Robert Gilroth

The patriach of the Gilroth Royal Lineage, Robert Gilroth leads his family in Eclipse, watching over the citizens and ensuring both their safety, as well as his family's.

History
''From what Robert and his family told us, he has lived in his mansion/castle for centuries. Seemingly ageless and wielding a fearsome amount of power, the Gilroths have a symbiotic relationship with the villagers in Eclipse, providing them protection and safety in exchange for the occasionally blood donation. Which makes us breaking into their home to 'save' Lily all the more embarrassing. A lesson for us to learn about hopping into situations when we don't have the full understanding of what's going on.''

''Recently, he said that Asura Hunters, spiteful individuals looking to 'cleanse' the world of their kind, have been trying to hurt the villagers and his family in Eclipse. Though their origins are shrouded in mystery, it is not hard to assume they are simply a collective of people hoping to do the world good by killing Asuras. People who he had mistaken Dharyn, Phina and I for when we breached his castle.''

''The last we saw of him was during the attack on his castle by The Unknown Elementalist. He tossed the mirror to Selene, granting her a chance to buy us time to escape. I can only hope he and his wife are well. We did what we could, and poor Luna deserves to find closure.''

For better or for worse.

Personality
''Robert Gilroth is an odd man. He's both stern, yet easygoing. Kind, but forceful in his ways all the same. I don't think he is a bad man, but even a blind person could see the strained relationship he has with his daughter. With the little time we spent with him, it's hard to discern any more than base judgements. But if he himself is to be believed, he doesn't seem to like fighting and prefers to scare Asura Hunters away with bombastic theatrics using illusion powder rather than outright fighting them. Yet, if needed, he is not afraid to put his family first and take the lives of those too stubborn to not back down.''

''Though hard to understand, it is easy to determine his allegiance. He allies himself with those that place their turst in him, andd he protect them and his family with ruthless convinction. A man that I'm happy is (was?) on our good side, even after we invaded his home. The only repayment for his kindness would be to protect his daughter, and see that she returns to him.''
