Gael Eserrah

Gael Eserrah was a Protector Aasimar Warlock, Bard, and perhaps Cleric that was among the first to explore the frontiers of Eskarya.

Background
It is said that all Aasimar are born to serve as champions of the gods, but this was not the case for young Gael. None could doubt his angelic heritage, for his eyes burned bright white and his hair shone a majestic shade of copper, but there was always something off about the child. He was crippled by illness and disease, left to waste away in his chambers as his parents slowly came to accept that his demise was as fated as his birth, and many wondered if this was the price of the gifts of Mount Celestia.

Finally, when his parents could bare his suffering no more, Gael was cast into the streets and forgotten about. He himself had all but given up when the angelic voice first whispered to him, the first voice in all his life that seemed truly glad that he was alive. When the divine entity offered to give him the strength to survive his maledictions in exchange for his services, the Aasimar gave himself willingly and wholeheartedly. His faith was rewarded when he suddenly found himself imbued with vigour beyond his previous limits, strength enough to match, and all the while the whispering continued.

Gael set out with the best of intentions, to help the downtrodden as he had once been and to protect the innocent from the foulness of the world, but there was only so much that he could achieve. Even with his celestial blood, he lacked the fortitude of even mundane humans, and he pleaded with his angelic patron to provide him with the means to seize his noble goal. In turn, the angelic being lamented that there was only so much of its power that could be shared with such a frail mortal. He would have to prove himself worthy by travelling to distant lands and surviving where even the mightiest had fallen.

This brought Gael Eserrah to Eskarya, where he would make good on his promise and prove himself. Then, and only then, would the Lord of the Hand and the Eye share with him another sip of the immortality he so craved.

Into the Underdark
As part of a second wave of adventurers sent to aid a party that had been lost to the Underdark, Gael boldly took action against the foul Drow and saved the lives of Lost Flame and Carnifex - the two survivors of the previous adventuring group.
