Gaelin

Gaelin is a wizard Companion of the Campaign 3 party. He is a close friend of Callum Zidane, originally traveling with him and Marfer as a member of the Broken Horns. 
== Description ==
=== Appearance ===
Gaelin is a 5'7" (170cm) high elf with medium length, slicked back brown hair and a roundish face. He wears robes of mossy green and cornflower blue, with a wavy silver trim along the edges, as well as black rubber boots. Gaelin has a golden medallion with the Broken Horns emblem on it that he wears on a brown cord necklace around his neck. He is not muscular but he isn't entirely out of shape either. He carries a spellbook bound in brown leather that is always oozing with a mysterious slime. This translucent goo is an icy blue color and is multifunctional, being used in both of his companion abilities: Gooey Armor and Ooze Slide.
=== Personality ===
Optimistic and aloof, Gaelin hasn't quite mastered being an adventurer or a wizard yet, though he is trying. Though he isn't much of a combatant himself, Gaelin enjoys assisting others in fights to ensure their safety. In his downtime, he studies scrolls and spells, produces ooze, or fawns over Emiko. He also knows many of the legendary figures wandering Xi'Shu and finds himself in awe at their strength and ability. Though his skills in wizardry are unique in a faction like the Broken Horns, Gaelin often feels like he doesn't belong in the monster hunters' ranks and questions his worthiness to be considered a member.
== Story ==
Originally part of a monster slaying trio with Callum and Marfer, Gaelin travelled over Xi'Shu like most of the Broken Horns, looking to save people and expunge the increased threat of dangerous creatures caused by The Great Fluxx. His initiation hunt involved a stray Gelatinous Cube in the sewers of Kochuza. He used his then icy magic to freeze it solid so that Callum could shatter it with his strength.
At the Sanctum of the Verdant Trickster, Gaelin picked up a few Fox Clan tomes as well as helped the newly formed Campaign 3 party defeat a massive plant serpent known as the Snapdragon. He decided to join Callum, Walker, Echo, Yarra, and Astryd in their journey back to Astryd's home after Ego corrupted the Snapdragon's heart while Marfer fled southward.
From there, Gaelin joined the party at the Refracted Reformatorium, the Chroma Claw Monastery, and the Okori Estate as a valuable asset to their team.
When Tudogeni's Tome began to regenerate the body of the deceased Mane, Gaelin was exiled along with the party and most of their allies they had met up until then. This group travelled all the way to The Dollhouse, where they currently reside.
== Abilities ==
=== As a Companion ===
Gaelin uses his ooze to both protect and speed up the party, defensively covering them in Gooey Armor while also helping allies get into or out of the fray with Ooze Slide.
=== As a Wizard ===
Gaelin has a combination of icy and slimy magic in his spellbook, casting spells like Absorb Elements, Hold Person, Longstrider, Shield and a modified version of Maximillian's Earthen Grasp to protect himself from harm by creating a gooey barrier with his arcane power.
== Trivia ==
* Gaelin's ooze closely resembles the color and opacity of a Gelatinous Cube because he infused his spellbook with the frozen shards as his trophy for hunting the monster in the sewers.
* Gaelin is the first companion that the party gains access to during the events of Campaign 3.
* His hair is slicked back with gel created by his spellbook.
* He knows the Mending cantrip, but everything he repairs has a slight blue tint to it.
* Despite being conceived with the last name "Ellana," it is unclear if this is indeed his last name, as it's never mentioned in-game.
