Gildenhos

Name: Gildenhos Araven Ostille
Alias: Gilly, Gil, Hos
Age: As Old as Empires, looks to be in early 20’s
Height: 6’ Glamoured, 2 stories tall NonGlamoured
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance:With his Glamour, he has curly, somewhat dirty-blonde hair that reaches his ears. He also has brown glasses, orange-brown eyes, and taut lips that always seem to be in a bit of a frown. He is often seen wearing brown, be it a suit or a sweater over a dress shirt and black tie. His NonGlamoured form is a brown dragon with golden yellow eyes.
Personality: Gildenhos is very serious, to the point, and rather dull. He is blunt with his words - that is, until you bring in gold, gems, or a beautiful painting to his attention. More often than not, he will be distracted by such things, eyes drawn to them, and light obsessive behavior. He is a decadent creature, and will sit and stare at valuables for hours, studying every last flaw and detail he can find. If something falls from his favor, he usually casts it aside, but still keeps it anyway. He’s a hoarder, after all.
Likes: Valuables (precious metals, jewelry, and stones), Paintings, Sculptures, and other such art.
Dislikes: Faded or tarnished goods, When people bother his hoard, and those who draw him away from shiny objects.

Skills, abilities and weaponry:
Dragon: He is a dragon. However, rather than just breathe fire, he will simply spit or drool molten magma. He finds it more effective, since everybody’s expecting fire, but rarely prepares for lava. His scales are also impenetrable by normal means, unless you have weapons specifically made for dragons. Those, however, will still have some trouble breaking through.
Knight: Should he not deem a situation worthy of dropping his Glamour, or he is fighting in a tight space, Gildenhos will transform partially into his dragon self, gaining his head and claws (occasionally his tail as well). He will then don golden armor and fight with gilded versions of weapons used in medieval times, particularly a sword and shield. At a distance, he will use a bow and arrow or a jousting lance.
Systema: Gilly has no time for rubbish. He uses Russian Systema as his hand-to-hand combat style because he is efficient and does not want to waste time.

Backstory:Gildenhos is the older twin of Hinsethim. He was also born when humanity became powerful enough to forge empires, but his purpose was to embody their Greed. He did not drift from his father’s side, fascinated by the way humans would trade money and goods and gold. Most of the time, he observed, entranced by valuables from afar. Unlike his brother, he fully understood why humans acted the way they did over such things. How could they not, when what they coveted was so precious and shiny? It was in the Middle Ages, when he learned of the human’s legends of dragons, that he formed his NonGlamoured form into the first one. Yes, humans created dragons, and Gildenhos created them from then on out. They are no longer as abundant as they were in Gildenhos’ prime, since there is nary a corner on earth that has yet to be explored or seen. As the age of serfdom passed, and humanity reached the Industrial Revolution, Gildenhos was troubled. His precious obsessions were no longer appreciated. But with Romanticism came the return of his brother, who spoke of the beautiful things the humans were creating. This was when Gildenhos was introduced to the world of art, and his obsession was given new life. He’s followed humanity closely since then, fitting in perfectly with the corporate environment that has sprung up in modern times.
