Background:
Alyria (Gabriel’s adopted mother): Cousin, you shouldn’t push him so hard. He is but a boy.
Hobart Deverin: Alyria, I feel your concern but I see greatness in him. He is not of this natural world. There is something special coursing through the lad’s veins. Spare no expense. He shall have the best training our riches can offer!
Perhaps the Deverin family saw how his natural affinity to magic might benefit the clan one day in the future.
Due to his Peri blood, Gabriel always held a rapt fascination with fire. He was drawn to flames like a moth. One night when he was about 10 years old, while staring into the cooking fire tended by his mother, he accidentally sparked the flames, creating a stream of thick smoke that filled the room. Panicking and not knowing what to do, the young Gabriel ran out of the room, confused and disoriented with only a slight impact from the smoke. Unfortunately, his adopted mother was not so lucky and was severely injured by the smoke. With tears streaming down his face as he clutched his unconscious mother’s body, Reggie vowed to suppress his fiery desires, even while continuing his study of the arcane arts.
Eventually, his memories of fear and terror from that night dampened as Gabriel’s mother recovered, but not his resolve to fight his inner yearnings. That night also took a physical toll on him as well as it left him with a frail and weak body. Because of his lack of strength, Reggie redoubled his efforts in focusing his mind to absorb as much knowledge as possible.
As he reached adulthood, Gabriel now understands why his family pushed him. As he feels the power of magical energy coursing through his body, he thinks to himself, “Master Hobart was right. I am special. I am destined for greatness. “
Personality:
Gabriel has a kind heart and a gentle soul. However, as he grew up, all he heard was how beautiful he was and how special he is. So despite his good looks, he tends to think very highly of himself, and at a subconscious level, feels everyone else is beneath him at an intellectual level. This may also be because he is very sensitive about his lack of physical prowess. However, most people overlook the sometimes insulting offhand comments he might make because he does genuinely care and is fiercely loyal to his friends.
Having been raised in a life of luxury, Gabby has an almost phobic disdain to the dirt, sweat, and filth of normal society, especially adventurers. He constantly keeps himself clean and seeks clean environments while avoiding dirty nastiness. It’s just “ugh,” y’know?
Once taken as a friend, Gabriel is extremely loyal, willing to assist whenever necessary. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to tell him how great he is to invigorate additional effort. However, if someone has been deemed unworthy of Gabriel’s attention, then he will maintain a cordial attitude but will most likely refrain from any but the most necessary interactions.
Appearance:
Gabriel has thin bones and is sorely missing muscles of any kind. However, he is surprisingly agile and tough. He keeps his head shaved; the only hair on his head is a long, white braided beard on his chin. His skin is of a reddish tone, exhibiting his Peri blood. Gabriel usually just wears a simple robe of various colors (his favorite are green, blue, and silver) that he keeps meticulously clean, either through laundering or magic.
