History:
Gae’s family has always had close loyalty to the Green District. It has been tradition for the Bolgs, a family of farmers and hard workers. To give their sons two choices of careers inside the walls. Either that of a farmer, to plow and toil under the sun but be relatively safe from the brutality of man. Or to choose the path of the sword and join the Green District guard. Gae had opted for the second choice, having always had an interest in the military, their fighting styles, tactics and equipment. He was so good at the position that he excelled rather quickly, he was offered promotions to join the army and leave his guard role behind. But being so close to his family in his Green district guard duties, he wouldn’t want to abandon them. So he simply stayed put, and rose in the ranks. Finally becoming a captain and having many men serving under him.
Having spent a lot of time with his brothers as the smallest child, his skin became thick from the tormenting. He was a great fighter, always having to fend off his older brothers and their prodding. He was a great thinker, as the smallest in the bunch he was often left alone to think and imagine while his brothers went off to do big boy things. He would practice with weapons his father crafted for him while his brothers were out tipping animals and chasing girls. This introversion as a child tranisitioned him to become a great strategist in the guard as he could use his brains while most others couldn’t. He wasn’t the biggest or strongest but he could use his wits to outsmart his opponents and his superior weaponry skills to out maneuver.
Gae has put a stop to many riots, of greedy peasants who thought themselves worthy of the food people like his family slaved to bring to fruition, while not pulling their fair share to even deserve it. He has jailed countless criminals who would seek to overthrow the hierarchy and steal food for themselves. He has taken arrows to the limbs, been stabbed by spears, slit heretics throats and moved through the shadows to assassinate those suspected of plotting to take control of the kingdoms food stocks. Once a very happy child, he has grown more bitter, cynical and loathing of the lower classes who don’t contribute. Aswell as the upper classes who live off the fat that hard workers like his parents contribute. He would never express these views agaisnt the upper class however. They were the masters.
Privately however, and if it were up to him, he would throw all those lazy, hedonistic upper and lower class people whom contribute little, outside the walls. He would then proceed to hang each and every criminal on their first offense, no second chances. He had a strong hatred for the way Marcus had ruled in regards to crime, being far too lax on the scum polluting the city. Not engaging them regularly for fear of riots breaking out that even the army wouldn’t be able to control. Gae suspected him of even encouraging these criminals and taking a fair share of the profits for personal gain. He had begun suspecting this after noticing, while on the prowl in a crime infested district. Marcus’s daughter wearing a disguise, Gae being so observant, was able to catch a glimpse of her face as she changed costumes. He kept this to himself, not wanting to destroy the young girls life and reputation, for deeds he suspected her sick father was orchestrating.
When Marcus passed away, he was quite happy. He hoped Jalyn would swoop in and take power, he liked Jalyn and would have enjoyed serving under him in the military if he could leave his family. Jalyn he thought, was a much stronger man than Marcus, as most military men are when compared to their kings. Jalyn he hoped, would exterminate the criminal scum and make the kingdom majestic again.
