| Information |
Little is known about who Gerard De'Santiago really is, other than a self-proclaimed freedom-fighter for Myrken Wood against what he proclaims is a corrupt and diseased body of government.
The man himself is not physically imposing, standing of average height and of average build, though he seems skilled enough with his sword to hold ground with the likes of Kerrak. The leader of The Hand of Myrken, he is seen always dressed in the militia's colours, which consist primarily of blue, with white to offset it. The aspect that holds him appart from the common soldiers is simply the rather large, flamboyant hat he chooses to wear.
There have been several families who have spoken for Gerard, claiming to have long known his family, and thus Gerard, further tying him legitimately to Myrken Wood. His claim of a common blood implies a simpler life before his current role, and with such an explanation as to why his name was previously unknown within the city.
However, two questions remain: how does a commoner know enough to build and train an army, and what will come after the realization of Gerard's proclaimed goals?
After a confrontation by the councilors of the time during a meeting, Gerard De'Santiago vanished, his camps left in disarray without the charismatic leader to guide them. For several weeks the ranks were maintained. Numbers slowly dwindled as time passed, and when the government changed, the Hand was disbanded. It's desire, after all, had been acheived even if it had never once moved to enforce it.
