Chandler191 for Gauwalt Sky
Gaulwalt Sky is a study in contrasts. To those unfamiliar with him, he is the very embodiment of cynicism and greed, but those who've earned his trust know a different side.
Cynical: Gaulwalt is not one to see the world through rose-colored glasses. Having been exposed to the harsh realities of life from an early age, and later the cutthroat political climate, he has developed a jaded perspective. He often expects the worst from situations and is rarely surprised when people act out of self-interest.
Power-Hungry: Above all, Gaulwalt values power. It is the driving force behind his every action and decision. He craves control, dominance, and influence. This desire for power has seen him bet his life for an entire country and dive into the treacherous world of treasure hunting for the most potent of magical artifacts.
Loyal to His Own: While Gaulwalt may come off as cold and calculating to outsiders, those within his inner circle, such as the members of the Circle of 9, know his loyalty and protective nature. He genuinely cares for his subordinates, ensuring their needs are met and that they are protected from external threats. This fierce loyalty has engendered a deep sense of camaraderie and trust among his closest allies.
Indifferent to the Plight of Others: His pursuit of power and wealth often comes at a cost, usually borne by the common people of the Maystone Union. Gaulwalt rarely shows concern for how his policies affect the masses. As long as the coffers are filled and his luxurious lifestyle is maintained, the struggles of the common man are of little consequence to him.
Despise for Politics: Ironically, despite being the leader of a nation, Gaulwalt holds a deep-seated disdain for politics. He loathes the constant backstabbing, the superficial nature of political relationships, and the never-ending dance of maintaining appearances. Yet, he acknowledges its necessity, if only as a means to further solidify his power.
Complex: At his core, Gaulwalt is not merely a one-dimensional tyrant. His experiences, desires, and relationships have shaped him into a multi-faceted individual. While he may not win any popularity contests among the general populace, his charisma, intellect, and undeniable prowess in the magical realm make him an unforgettable force in the world of magic and politics.
