Father Gilbert

Father Gilbert was the second eldest, and had originally planned to join the knighthood as his brother had. Instead, he found the violence unbearable, and began to seek solace from the church. This was only exacerbated by the fall of Davis to the revelry of drink and gambling. It pushed him further into the church, until he chose it as his path, both for his personal demons and fears, and as a means through which he could help others like himself and his siblings. Originally, he had sought to join the monastery, and did so, for a time, but, between the fall of Davis, and Siana's child, Gilbert found he could not step away from the world as he had hoped.

When Siana returned with a babe at arms in 465, he found himself tasked with raising the child. He devoted himself to god, and to the care of this new life, and has done his best to guide and shape Cein to the best of his abilities.

He became the shepherd of the parish in a smaller village, Hamleg Peak, and reports to Father Barrett, who oversees the larger region. While his village only knows Father Barrett by name, they have no reservations when it comes to Gilbert. They call him Shepherd Gil, and ask for his advice and help in all manner of things. Much as he has raised Cein, the village, too, raised the child. Since Cein left to become a page, Gilbert is routinely asked after the child and their wellbeing.
