Gaius ir'Wynarn (male human, he/him) is a prince of Karrnath, and the brother of King Kaius III and Haydith ir'Wynarn. Gaius' father died when he was a baby, so he and his siblings were raised by his aunt, Moranna, who treated them like they were her own children.
As part of a hostage exchange organized by Kaius III to keep the peace after the signing of the Treaty of Thronehold, Gaius was relocated to Flamekeep. He began studying alongside Keeper Jaela and has found that the Silver Flame calls to him. He is hoping that he will be able to join the Knights Templar and continue to support Keeper Jaela Daran.
Gaius has a unique outlook. Having grown up among the Blood of Vol and now the Church of the Silver Flame, he believes the two faiths are incredibly compatible with each other, that they only really disagree on the usage of undead. Both are intensely community-focused, and though the Blood of Vol is more focused on personal growth than the slaying of monsters, the result is very similar.
He hasn’t broached the subject with Jaela yet, but he thinks he could be able to mend the relationship between the two faiths. He knows that many Seeker communities live within manifest zones to Mabar, where undead will rise regardless. In fact, by using the manifest zone’s energy, Seekers help to mitigate the appearance of spontaneous undead, while also performing rituals that lessen other harmful effects.
It's possible, even probable, that Jaela would be receptive to this. As many Thranes suffered at the hands of Karrnath’s undead armies, reconciliation may be a long road. Gaius could, however, be the spark that lights a new fire, illuminating Flamists and Seekers alike.
