  "description": "[Section=Gullax's descrioption]\n[b]Backstory[/b]\n\nGullax is a founding member of the Damhara, a nation-state ruled by a military dictatorship. The honorific title, \"Lusar,\" a title he does not use anymore, denotes he is a member of the powerful ruling class of the Damhara, known as the Lusar. All members of the Lusar are battlefield generals. The government of the Damhara closely resembles a form of organized crime, where each Lusar controls a portion of the country's military. Until his abdication, Gullax was widely seen as the greatest member of the Lusar, with an illustrious battlefield career. He was the oldest and only remaining original member of the Lusar. Due to his seniority, Gullax was widely seen as the face of the Lusar, and the de facto leader of the Damhara. Not all of the Lusar approved of this arrangment however.\n\nOne night, he escaped being assassinated, and fled the Damhara. During his escape, he was nearly killed by one of his men, who turned on him. The wound can still be seen on his head. He suspects members of the Lusar of organizing the plot to kill him, but he does not know who. Shortly after Gullax's departure as a member of the Lusar, the Damhara's rather cool relationship with the surrounding nations grew increasingly tense. The Damhara adopted a more expansionist view of its territory. Due to Gullax's criminal status in all of the surrounding nations, Gullax has no choice but to go into hiding. Given his formidable reputation however, no one is likely to come searching for him.\n\n[b]Personality[/b]\n\nGullax is a cagey military veteran. His insight on the battlefield is almost without peer. He is a rabid intellectual with a keen eye and a mind for nuance and details. Gullax tries to win his battles before combat begins by studying the behaviorial traits of his opponent, especially their fears and motivations, in order to enhance his illusionary spells. Due to his age, his stamina is not what it used to be. He relies on guile, manipulation, and insight to ward off danger. He prefers diplomacy and negotiation over combat, but when diplomacy fails, he recognizes combat must be swift and decisive.\n\nGullax is reserved, manipulative, pessimistic, and cautious. When dealing with others, he can be rude and dismissive, especially to those he considers too weak to fend for themselves. He has no compunction about the death of innocents. As a member of the Lusar, he sometimes caused the deaths of hundreds of innocent creatures, though he never directly killed anyone outside of the battlefield.\n\n[b]Appearance[/b]\n\nGullax can usually be seen wearing minimal clothing, along with a large cloak. The cloak used to be the robe he wears when he was a member of the Lusar. His robe was damaged during his escape, and he now wears the robe as a cloak. Being the son of a demon, Gullax is marked by his father's runes. The runes glow brightly when Gullax uses his magic.\n\n[b]Abilities[/b]\n\nDespite his appearance, Gullax is known more for his mastery of darkness and shadowy illusions than his strength. He can cast illusions on the minds of others, illusions that are not real, but are perceived by the target as being real. Practitioners of darkness magic are exceedingly rare, as it requires an individual to have innate psychic abilities, or extrasensory perception. Gullax is predominantly a magic user, but he is an accomplished swordsman as well. \n[/Section]"
