Gilvox Thornspine

Gilvox Thornspine (formerly Stoneclaw) is a dragonborn ranger who is among the Scarberry Guild of Qualaoolloo. He is played by Kestin Howard.

Early Life
Born Gilvox Thornspine, he lived with his family in the forests of Wikiwiki Town and moved out due to his other practices. He is warned by his father to not utter the name "Thornspine" under any circumstances, prompting Gilvox to change his last name to "Stoneclaw".

He was formerly part of a military black ops group called the Black Wyverns. When he came upon Tutu Village, his superior officer ordered them to take down anyone who fought against high taxes (not only hurt, but dead). Gilvox snapped and he and the group got into a fight, ending with the superior officer receiving a nasty scar on his face. At that moment, he was declared dead after he went AWOL.

During his time in the military, he followed a cruel god named Chronepsis, a god of absolute justice and order. After he deserted them, Gilvox received a vision from Tamara, a dragon priestess of life, light, mercy, and forgiveness. Gilvox and his followers escaped and formed a secret village where he was appointed leader.

Appearance
He is a copper skinned dragonborn that stands at seven feet tall, horns protruding backwards and long lizard-like tail. He is mostly depicted to be dressed in leather/hide armor, dark silver armor cuffs, and tattered pants.

When visiting Akamai Town at Crouton's shop, he received a dark green cloak with a turtle-like pattern on the cloak.

At the party at Aina City, he was shown to be wearing a formal purple suit.

As a half-elf, he is wearing the leather headband around his head along with normal street clothes. He is depicted to have short hair, a beard along the jaw, have a toned body, and stands seven feet tall.

Personality
Gilvox comes off as jovial and down-to-earth, preferring to use humor to break the ice with unknown individuals. From his soldier background, he also is known to snap into a serious nature when confronted by trouble, no matter how powerful the foe may be. He especially exhibits this when he sense danger directed towards Xanprys or Feala, where a "big brother" mentality comes forward to protect them.

He is known to have a soft spot for animals, in which this is shown in episode 8 when he adopts Silphie, a fern lizard.

He is angered about certain aspects such as undead, since Tamara, the deity he had primarily followed, also despises undead. Another instance is when he sees that his squad is turned undead.

Chapter 1 (Episodes 1-21)
Gilvox is seen in the Private Investigator office of Wyrmwell in order to get a job as an acting mercenary. He soon meets Rozellyn, who is around the same height as him (which sparks his interest). He also meets Xanprys, who had been standing behind her the whole time. The group is given an assignment to find the albino shark bird (which takes on the appearance of a duck but has retracting shark teeth). It was last seen in Tutu Village, which is an area that Gilvox is familiar with. He promises 150 gold to each member of the party.

The group goes to the Sand Tower to buy potions from the potion maker. Gilvox learns that the potion maker is deaf and attempts to speak to the potion maker. Xanprys attempts to intimidate the potion maker by threatening to smash two potions if they didn't get a discount. The potion maker summons two sand giants, much to the surprise of Rozellyn and Gilvox. Gilvox diffuses the situation by apologizing to the potion maker. They later leave with a lesser healing potion. He later prompts Xanprys that next time they have an encounter to let him do the talking.

The three of them are on a ferry to Tutu Village when Gilvox meets three of his soldiers (unbeknownst to Rozellyn and Xanprys). He is keeping this on the down-low because he hasn't told the others of his unsavory past.

As the group arrives in Tutu Village, they do see a confrontation between the Tax Collector and a small wood elf girl, resulting in the Tax Collector threatening violence against her. After the confrontation ends, Gilvox, Rozellyn, and Xanprys go to comfort the girl, who reveals that her parents were taken to jail after found to be owing money and was threatened the same fate. Rufus, a human friend of the girl, arrives to help the girl, later recognizing GIlvox. Gilvox tells Rufus that the Tax Collector threatened violence against the girl and her little sister, later offering to hide the two of them away from the Tax Collector in his secret village.

