Gernald is a gruff, older man. Years of sailing over the salty seas have given him a gritty "piratey" voice. I feel that any accent could work for Gernald, so feel free to try something different (nothing wrong with a little Jack Sparrows, but he's not the only pirate out there remember!)
"Gernald is a simple man. He stays out of all this “magic” stuff and usually solves his problems by smashing them. Aside from waking up with a mouthful of sand on a shore nearly a year ago, he has no recollection of the past. Gernald has become obsessed with his past life, and is determined to discover who he really is. With his gut intuition, Gernald has surmised that he was once a sailor or pirate of some sort, but is not certain on any details. Aside from the torment of feeling like a lost soul, Gernald is plagued by voices that only he can hear. Sometimes they are quiet, and sometimes they become roaring, but they never go away. He never knows what the voices are saying, they speak in a language he’s never heard. They could be speaking to him, about him, to each other, to someone else, to something else… So, understandably, Gernald has begun to let his sanity slip like wind through tattered sails."
