The renowned sage, Gaston Camlann, has been one of the longest running characters in my series. \u00a0He’s mentioned in The Bindings of Fate<\/em>, and I used his name in a few “about Tellest” articles because I needed an in-universe scholar to talk about various things, like the world, the Strain, and so forth.<\/p>\n When we first brought him into the limelight, in Mageborn, he became one of our favorite characters. \u00a0He speaks to the world almost as if he’s outside of it. \u00a0In a lot of ways, I feel as though he’s an extension of me. \u00a0Gaston has all the right qualities you’d want in a person, but he’s still somewhat flawed. \u00a0Think of him as your grandfather all those times you made him mad. \u00a0He doesn’t want to get angry, but sometimes you see it!<\/p>\n In any case, we had a few instances of Gaston already on display thanks to our “generic” short story panel that you see from time to time. \u00a0But when we asked Hozure to give us a version of Gaston that belonged entirely to him, he didn’t disappoint us.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We had a lot of interesting poses presented to us, each with their own sense of whimsy. \u00a0But one of them stood out more than the others, because it also had more of a sense of Gaston than the others.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Here, you can see Gaston with one of his favorite things: his books. As much a scholar as a sage, Gaston’s love of knowledge and wisdom is a base thing for him. \u00a0It’s what makes\u00a0him<\/em> tick. \u00a0It felt like it would have been a lost opportunity not to feature him moving those old words around like that!<\/p>\n
