect the honor of the music we created together.

Flaws

I am a perfectionist who can become cold and detached when others do not meet my exacting standards.

Quirks

He hums a harmonious middle C whenever he is deep in thought.
He meticulously tunes his lute exactly three times before every performance.

Background

Gary was once the centerpiece of the most legendary musical troupe in the minor kingdom of Manchesteria, the celebrated quintet known as Take That. His voice was like warm honey and his gift for melody earned him the adoration of thousands. However, internal disagreements and the departure of the group's most volatile member led to a dramatic and public dissolution. Gary found himself suddenly adrift, the weight of his legacy becoming a burden he was not yet ready to carry. In the decade that followed, he abandoned the glittering stages for the quiet solitude of the northern wilderness. He spent years wandering the wilds, surviving on his wits and the company of his lute, seeking to find the essence of music beyond the roar of a crowd. This period of soul searching transformed him, stripping away the ego of his youth and replacing it with a profound, disciplined understanding of his craft. He has recently emerged from his exile, returning to civilization as a more cultured and focused artist. The people still remember his face and his songs, greeting him with the reverence of a living legend, and he now seeks to find the new harmonies that will define the rest of his life.
