CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Gerald Greybeard
Canon: The Wizard's Tower (HBO TV)
Canon point: S6E10, after Little Timmy explodes
Age: 849
History: Wiki
Suitability: Gerald is a powerful and ancient wizard who has spent his whole life honing his magical talents to protect himself against the encroaching Darkness which threatens to destroy his world. Though he has never left the Wizard's Tower and therefore has very little experience with the outside world, he is capable of defending himself and will do anything he can to survive.
Is this a re-app? Yes, previous acceptance here.
Inventory:
- His pet lizard, Jeremy
- His wizard staff
Powers, abilities and/or inhuman traits:
Prehensile beard (Regained while previously in game)
Gerald has a 5m long beard of silky smooth grey hair that he can control with his magic and which acts as an extra limb. He can use it to pick up objects or people no heavier than twice his body weight, or to wrap around others and pull them closer to him. The beard can be cut with sharp objects as with regular hair. If it is cut, he can grow it to its full length again with another regain.
Lightning magic
- Level 1: Gerald can summon small bursts of lightning from his hands, which have a maximum reach of 10m and will temporarily stun one enemy for one minute. (Regained while previously in game)
- Level 2: Gerald can summon larger bursts of lightning from his hands, which have a maximum reach of 20m and will send up to three enemies flying back from him at once. They will also be stunned for 30 minutes. (Regained while previously in game)
- Level 3: Gerald can summon large bolts of lightning from his hands, which have a maximum reach of 50m and will send up to five enemies flying back from him at once. They will also be stunned for an hour.
- Level 4: Gerald can summon bolts of lightning from his hands, or from the sky if the distance of his target is greater than 50m. He can burst standard enemies (excluding his Manifestation) into an explosion of viscera, killing them permanently.
MANIFESTATION
Character flaws/traumas: Gerald is very prideful. As a child he was accepted into a prestigious magical academy within the Wizard's Tower, where he has been honing his magical abilities ever since. When he was 15, he was informed that he would one day become powerful enough to defeat the Darkness that has been poisoning his world for millennia. As such, he's incredibly convinced of his own importance and believes himself to be something of a 'Chosen One'. This makes him irascible, difficult to deal with and dismissive of others, while his pride also blinds him to his numerous other flaws and makes him capable of being truly cruel to others because he doesn't believe they are as strong or important as him. When he was previously in game, he learned some humility, but still has trouble letting other people fight their own battles.
Gerald is obsessed with destroying the Darkness at the expense of everything else. Several millennia ago, Gerald's world was infested with a powerful Darkness, which began to seep into all facets of life and destroy life as its inhabitants knew it. The Darkness makes soil fallow and causes many terrible diseases, as well as poisoning the minds of rulers to make them cruel and dictatorial, obsessed with accumulating wealth at the expense of the citizens. Ever since he was small, Gerald has been determined to destroy the Darkness and save his world. This means he has made almost no important interpersonal relationships, and is a very lonely man, driven exclusively by his obsession. He lost his brother to the effects of the Darkness when he was a boy, and so his determination to destroy it is also a personal one, motivated by revenge.
His previous biggest trauma was his father's death, but now he is consumed with trauma and anger as a result of his mother's selfishness in abandoning her family. After the events of Season 5, Gerald finally left the Wizard's Tower to find his mother, Sally, and tell her about his father's death. Sally is in many ways a reflection of Gerald, who has no regrets about the choices that led to her being forced to abandon her family because of her health. She told Gerald that, even knowing her attempt to harness Light magic would have been fruitless, she would have done exactly the same things she did in the past if she had the opportunity to change her ways.

Manifestation name: Glowing Sally
Character trait(s) the Manifestation reflects: His complicated feelings about his mother, including his resentment of her choice to harness Light magic, have led to his new Manifestation resembling her.
Description: Glowing Sally is a humanoid creature of blinding blue-white light that hurts to look at directly. It has no discernible features but has the same shape as Gerald's mother. It crawls on all fours, limping and clearly sick, and periodically lets out screams of pain and anguish.
Attacks and behavior: Glowing Sally mostly attacks by trying to scratch and bite its targets. Because Gerald has learned to work more collaboratively with others and has formed close relationships with several other characters in game, Glowing Sally will sometimes overlook Gerald in favor of attacking any close friends who may be nearby instead.
Path towards resolution: To say the least, Gerald will have mixed feelings about returning to Rhodos, and is likely to have a hair-trigger temper when he comes face to face with his new Manifestation. To attempt to resolve the new Manifestation, Gerald will have to forgive his mother, something he will find very difficult to do, as he cares more about other characters and has a found family of his own in Rhodos. He can no longer conceive of doing what Sally did, especially since he had a close father-daughter relationship with Arya Stark when he was previously in game.