Gilvox takes Rozellyn and Xanprys to the warehouse where they meet David, a half-elf monk who attempted to go hand-to-hand combat with them. David gives Gilvox a key to an unknown location. He later takes Rozellyn and Xanprys to behind a building to explain to them about why he was familiar with Tutu Village. He tells them he was part of black ops group that associated with taking down villages who tried to rise up against the government. He left after gaining a conscience, along with those who supported him. Rozellyn and Xanprys thank him for trusting them with this information, with the latter thanking the former for not considering him a madman.

Gilvox is awakened by a knock on the door and a familiar phrase that only he and his scouts would use: the seagulls have rested at nighttime. He opens the door and reveals a wood elf scout named Tuokool. Tuokool reveals that the POI (the 13 year old girl and her sister from Tutu Village) are at the secret village, much to Gilvox's relief. Tuokool informs him that there was a bustling of crates in the warehouse.

When they arrive at the warehouse, David lets them in and the group searches around. They find white paint, feathers, and crates filled with chickens. Gilvox quickly realizes that they are looking for the albino shark bird, sparking the possibility of someone disguising the albino shark bird.

Tuokool takes the group through the jungle and spot an abandoned house/warehouse. Tuokool and Gilvox sneak to the house, though Gilvox makes a slight mistake (due to Kestin rolling a natural 1). They overhear the Balleywater Pirate Captain and the Tax Collector making a deal: money in exchange for the albino shark bird. Gilvox and Tuokool report back to Rozellyn and Xanprys and the four of them head back to the Hankard Hammock.

During the episode, Gilvox, Rozellyn, Xanprys, and Tuokool all sneak around to get information on the Tax Collector's dealings. Eventually they lead into the Senator's home and warn the Senator about the dealings. The Senator agrees to bring the Tax Collector to justice, on the condition that there would be no fatalities. They leave, the Senator blessing Ohana on them and Gilvox blessing Tamara on the former. The group then runs into Professor Curiarty, an old professor of Akamai Town and an acquaintance of Xanprys. He allows the group to stay in his home during their time in Tutu Village.

As the group retreats to Curiarty's temporary home, the group learns about a secret island filled with totems supposedly where deities are created. They also learn about Soul Warriors, champions that channel divine energy from their deity/their faith to create weapons. Both topics interest Gilvox greatly to the point where he tried to hide info from Rozellyn and Xanprys but to no avail.

When it is time for the final day of the dealing, Gilvox gets his men together and gives them the order. The police force of Qualaoolloo and his men all make their way to the abandoned house. Everything goes well until Gilvox attempts to incapacitate a patrolman but shoots off the leg of the patrolman, who later alarms everyone. The Balleywater Pirates and the two allied parties then go to war with each other. Rozellyn, Gilvox, and Xanprys retreat to a ship where they encounter a dark elf, pulling a sword from their chest.

As the Soul Warrior attempts to kill the group, he is subdued by David. Then a steampunk golem appears in front them, igniting the first boss battle. The battle goes on until Rozellyn makes the final blow (the first HDYWTDT) and decapitates the golem. The group gets out of combat and meet up with the Senator and the Tax Collector, who thanks them for dealing with the Balleywater Pirates and recovering the albino shark bird. Gilvox is met up with Senator Hortmeyer, who later tells him to play along. He, along with Rozellyn and Xanprys, are later invited to attend the Senators' Party.

Gilvox, Rozellyn, and Xanprys return the albino shark bird to Wyrmwell, who asks Gilvox for physical evidence of the recovery. He shows Wyrmwell the key that David gave him. Wyrmwell begrudgingly hands the group 150 gp (50 for each person), plus a little extra thanks to Xanprys.

Later at night, a dream occurs as Gilvox is standing on an island platform. He sees a masked figure, cloaked in black. He makes several attempts to talk to the figure, who walks away from him at first but then stops. After Gilvox demands an answer to why he is here, he then stabbed through the chest by the mysterious figure before waking up from the dream. He discovers a chest wound with blood and a strange purple glow.

Gilvox wakes up in the morning and ask Xanprys if anyone entered the room the night before and if she stabbed him in her sleep. He reveals the chest wound to Rozellyn and Xanprys. Huffrey discovers the wound and cleans it up.

