Appearance & Personality
- Gil stands tall, even for an Elezen. But his frame is very slight for all his height. He has white-blonde hair and black eyes, that when you get close enough, look like stars in a moonless night.
- Gil is very proud of his name, and will only introduce himself as Gillandaris vel Jendahr, though most people call him Gil for simplicity's sake. Although he will never say otherwise, he actually likes when people call him Gil.
- Gil was very impacted by the death of his niece, Ellysetta, and it was this event that caused him to turn to Halone.
Biography
Childhood
- Gil was born to a tradesman father and a lesser noble mother. He was their third child, with two older brothers. He was born much later, as his eldest brother had already had a child before Gil was born. As such, Gil was caught between being ignored because his parents were tired, or being spoiled because he was so unexpected.
- Overall, Gil was treated well as a child, his brothers being extra father-figures to him that he looked up to. His niece, Ellysetta (Ellie) treated him like a doll as she was 9 years older than Gil.
Teenage Years
- It was as a teenager that Gil lost both his brothers in battle. This was a difficult time for Gil as he was losing everyone that he was close to. But it wasn't until his niece was killed that Gil really struggled.
- With the death of Ellysetta, Gil plummeted into a deep depression. His parents suddenly became overprotective, and their concern made his emotions more volatile. It wasn't until Gil wandered out into the wilderness one night that things changed.
- Gil left the confines of home, the protection of the village, and fully expecting to not live out the night, traveled until he fell asleep under a tree. In this moment, he had a dream/hallucination of Halone protecting him, saying she needed him to be stronger so he could enforce her will. In the morning, when he woke up, there was blood all around him, but no evidence of what happened. He took this as a sign that his dream was real, and has since devoted himself to becoming strong enough to do whatever Halone requires of him.
Early Adulthood
- The Calamity had another large impact on Gil. By this time, his father had retired, and instead of struggling to stay in their village, the family moved to Ishgard where his mother's family offered them a place to live. As soon as he could however, Gil left Ishgard and the smothering concern of his parents (who still send him regular packages) to become yet stronger for Halone.
