Gem Celestine

Childhood

Growing up Gem Balde lived in a secluded house with his family, with a quaint nearby village known as Quagmire.

Family

The father of Gem Balde is Gilbert Balde, a Human Ranger that worked as a Hunter. Gem's relationship with his father was friendly, however they were not extremely close. He volunteered for the local militia of Quagmire to defend against a native population of Elves. After a successful defense, everything returned to normal. He is alive and healthy.

The mother of Gem Balde is Emeny Balde. She was a lawful, good-faithed human that worked as an entertainer in the nearby village of Quagmire. Her relationship with Gem was indifferent. They were never very close. Emeny Balde was killed by a murderer at the age of 35, only 7 years after Gem Balde's birth.

Trauma

A bandit from the native Elf population sought revenge on Gilbert Balde for killing his brother in the attack on Quagmire. The bandit went to Gem's house to kill Gilbert, however Gilbert was out in the forest hunting animals. The bandit mercilessly slit the throat of Emeny Balde, while Gem hid in a closet. When the bandit departed, Emeny was left on the floor to die. After coming out of the closet, Gem Balde picked up his mother and watched her bleed out while in his arms. Because Gem's mother died at such a young age, he was left with major trauma.
