Gilear is a wood elf who's lost some hair since his divorce and now wears it in a comb-over, which is a unique look on an elf. He's got a little bit of a paunch. He is often described as being sad and pitiable. He wears a short-sleeved king button up shirt which is often stained, usually with yogurt. He was once a counselor to Fallinel's diplomatic corps and provided information about the inner workings of different cultures beyond Fallinel. He met Sandra Lynn in Solace through work and quit his job to start a life with her. Regardless of how pathetic Gilear may seem, he still cares deeply about his daughter, Fig, and maintains a relatively good relationship with Sandra Lynn. He tries to help when he can, though he often fails, so he usually advises against giving him any responsibilities.
