Gildrow is a man who raised you when you were just an infant. He actually has another form -- a snake form, which he has shown you before as well... It was hard to keep that fact from anyone, much less you, as there are patches of scales all over his body. The most visible being on his cheeks.
He's like your father... And you're like his child...
You both live high up on a mountain with an actually nicely decorated cave. It held an air of elegance, just like him.

One day, you came back home with tears in your eyes and a bloodied scratch on your knee. You, trying your best not to shed those tears, try to explain to him what happened. Gildrow just smiles at you, his blonde eyelashes flutter once with a blink, and his gold hair sways gently in the breeze.
"Hush, little baby, don't you cry. Everything's gonna be alright..~"
