A Yaoguai from the remote island of Clarion, though he would never divulge that directly. He seeks to avoid something called "The Flourish": an airtight fate that none from Clarion selected prior have managed to elude during known history. Frantic fleeing lands him straight at the expeditionary camp, and what better way to get further from home than to go into an entirely different dimension? The Castle sounds like a sanctuary when pushed so far.
Whether he likes it or not, however, there are consequences for those that fail to answer the clarion's call.

Bonds
Solsort: An associate that Gweir works alongside both as an Expeditionary member and within less virtuous contexts. They have something of a reputation as "Rabblerousers" and "Mudrakers" in Lacrima.
Amara: A cleric of Pian that Gweir is physically involved with. She's been actively helping him try to find a way to avoid The Flourish, and they possess mutual respect as scholars.
Lacrima: Where he first met Solsort and the primary location of their schemes. When not "on the clock," Gweir can be found doing personal research within the city.