In an attempt to decipher Xanprys' dream, the three of them head off to the Blacksmith's Shop. Gilvox buys two short swords from Marin, the blacksmith and begins to admire her craft work. This in turn causes Gilvox to attempt to persuade Marin (by attempting to woo her) in order to allow Rozellyn and Xanprys to infiltrate the shop and find the trapdoor. Unfortunately, the two of them are caught. Gilvox diffuses the situation and comes clean while explaining to her Xanprys' dream. Marin reveals to them that there is a thieves' guild hiding out in the shop. Gilvox keeps this a secret and buys the swords off of her to save her the trouble.

Later on, Gilvox befriends a fern lizard, who he names Silphie.

The group heads off to the Hermit's Delight and talk to Yussie, the dwarven bartender. He explains that Gilvox's and Rozellyn's dreams are complicated, but Xanprys' dream could have a simpler meaning. Yussie then directs Gilvox to a gnome cleric named Dondwin who is sitting on the beach alone. Gilvox approaches him and explains to him his dream. Dondwin prompts Gilvox to strike him, which the latter reluctantly agrees to. But as he does so, he defends himself with a glowing sword and disarms Gilvox, revealing himself to be a Soul Warrior. Dondwin tells him to channel his faith to activate his inner soul warrior. He does so and for a slight minute, armor appears. Dondwin tells him that his faith is weak and it needs work. He offers to teach him to channel his faith. Gilvox thanks him and leaves.

The three of them head off to the Senators' Party in Aina City. He is later given a private invitation by Senator Croakheart to join him in the study, along with Rozellyn and Xanprys. They explain to him the situation of the Tax Collector and his crimes. Senator Croakheart comes up with a heist to invade the Tax Collector's office, which later shows that he knows about Gilvox's black ops background (much to the surprise of Gilvox) but has kept it secret. After their conversation with Croakheart, Gilvox and Xanprys dance together while Rozellyn, who is still getting used to tiptoeing, stands by and watches.

Gilvox, Xanprys, and Rozellyn all return to the library in order to prepare for the heist. Rozellyn answers the door and Croakheart's connection hands them a package, containing disguises for the group. Rozellyn and Gilvox would be paladins of Qualaoolloo while Xanprys would dress as a tax collecting officer. When they reach the Tax Collector's office, they meet Zusu, a wood elf monk who is disguised as one of the tax collecting officers. The group looks around and suddenly hear a voice in their heads. They soon see pages flying out of books and transform itself into a living spellbook.

Gilvox, Rozellyn, and Xanprys engage in a battle with the living spellbook, which later resulted in the death of Xanprys. Gilvox does get injured during the battle. He attempts to heal Xanprys during the battle, but goes against it knowing that the living spellbook would get an attack of opportunity on him. He gets a HDYWTDT on the living spellbook by carving it in half. Zusu, the wood elf monk they meet in the Tax Collector's office, tells them to go to the Sand Tower and talk to someone, who is revealed to be the potion maker, Mahir. He shows him the frog pin that Zusu gave him and Mahir clears a table for Xanprys to lie on. He tells the group that he is performing a ritual and signs to Rozellyn if they can do anything to help with the ritual. Rozellyn passes on the message to Gilvox. Gilvox replies that all they can do is pray. He grabs onto Xanprys' hands and prays to Tamara to bring Xanprys' soul back to the body. He receives a warm reassurance, but strangely not from Tamara. After Xanprys is revived, he is relieved to see her back. The group later finds out the the living spellbook was a trap meant for the Tax Collector, Gustuv Tremp.

After the battle with the living spellbook, Gilvox, Rozellyn, Xanprys, Humphrey, and Zusu are all having dinner together, recovering from the incident. Gilvox and Xanprys head off to rest, not before he asks her if she is okay (in the means of being mentally okay). He says that if she needed anything that he will be there for her.

During the social initiative, Gilvox pays a visit to Dondwin at the Hermit's Delight in order to train on channeling his faith. He explained to Dondwin the mission that ended with Xanprys dying and being revived again, but mainly praying to Tamara and having a different warming reassurance. Dondwin explains that Soul Warriors, though not always champions to their deities, channel their faith through them, but there is a possibility that there is something else that might call him. Gilvox remembers vaguely that he had lived out in the woods with his family (unsure if it was in Akamai Town or Malama Town) but moved out when he got into other practices.

