Gellan (NE male human noble) is a well-spoken, dapper older gentleman with a neatly trimmed beard and a fancy wardrobe. With his cunning instincts, he has positioned his family to become the most prominent merchants in town.
Gellan seeks to keep his businesses functioning with as little interference as possible. Having a seat on the council puts him in a perfect position to maintain this while supporting all aspects of the traditionalists' agenda. His popularity in the faction is second only to that of Eda Oweland.
Because Gellan is the wealthiest man in town, he garners a great deal of popular support from the many feasts, entertainments, and other diversions he supports with expenditures and donations. He pretends to care little for the daily functions of the council, defaulting to throw his support behind Eda's position.
