Appearance

Usual Garments/Armor: Geslin prides himself on always looking presentable and sophisticated. His standard garments include the finest dress robes (usually in black), dress shoes and a monocle or spectacles. While out in the world he can often be seen in robes made of a much thicker material, though no less elegant. He'll also don shoulder pads, a wide-brimmed hat and a mask in these instances. Several golden rings grace his skeletal claws at all times.

Other: An incredibly strong scent of perfume lingers around him.

Personality

Geslin Aldaine is as deplorable as he is deceased. His selfishness and opportunistic nature would surely make a goblin blush. There is nothing he will not attempt to exploit, no tragedy he is above profiting from. A greedy, vile vulture.

Despite this, or perhaps because of it, Geslin carries himself with dignity. Always keeping a civil tongue (despite possessing a rather twisted sense of humor), always presenting himself as a true gentleman, a legitimate businessman, someone you can trust completely...to your folly.

Alignment: Chaotic neutral

History

Geslin is the last of the Aldaines, a long line of prominent Lordaeron merchants. Throughout most of his life, he lived the opulent life of a noble; wealth, notoriety, extravagance, everything he could possibly desire. He received a first-rate education, and was even instructed in some basic magic. Unfortunately, he was also an exceptionally cruel youth, often using his magical training to harass the commoners of Capital City. Geslin inherited the family fortune and company upon his father's death, and his lifestyle reached new heights with regards to his hedonism. Despite this, he had managed to increase his magical knowledge significantly, and even use it to his advantage against his company's competitors.

During the Second War, Geslin contributed money and ships to the war effort; a calculated effort to increase his standing in the community. Over the course of the war, Geslin continuously heard stories not only of the battlefield, but also of a powerful new form of magic that had sprung up recently. Apparently, the orcs utilized something called fel magic, and many human magi had taken to imitating them, using this dark energy to become even more powerful. Always eager for more power of his own, Geslin secretly began to dabble in this dark art.

During the brief period of peace that followed the Second War, Geslin continued to increase his knowledge and skill in fel magic. He began to summon demons which he used to achieve his business interests, using the creatures as spies and, occasionally, assassins to cut down his competition. As he became more and more successful, he also became more and more careless. One night, a maid uncovered his summoning room and the horrors that lay within. Terrified, she left the manor house and informed the city guards. They raided the Aldaine house and found the room before Geslin could conceal it properly. When he resisted arrest, the guards used force and, despite his use of fel energy, killed him by planting an axe in his head.

All of this transpired one month before the fall of Lordaeron...

Geslin was raised as a mindless undead and, shortly thereafter, freed. Naturally, feeling lost and hopelessly confused, he joined the Forsaken in their efforts to rid the world of the Scourge. He acted as an instructor and consultant in the Magic Quarter, teaching aspiring Demonologists of fel magic and demon summoning. As he began to come to grips with his situation, he soon realized that undeath was a rather dreary affair, to say the least. He reasoned that the only way to escape this wretched, accursed existence was to attempt to reclaim some of his former status. It was either that, or death. So he left the Undercity, traveling across Azeroth (and Draenor) in search of a way to reclaim his former fortune.

After several years and several misadventures, he has managed to greatly increase his wealth. His latest venture, operating a shady goods shop and lounge, looks to be rather profitable.