During the training, Gilvox was able to conjure a soul bow, which he named Banshee because the idea of a bow shooting an arrow is done silently. Dondwin gives him homework: to continue practicing channeling his faith and finding the source of the call.

After training, Gilvox and Xanprys sneak out to spy on Rozellyn and Zusu on their date (upon Humphrey's request). All goes well until the end when Gilvox (Kestin doing poorly on a stealth roll) ends up on the roof of the Blacksmith's shop and creates a hole. Marin sees this and demands 10 gold from him to fix the roof. Gilvox gives Marin the gold, apologizes, and leaves.

As the group is eating breakfast, Gilvox discusses with Rozellyn and Xanprys about what to name the group. While they do, a knock is heard on the door and Humphrey answers the door to reveal Feala, a half-elf warlock, carrying a stack of books to Humphrey. When he introduces himself to her, she pokes him, seeing that she has never seen a dragonborn before. He welcomes Feala into the group as they head off to the monastery in Pali Town.

The group stops in Akamai Town to find any information on where Gilvox possibly came from and to do any shopping on the way. As he enters the university, he is surprised to meet another dragonborn, an old black dragonborn named Srognen. He asks him if there were any birth records he could look at. Srognen calls for Miles and directs Gilvox to him since he is temporarily working at the university. Miles reveals to Gilvox that the birth records are in the Church of Makamaka.

When Gilvox reunites with the group, they pay a visit to Professor Curiarty. He later reveals to the professor his Soul Warrior abilities as he summons Banshee and shoots the coat rack and the wall. This leads to the Professor poking and prodding him. Later, they meet a tailor named Crouton and purchase cloaks for themselves. Gilvox's cloak was designed to look like turtle scales (and adds +2 to his armor class). The group finally leaves and makes their over to Pali Town monastery.

As the group makes their journey to Pali Town, they stop at an inn to get some rest. After Feala, Xanprys, and Rozellyn return from the gift shop, everyone settles into their rooms. Later on, Feala confesses to Gilvox that she lied about the bouncing beets in her satchel, but it was an Egg of Wonder that she got from a magic shop. She also reveals to Gilvox that she is a champion to a demigod named Francis (pronounced Fran-CEESE). This in turn allows Gilvox to open up to Feala about his unsavory past as a former black ops. He tells her that she is getting used to a group where they keep secrets until they feel ready to reveal them.

The next day, the group finds that the egg is gone and instead, there is a dragon turtle sitting by. The dragon turtle soon talks and then changes into a man named Wayne. Wayne is revealed to be a shapeshifter from over 1500 years ago. He gets to know the group as they travel to the monastery, only to find it in ruin and zombie monks begin to emerge from the ground.

Everyone in the group engages in a battle between them and the zombie monks. Gilvox responds to the sight with a growl, knowing that Tamara, who is a priestess of healing and rebirth, does not like the undead. He gives out orders to his group as they engage in battle, in which they all emerge victorious (with a group HDYWTDT).

After the group enters the monastery, Gilvox notices two hunched over monks sitting at a table alone. He uses his seeing stone, the object that detects Soul Warriors, on the two, who then react to it. After Feala and Wayne return from the cave, shaken and frightened, Gilvox shows concern for the two and asks what happened. He soon learns that they saw two figures painfully pulling swords from their bodies and that a totem named Krayax was chasing them. He is shocked to learn that the two monks could possibly be Soul Warriors (weapons from the body are sure signs of a Soul Warrior). He begins to wonder if Krayax is being deceived.

After a long day, Gilvox goes into a meditative state and prays to Tamara, informing her of what has happened so far and asking for guidance. He later finds himself in a grassy field with a crater filled with water. He hears nothing at first except for a voice going, "She is not here, but I am. I am with you." The vision dissipates and around Gilvox's chest, he feels a bow wrapped around him. He makes the motion of taking a bow of his shoulders and white arcane energy form into the handle of Banshee. The voice warns him to be careful.

