GELIK ABERWHINGE



Gelik is a spry, energetic gnome with blond hair and a neat goatee. He dresses like a noble at all times. ("If you can't take the time to dress properly, no one will take what you have to say seriously, and they'd be right not to!")

With liberal use of prestidigitation, his fine clothes always seem freshly cleaned. Only the ink stains on his fingers break the illusion of a proper gnome nobleman. ("If you don't have ink stains on your fingers, no one will take your writing seriously, and they'd be right not to!")

His hippo tattoo is on his left shoulder.

Gelik is quick-witted and a talented speaker. Unfortunately, he has a mean streak when it comes to the misfortunes of others; he often simply can't help himself from making a snide comment or a scathing remark at another's expense.

While Xhanfaerd has a more artistic touch with writing, Gelik's writing skill, equal (and more reliable) skill at linguistics and cryptography, and dedicated skill as a scribe means his position as the party's Pathfinder Chronicler is still secure at this time. He is a perfect second to Aron's skills at diplomacy and negotatiations, has a jarring ability to mimic any sound his voice box can even remotely simulate, and oddly, he has a greater grasp of the Mwangi's overall geography, even over that of Fronaldo or Pim.
