Appearance:
Gerdish is a large, beefy man with arms like cords and an upper body similarly muscled to a small cow. His filthy blond hair is slicked back with some type of foul-smelling oil, revealing a plain, scarred face with expressive eyes, and a wry smile at either end of his mouth. His eyes are blue, and his nose is broad and flat, seemingly having been broken a non-trivial number of times, as have some of his teeth, which look to have been filed down a little - probably to help stave off the rot. His breath smells of meat, and he stinks of preservative and alchemical compounds.
He's seemingly covered in a patina of soil, with grime in the crooks of his neck, on his hands which constantly wear workgloves, and on the folding shovel he hefts over his shoulder. The other hand holds a lantern, and his meaty paws grip both with familiar ease. The lantern has an ancient skull of some unnamed humanoid attached with wires, hanging below, grinning the rictus of death evermore.
He dresses in a longcoat with obvious well-maintained armor underneath, thick canvas pants with a number of pockets, and heavy, broad-bottomed boots with well-worn soles. He wears a backpack with tools hanging off of it, including a hammer, a pick, and other utility items, and across his chest is a leather bandolier with a handful of iron vials.
When he moves, his thick hands bely a subtle dexterity, and his eyes, while bloodshot and sunken, indicate an uncommon sharpness.
The only clean item he wears is a silver holy symbol to Pharasma, which he keeps attached on a leather-and-bone strap around his neck. This is usually tucked into his shirt, but he pulls it out whenever he tends to heal himself or someone else before quickly tucking it back inside.
Behavior:
Gerdish speaks in short sentences, rarely elaborating. His unsettling smile is typically the only follow-up, and he rarely shows emotion, except to laugh heartily at certain things, sometimes inappropriately. He speaks little when working, but he has obvious skill with his tools, hefting them expertly. He stares too long into the distance at times, and when mealtime comes, he eats ravenously, preferring large helpings of meat. He rarely takes off his gloves, nor does he bother washing his hands before he eats much, obviously trusting on some inner fortitude to fight off any disease.
Background:
In his youth, Gerdish trained to be a priest of Pharasma, but it seemed that he wasn't quite cerebral enough for such a thing to take. The priests did find a good use for his brawn, however. He could clear a gravesite faster than most of the other youths his age - perfectly-sized for a coffin of any specification. He re-packed the soil expertly, and the graveyards of the church were all the better.
As he dug, and dug, and dug, he began to learn what he could from morticians, and the priests themselves, about embalming and minor divine magics that he could harness, and before long, he was serving as a blunt agent of the church. He managed to pick up a lot of information during his tutelage, which the priest were always surprised by, and he would serve as quiet spy for Pharasma wherever they needed to gather information about disruptions to the order of life and death. Few in a community question the need for a gravedigger, and he was self-sufficient. His mein and appearance ensured others gave him a wide berth under most circumstances, but always watched - he in turn learning all that he could from the people - living and dead - which he encountered.