Gilvox motions to put the bow back around him and it disappears into his chest, absorbing into him. As he goes to sleep, he returns to the crater, only to find a skeleton with emerald green robes. The skeleton reveals to Gilvox that he is the Connector and he has heard of Gilvox. The Connector gives Gilvox a number of minutes to ask him questions. Gilvox asks what is causing the foul energy of the monastery. The Connector replies with interference of the divine and that the causes are not Soul Warriors. He tells Gilvox to stop them. Gilvox asks if his newfound power will be able to do that, which the Connector replies that only the former can answer that. The Connector assures him that "they" are on his side. Gilvox vows to fight with Banshee to the best of his ability as long as he is there with him. After knowing that he has one question left, Gilvox asks where he could learn to harness his power fully. The Connector reveals that he already has and he has met Dondwin. The skeleton then disappears and fades into the dirt.

As the group heads for the caves, Wayne casts a spell on Feala in order to allow her to see. She sees three figures and a sleeping Krayax. As the group tries to turn back, a familiar voice appears. Gilvox and Xanprys immediately recognize the voice of Gustuv Tremp, the Tax Collector, who is furious that the group has been interfering with his plans. As Gustuv tries to kill the group, Dondwin arrives to protect the group. As Dondwin motions the group to fight the three, Gilvox discovers that the undead that have risen from the ground are the Copper Dragon Squad, the three members that Gilvox and the group met in the second episode, with sickly yellow eyes. Gilvox is angered by this, prompting Dondwin to tell him to focus.

During the fight, Gilvox is captured by fear, an illusion that forces him to see the Copper Dragon Squad telling him that he betrayed them and left them. Feala notices this and she snaps him out of fear, ringing words of encouragement and reassurance into his ears. He shakes out of that fear and continues to fight them, as much as he does not want to.

Gilvox opens up to Dondwin about not focusing on the shooting the arrow properly from his Banshee bow because of the fear episode he had experienced. Dondwin, while impressed that Gilvox was able to channel the bow so quickly, advises to Gilvox to be careful. At the monastery, the conversation between Gilvox and Dondwin continues, learning that Dondwin is part of a Soul Warrior council and that the emblem belongs to a group known as the Cult of Remla.

At the Church of Makamaka, he asks the librarian to check for scrolls under the name "Stoneclaw". There is only one, which reveals that "Gilvox Stoneclaw" is dead. Much to that surprise (not really), Gilvox offers the other name "Thornspine". He collects a few of them as well as his own name. Xanprys listens in as he reveals that "Stoneclaw" is not his actual name, but it is "Thornspine". He didn't reveal this until he knew that he could trust the group.

He eventually does reveal this to the rest of the group that "Thornspine" is his birth name and that he went under the name "Stoneclaw" after his father had advised him to not use his real name under any circumstances. He earned the nickname as a child due to his growing claws and the tendency to scratch things. His father had commented that he had claws made of stone, hence the name "Stoneclaw".

While Rozellyn and Zusu experience their first time, Feala, Xanprys, and Gilvox go fishing in the planar wells and earn 225,000 gold pieces after selling the fish.

Chapter 2 (Episodes 22-present)
During this social initiative episode, Gilvox is escorted by Senator Croakheart to serve as a bodyguard for him while the senator attends the meeting discussing a project. Croakheart gives him a fake name, "Reggie M." Gilvox overhears one of the former advisors being assassinated by an unknown Soul Warrior. After the meeting, Croakheart and Gilvox meet up and discuss the events of the meeting.

After encountering an injured firbolg named Marshall, the latter invites the four of them to his place. They talk to him about the Connector. He offers for the four of them to see them, taking them to a realm that is similar in appearance to Tutu Village. The group meets the Connector, who tells Gilvox that he will be tested.

Gilvox meets a forgotten deity named Seismic and engages in a battle with him. After realizing that his physical weapons won't work against the deity, he conjures Banshee, which deals 8d20 damage (16d20 damage on a natural 20), defeating the god. After he returns, the Connector declares Gilvox as the Champion of Seismic.

After the battle, he is given a banana leaf by the Connector, who gives him an order to plant it in his village in order to conceal it better.

After the departure of Marshall, he is shocked to see his house barren and empty in just minutes.

