## Description

### Physical description

Gaisgeyak stands at 5'10" and weighs 150lb. He has white skin, brown hair and blue eyes. He wears leather armour and a green coloured cape. His main weapon of choice is a longbow, however he also sometimes duel wields with a dagger and handaxe.

### Personality and traits

Gaisgeyak puts the safety of civilians at his highest priority and will always fight selflessly for their freedom. Despite this however, he is untrusting of most people, due to him spending a lot of time alone. He is generally fond of other humans and elves, but had a disliking of dwarves until he spent time with Gundren Rockseeker. Due to past experiences, he has a special hatred for goblins and orcs and wishes to completely rid them from the face of Erobia. Gaisgeyak made friends with Bazton Shazzlebreak, who often gives him herbal remedies to soothe his back pains.

## Biography (limited to what the characters know)

### Early life

Gaisgeyak left his parents at a young age and isn't sure if they're currently alive. He was later on given the name 'Gaisgeyak Abailer' and has since forgotten his original name. He has had bad experiences with goblins and orcs and he killed a goblin at the age of six.

### Discovering Wave Echo Cave

In 3256, Gaisgeyak was hired by Gundren Rockseeker in Neverwinter to be part of a group of adventurers to help rediscover the long lost Wave Echo Cave. On their way to Phandalin, they found Gundren's cart after it was ambushed by goblins of the Cragmaw Tribe. They managed to rescue both Gundren and his companion, Sildar Hallwinter, bringing them both back to Phandalin. While in Phandalin, they defeated the Redbrands who had been terrorising the town and recaptured and subsequently bought the ruined Tresendar Manor. The group along with Gundren found the entrance to the mines, and explored it, killing the monsters that infested the caves and finding the legendary Forge of Spells. They eventually found Nezznar and his gang, who they promptly fought and killed.

### General in Dalazor

In autumn of 3256, Gaisgeyak departed with the Shadow Chasers and travelled south to Waterdeep, then east to Dalazor, where he became a general of a garrison in the Dalazorian army with Azamat Yusupov as his second in command. In early 3257, his garrison ambushed a group of invading Akoya who had been attacking the travellers Professor Skant, Bargledaggle and Niloufar Seraqi, who he brought back to his camp. Qalton Kesk arrived the same day to recruit Gaisgeyak for his mission to take down the Bloodthorns leader Dalvon Harravan, which he agreed to. He travelled with eight soldiers and the rest of the group to Mazpilseta where they assisted in the defeat of Paradox who had been terrorising the village. They then stayed another night at the Fortress of Pevnost, and explored the newly rediscovered Temple of Chodum. They reached the Bloodthorn's base the same day, and upon entering realised Qalton had led them into a trap in order to eliminate Gaisgeyak. They successfully defeated Dalvon's gang and killed Qalton in the process. After the fight, Gaisgeyak returned to Dalazor with Azamat, Niloufar, Berrian and the two surviving soldiers.
