Sassy towards rivals and delightfully polite towards allies, he makes a loyal friend once he deems someone trustworthy. Also a huge romantic, though he seems more likely to simply flirt than get into serious relationships.
History:
Before the founding of Hekates, Glad had spent much of his life as a vagabond. He traveled city to city, offering his spells and services to greedy nobility in secret. Despite the taboo of witchcraft, the idea of cursing their enemies or visions of the future were too great a temptation for many of these humans. Glad would spend his time in comforts of castles and mansions until he was at risk of being found, then vanish without a trace. His name was lost to history, but his reputation as a dark prince, or a son of satan, continued to be whispered among many royals wishing to make a deal with the devil.
Within the last century, however, the witch hunts had become more common and violent. The heads of witches hung outside the city gates, a warning to all those who approached. It had become apparent that his kind, and those who desired to seek his kind, needed a sanctuary. And so, he and a few others that had found each other along the way, hunted for a secluded place to call home.
He currently holds a position in the Hekates-Aradia council as the head speaker for the dark witches.
+ Glad's opinion towards vessels had changed over the years. In the beginning, he would often use his clients or his client's servants as temporary vessels for magic. It wasn't until later that he truly saw the benefit of a bonded vessel, and the greater powers they could reach when properly conditioned over time. Even still, he had treated vessels in the past as tools, until falling in love with one not many years ago. After her death (tragically caused by accepting a summoned demon too strong for her to handle) he vowed only to bond with the strongest of vessels, promising them an incredibly torturous trial if they dared try for the job.