While going in a meditative state, he encountered the same mysterious figure who had stabbed him in the chest. Gilvox thanks him for setting him on the path of the Soul Warrior, despite feeling the pain. The mysterious figure attempts to read Gilvox's mind but fails. As they go for a slash at Gilvox, the figure is attacked by Tuokool, shaking Gilvox's out of the meditative state. Gilvox is led to believe that Tuokool could possibly in danger.

The group head off to the secret village to plant the banana leaf and check on Tuokool, only to encounter Tuokool and Solace clashing with each other for Solace wanting to enter and assassinate the high council, but Gilvox (thanks to Kestin rolling a natural 20) stop Solace. They finally enter the village of Leafwood, a village that has buildings constructed in the trees for those who are either soldiers or single patrons and buildings on the lower ground for families. They enter the mess hall where they discover the young wood elf girl from Tutu Village. She runs over and gives Gilvox a hug, telling him that her family has moved here. Gilvox is thrilled to hear of this and welcomes her to Leafwood. She reveals that someone broke her parents out of the Qualaoolloo jail. After telling them the description of the bailer, the group already figured out who it was. Gilvox and the group head off to find Marshall, not before asking the wood elf girl of her name. She reveals it to be Kairi.

The group heads off to find Marshall in a new body: a very dark skinned elf. They talk about many things, one of which is a revelation of Marshall being Crouton's marriage partner and father figure to Feala. Marshall brings up the topic of using the banana leaf to hide the village from any intruders. Gilvox inquires a list of people he does not want knowing about the village: Solace, members of the government (with the exception of Senator Hortmeyer and Senator Croakheart), the cult of Remla, and anyone in the higher military.

After successfully creating the banana leaf barrier to hide the village, the group discovers a medallion that Xanprys found during her hunt. Gilvox and Rozellyn are nearly affected by it, but they shake it off. This is revealed to be a hypnosis medallion.

The group goes on a recon mission to track down the paladins of Qualaoolloo, for they are seeking out the totem, Manzanito. Tuokool and three other members join the Scarberry Guild. During the mission, the group suffers one casualty after a trap triggers, but they eventually find the paladins. Feala, Xanprys and Tuokool disguise themselves as the paladins to try and fool the senator while Gilvox and Rozellyn attempt to protect the totem. They successfully do, not before a black cloaked figure encounters the group, seeing through their deceit. They reveal themselves to be the Fist, the same figure that killed the Tax Collector back in the monastery.

The Fist makes a threat on the Scarberry Guild that if they interfered with the plans of Remla, they would not hesitate to hurt their loved ones. The Fist makes a comment to Gilvox about keeping friends close and enemies closer while also calling him a coward and cruelly reminding him of the things that he had done during his time in the military. This gets Gilvox to think that the Fist could possibly be someone he knows. The group turns to the black skull of Manzanito and examines it. Gilvox goes to touch the skull and he is put into an out-of-body experience.

During the out-of-body experience, he sees a white figure come towards him while also controlling his own body. However, Rozellyn, Feala, Xanprys, and Tuokool release his grip on Manzanito, saving him from the clutches of death. He then sees visions of his time that he, Walkit, and three members of his black ops group escape from their failed mission. One member is brutally killed by an ent. The remaining four members escape on the ship, but one of the members betrays the group, killing a member and slashing Walkit's eye. As Gilvox is stabbed, he is taken back to the same area and sees Dondwin, only to discover that it was Manzanito manifesting a figure. Manzanito tells Gilvox that he is lucky to have remained alive in his plane, due to the nature potentially killing someone. As Gilvox tells Manzanito about the memories flooding back, he slowly comes to back to consciousness and back to reality. He is drained from the experience and is taken back to Leafwood, spending the night in the infirmary. The group then decides to head to the military camp in Ekomomai the following day.

The next morning, Gilvox is treated by an unknown doctor, until it was revealed to be Professor Curiarty, who is aware of Xanprys' celestial heritage. As the group begins to leave, Marshall gives Gilvox a disguise to enter the military camp. They are met with Senator Croakheart, who takes them to a secret area near Ekomomai and into a pocket dimension. A while later, the Scarberry Guild is encountered by three warforged, sent to target the group. Gilvox (due to a failed charisma save), after experiencing troubling memories of the night he and Walkit went AWOL, is frightened by the warforged and is forced to back away from them, while also trying to help as much as he can. Thanks to Xanprys and Feala's fire attacks, the warforged are taken down.

