After having seen the world there and back again, becoming a librarian, scholar and having briefly served The Mistfall Order, Gaelin is now an independant explorer and scholar.

## Physical description

### Eye color

Ambers

Having lived multipule lifetimes, the Altmer seeks to discover the secrets that bound the worlds of Mundus and beyond together. Creating unlikely friendships, outlandish partnerships and mysterious enemies.

## Appearance

A relatively pale Altmer that appears to be in his prime, and the weathered expression through his amber eyes speak a great unnatural age. Blond trimmed side burns with a goatee on a wide jaw, accompanied with white-gold silken locks, tucked behind in a ceremonial fashion of his kin; decorated with pearls from Summerset's coral forests that hold the elegant braiding in place. Most notably on his face, he adorns a ruinic-pattern of black face paint that lightly run down his neck.

## Personality

At first glance, the sight of an Altmer with the expected sense of style of an Alinorian citizen, and the usual academic persuit. That when upon engagement is met with a warm fatherly smile, and courtious gestures of Summerset's studied etiquitte. A humble and learned mer, that delights in educating the curious and inquisitive. It's clear since this engagement kicked off, that this Altmer is the sparkling conversationalist. He, whom wouldn't shy away from wanting to know more about his partner. Perhaps a little too much?

### Traits & Flaws

A calculating mind hides behind clear honey-coloured ambers. The canny characteristic of his persuit to uncover secrets, fueled by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. And it being driven by a battle-hardend will and lust for discovery and adventure.

Due to his restless quest, and reckless experimentation to yield results. It is difficult for the Altmer to sit still and enjoy the fruits of his labour. It would require outside influience, and a tempting offer to make this circle-eyed Altmer put his quest on leave.

### Love & Hate

Exploring the pages of a book can spark imagintive wonders, but the pages that speak, explores passion and memory tenfold. So it is, that although Gaelin spends most of his time reading the dutiest tombs on the shelves, that brought him extensive academic knowledge. A conversation is what he values more, and through practice, has gotten to become an attentive listener.

### Thoughts by others

> *"Gaelin is perhaps one of the most misunderstood people I have met. Many take his words for gibberish and think they are with no real meaning, but that's where you would be wrong. This man and his mind are on a journey, a wheel that never stops spinning. He is a researcher; An explorer whose curiosity cannot be satisfied. He'll always keep digging for more - Be it literally or metaphorically."* - Daenaria Fay

## RP hooks

Helpful, friendly and transparent about himself and his knowledge, the Altmer is a sphinxlike figure. One observes Gaelin and visualises an average mage, the other digs to that what lies beneath, and discovers a shepherd of forces unseen, senses uncharted and knowledge esoteric. Whilst realms and magic have displayed many incredible features that have set a standard, some have come to perceive the Altmer to be or possess something unnatural.
