If Gianavel could be described in one word, that word would be
"solitary". The image of the "tall, dark stranger", he is a man of
little words and even less emotion. One wouldn't be in the wrong to
call him stoic or reticent: indeed, his mannerisms are downright
laconic. Aloof and enigmatic, Gianavel will literally hold people at
arm's length until he warms up to them and deems them worthy of trust;
don't hold your breath, though, since that will take a very, very long
time.
Many who have interacted with him would
remark on his straightforwardness. There is no sugar-coating with this
man; he will say things as it is, even if the truth hurts like hell.
Though he is generally polite, his lack of emotion and his bluntness of
speech often lead to others viewing him as harsh, apathetic, and
cold-hearted. Many would be surprised to know that Gianavel isn't blunt
out of cruelty, but rather out of social naivety. Because of his
rather lonely childhood, he never really developed the social skills
needed to express himself, and so only says what he thinks.
None can deny, however, that he is incredibly skilled. He is a man of
his word, seeing any and all assignments he is given to the end and with
complete thoroughness. His diligence in his line of work, his
adeptness in the skills required, and the devotion he pours into
serving his clients is unmatched in the Gienah Fraternity, rightfully
earning him the title "Shadowstalker". Despite all appearances,
Gianavel isn't truly without heart. Behind the impassive face is a man
with the noble, chivalrous soul of a knight, a gentle soul that is made
startlingly clear in his actions. A steadfast individual, Gianavel is
incredibly protective of and unerringly loyal to those he has sworn
fealty to, willing to risk life and limb to see to their safety.

History
тнєи ωнч ɗσиˊт чσυ sнσω мє тнєяє ιs α ғυтυяє¿
Gianavel was raised in a quiet home. Both his parents worked as
informants for the Gienah Fraternity, and because of their careers,
however dangerous, they were able to create a comfortable living
environment for their son. However, a rat was their undoing; a citizen
believing they were doing their country a service pointed out the
couple. A few days later, they were killed in a "freak" accident. The
now-orphaned Gianavel was sent to live with his grandparents, who had
no clue their daughter and son-in-law had been affiliated with the
Fratnernity. And so, in the quiet of a small town, a five-year-old son
of assassin informants grew up, as unaware of the darker part of his
family.
Even at a young age, Gianavel was a quiet
one. He never really spoke to anyone except his grandparents, and kept
mostly to himself. Though his introverted nature worried many of his
teachers, but it was also very clear since his childhood that he was a
gifted child. He picked up on many things at a much faster rate than
any of his peers; by six he had the vocabulary expected of a child
twice his age, and was the top of his classes. His only drawback was
his inability to make friends, often singled out for his reticence and
apparent giftedness. Indeed, he was often bullied, but whenever he was
questioned about it, his only excuse would be that he had accidentally
injured himself.
This seemed to change when he was
sent to Alioth for page training. Moving into a new city, Gianavel was
given the chance to start over. And start over he did. The boy dared
to step out from the shell he'd created for himself all through his
childhood, and soon had created friendships with a small group of
fellow pages. Though Gianavel continued to outshine the others, these
friends did not seem to like him less for it. For three years of his
life, Gianavel felt a joy and relief to be accepted for whom he was.
Alas, not all that glitters is gold. Near the time of the squire exams,
he was returning from the library to his classroom where he was
studying with his friends. Outside the door, he overheard their
conversation; in the end, he was merely being used as a reputation
booster for these so-called "friends" of his. As expected, he
immediately retreated back to his solitude, and entered high school
friendless once more.
His squire years were almost
a repeat of his childhood ones. Alone, he kept to himself, still
topping most everyone else in academics, arts, and athletics. The only
difference was that he was no longer the object of bullying. This fate
fell on a singular girl who was, in many ways, similar to Gianavel
himself: a quiet, shy individual whose performance in whichever fields
she partook in rivaled that of Gianavel's. At first, he ignored them,
happy to stay in his little world. However, the bullying got
progressively worse, and finally, unable to stand the unjust treatment
of a girl, he intervened. In his anger towards the others' cruelty, he
lost control and nearly strangled a student while hospitalizing several
others.
The results were devestating. Though he
was officially penialized with suspension, his peers turned their harsh
treatment onto him, portraying him as a delinquent and making his life
miserable. Gianavel held onto the belief that he had done right to
defend the girl, until he realized that she, without any ounce of
remorse, turned her back on him along with the others. It was the final
straw; hurt by the multiple betrayals, Gianavel closed himself off
entirely, leaving the city and the way of knighthood to return to his
grandparents.
Not long afterward, his parents'
past caught up to him. It came in the form of a letter asking for an
interview from a business group he'd never heard of. Uncertain but
hoping that the interview would lead to a job to support his family,
Gianavel went to the location given. Upon his arrival, he was
confronted with four men, all of whom attacked him and were beaten. His
client then approached him, proclaiming that he had passed the test
and offered him the job as an assassin. Without anything better to say,
Gianavel agreed, and so began his life as a member of the Gienah
Fraternity.
Said life wasn't difficult. As it had
been with the other aspects of his life, he rapidly picked up on the
skills necessary to survive the new world he lived in. Although he now
lived constantly in the potential of being discovered or killed,
Gianavel found that he rather enjoyed moving about so often. Under
different pseudonyms, he used his career to forget the burdens of being
"Gianavel", and was able to support his grandparents' lifestyle untill
they passed on from old age. Rumours began to circulate that he would
become the next Men Alphard due to his incredible skill.
Of late, however, his recurring dreams of a strange alien world had
grown more frequent, along with a foreboding, ill feeling towards the
Fraternity. Secretly, he broke all ties with the group and fled, knowing
that sooner or later the repurcussions of his actions would catch up
to him. Taking up various hired hand jobs, he has been wandering
aimlessly throughout Tolem since, always on the lookout for any from
the Fraternity looking for his head.
