REAL NAME: ARIC OF DACIA
ALIASES: X-O Manowar.
ABILITIES: Skilled warrior, he draws from memory to use techniques from long ago.
KNOWN ASSOCIATIONS: Geomancers (currently, Kay McHenry, Tama), Ivar and Armstrong, G.A.T.E. (Jamie Capshaw).
Born in the ancient city-state of Ur, as the third child of the Anni-Padda clan, he was named Gilad. He was always a skilled warrior, but his strongest point was being angry. This fire was what drove the first Geomancer, Anni, to chose him to protect the Speakers for the Earth.
He went with his brothers to the Faraway searching for the Boon. He voluntered as distraction while Ivar shot down a forest of stalactites over the creatures giving them chase. Gilad died too.
Ivar tried to use the Boon to bring Gilad back to life. But he didn't know that the Earth will not let the Eternal Warrior die until there's no more need for him.
Gilad's been part of the superteam called Unity in many of its iterations. He even fought against Vexana back in the age of Genghis Khan.
He hasn't always been able to protect the Geomancers. Most recently, he grieved the loss of Kay McHenry. Shortly after her death, a Geomancer he sent from the future appeared in front of him and the rest of Unity, a young girl called Tama.
He has been taking care of Tama ever since, hoping this time it will be different.
He and his brothers get along, even if Gilad's main focus is always in his mission as protector of the Geomancer. He has a friendly relationship with Ninjak.
OTHER DETAILS: he always carries his ax.