The group make their way to the military camp. Gilvox tells the group about how the military of Qualaoolloo worked when it came to recruiting. He then disguises himself as a half-elf male under the name Tormund Gillibrand.

Wildtrace
While Gilvox does not make a physical appearance in Wildtrace, some of his work in Qualaoolloo after the defeat of the Cult of Remla is mentioned. For example, he founded a monastery called Stoneclaw Monastery to train soul warriors. It is most likely that Gilvox himself is deceased given his dragonborn lifespan, but it is unknown.

Rozellyn
When Gilvox for the very first time, he was impressed due to her being the same level of height as him (even though Rozellyn is a foot taller than he is). Rozellyn was surprised to see a dragonborn in Qualaoolloo after having read about them due to them being an uncommon race. He is shown to help her on a number of occasions such as helping her tiptoe and sneak past enemies. In episode 6, he shows concern for Rozellyn when she is brutally beaten by the steampunk golem. When Rozellyn slays the golem, Gilvox is impressed by her.

Xanprys
Gilvox and Xanprys have a brotherly/sisterly relationship, but there has been a number of times where he has to diffuse a situation that Xanprys is involved in. In episode 1, Gilvox attempts to diffuse the situation between Mahir, the potion maker of Sand Tower, and Xanprys after threatening to smash his potions. After the confrontation ends, Gilvox tells her that the next time they have a situation like this that he should do the talking. In episode 8, he stops Marin from kicking Xanprys and Rozellyn out of the shop and explains their actions. In episode 10, he butts in on the conversation between Xanprys and Senator Croakheart after she gets too close to a triton.

Despite her chaotic good tendencies, he knows that Xanprys means well, even to the point where he is willing to protect her. After her death in episode 12, Gilvox was shaken and devastated to the point where he avenges her by killing the living spellbook. At the Sand Tower, he pleads to Tamara to bring her back from the dead, in which it succeeds.

In episode 13, he and Xanprys have a talk about what happened at the battle. He asks if she is okay mentally and tells her that she can come to him if she needed anything. He gives her a hug and rustles her hair. Later they spy on Rozellyn while on her date with Zusu for their amusement, although they are nearly caught.

In episode 23, he is shocked to hear that Xanprys is actually a demigod.

Tamara
After abandoning the Black Wyverns and Chronepsis, Tamara sent him a vision to guide him down the right path. Since then, Gilvox has been very faithful to Tamara. In episode 12, he desperately prayed to Tamara to revive Xanprys after she is killed in battle. He received a warm assurance, but not from her. In episode 23, it is revealed by the Connector that Tamara oversaw him while Seismic took interest in him.

Feala
He first meets Feala in the library before the group heads off to Pali Town. She pokes and prods him, surprised to see a dragonborn.

In the inn, Feala confesses to Gilvox that she lied about the bouncing beets and that she is a champion of a demigod. Gilvox opens up to her about his unsavory past and assures her that she is still getting used to a group that is still getting to know each other.

During episode 18, Feala does show concern for Gilvox as he is captured by fear and she snaps him out of it. This was what ultimately sealed Gilvox's trust in her, along with looking back to him to make sure it was OK to attack Gilvox's former allies.

Seismic
Gilvox has never heard of this forgotten deity prior to coming to the Connector's realm until he is tested to become a champion. He succeeds after learning that his soul bow is the only weapon that can defeat the deity. (His first and last attacks were natural 20s, but the damage dealt was due to the weapon being in a different plane).

Dondwin
Gilvox and Dondwin have a student-teacher relationship as the latter is teaching the former how to manifest his Soul Warrior abilities. Over time, the two of them have grown as close friends.

Walkit Lillibet
Gilvox and Walkit were part of the same black ops team during their time in the military and have remained best friends since the day they went AWOL and founded Leafwood. They have an established relationship in which Walkit is the protective sister trying to prevent Gilvox from getting himself killed. She will tease him every now and then for being a "flirt."

 * Gilvox himself is not mentioned in Wildtrace, so it is presumed that he may be deceased. This could be due to his dragonborn lifespan.
