Political Affiliation: [Libritarian- By definition it is simply this: One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state.
Gaddok believes in a moral society where people take care of one another, and therefore don’t need to have the constant interference governing forces. ]
3 Base Traits: [- Practical – Resorceful - Patient]
Personality: [Growing up in the shadow of a successful traveling merchant hasn’t been easy, especially since he shares no interest in becoming one himself. He has, however, taught himself to be quite resourceful both in communication and with his surroundings. Gaddok is somewhat of a “MacGyver” of his era, coming up with the most ridiculous inventions with no more than the items on hand to perfor tasks that were otherwise unfeasible.
Resourceful inventing has led him to develop a great deal of patience. Gaddok required perfection out of his inventions, surprisingly his virtue of patience carried over into his conversations and everyday life.
Gaddok practicality might be his ultimate downfall in conversation. He may have inherited his father’s charisma and overall presence, but when his mouth opens and words fall out, they tend to be brutally honest and more often than not people can’t handle his honesty; though his loyalty and commitment to society as a whole won’t lead him to hold anything against an individual, unless they are morally off in their choice of lifestyle and refuse to seek guidance.
Gaddok learns best through experience, which has led him to a great deal of injury. He generally works best by himself. ]

Past Occupation(s): [ - Sail scale trapper: As a youth(6-12ish), Gaddok’s father had him go out in search of Sail Scales for their trade business. This was a key time for him to develop his inventive, resourceful skills.
-Merchant: As Gaddok got older, His father began bringing him along to teach him his trade; give him a taste of the fruits of his labor as a Sail Scale Trapper. As much as Gaddok appreciated the extra currency in his pocket, he grew rather attached to the creatures he caught, and seeing them be traded off for various purposes left a bad taste in his mouth, especially when all he received in return were a few bits of metal. Of course as time went on he became used to the transaction, and understood its purpose. It was another key point of growth in his life. ]

History: [This tale begins with a lonely traveling merchant who wandered into the lands of Tale on a business venture. He happened upon the most breath taking sight, a leaf priestess, whom not only occupied a good portion of his waking thought, but also haunted his sleep. Upon one of his routine visits to her quaint little village he finally had worked up the courage to make the first move…
The rest seemed like history, they hit it off, got married, had a beautiful baby boy and moved to his hometown of Iory in the land of Sauti. His business was booming, and the people of Iory were so thrilled that they offered him a position as a ‘Counselor’ or governing figure of their village. He humbly accepted this great honor; however it would seem his shift of power had darkened the doorstep of his marital home.
He turned on his wife, forcing her to abandon the ways of her people and adopt those of the wind people. He became more controlling over who she associated with and what she wore; everything about her had to be of his people. Their son would be raised as a member of the wind society, and know nothing of his mixed race.
And this is the life Gaddok has come to know. His father was away most of the day tending to the needs of his people or business matters in his sail scale trade. His mother tended to the house and their son. Gaddok had a list of chores to be done in the morning, then the majority of the day to himself. At night he would check the live traps before heading home. Most of the time his father was yelling at his mother about something; things rarely got physical. Gaddok would generally take his supper and head to his room, being sure to return the plate to the kitchen before heading off to bed.
One of the few good memories Gaddok has of his childhood is the day he learned of his mothers’ people. It was close to sunset when he tailed his mother out to a grove not too far away from their house. He witnessed her praying to what seemed like nothing. Startled at first, his mother passed it off as her getting fresh air, but knowing her husband would be away, she began teaching him her ways; her real ways.
Tersa was the name he gave the earth. It was easier for him to assimilate to the religion that way. She gathered a bit of earth and placed it in a decorative glass vial, strung a thin piece of leather around it and gave it to him, saying that he would never be lonely as long as he had that vial. Tersa would always be with him, and as long as he respected the earth and all that comes from it, she would bless him with good fortune.
Gaddok continued to practice the worship of earth in secret, but of course life at home didn’t improve, so when he was old enough, he left home to be a traveler. It was devastating for him to leave his mother behind, but he was sure to always send letters, trinkets, and currency back home to let her know that he was well. ]
Family: [ Mother- the light in his darkest times, his mother has been a stable positive part of his life from day one. No matter what happened he could always go to her, confide in her all his secrets, and she would make everything okay again.
Father- A man Gaddok respects yet loathes at the same time. His father taught him all he knows in a business sense, but he also taught him how to not treat a woman and what not to do as a father. The man is well respected among the village, due to the thorough façade his family puts on, but also as a leader and as a businessman.
