Gerhardt is polite enough....when people agree with him. He has the unshakable belief that he is always right, and when he's wrong, he'll usually blame somebody else.
The trouble is, he isn't very good at expressing himself. He acts very angry when somebody says something he sees as incorrect. He's not actually that upset, but comes from a culture where you often have to be forceful to get your point across.
Appearance:
Gerhardt is fairly good looking, for a half-orc. His looks favors his human side. He has pale, grayish skin, and thick blond hair. He has a great bushy beard that gets very thin and ragged when exposed to water. When he gets angry, his skin gets taut, and his cheekbones become quite visible.
Backstory:
Gerhardt's father, Svuen Quickblade, was a human Ulfen, but only in name. When Gerhardt was born, Svuen abandoned him to adventure in the south.
Later, the reason was discovered, despite the efforts of Svuen's ashamed wife: Gerhardt was not a pure human. He had orc blood. And Svuen's wife was not an orc.
Gerhardt never met his actual mother, and never learned the circumstances. He turned his back on his father, and devoted himself to the Ulfen way.
Unfortunately, the Ulfen did not like him. He was soon apprenticed to an old druid named Wesil Eilif. Wesil taught him the ways of Gozreh. But at heart, Gerhardt was a warrior. Once he had learned all he could--and taken Eilif's name, for he felt it fit him better than that of his 'traitor' father--he left.
The Ulfen had not accepted him. Though he still valued their customs, he decided to move to a place where people would have to respect him.
He hasn't found such a place yet. But he is going to keep looking until he finds it.
