Gildaren grew up on an apiary on the north side of Artshall, the third of seven children. His mother and father were struggling beekepers producing honey for one of the largest meaderies in all of Arvum. His childhood was shaped by long days of hard work harvesting honey, tending to the hives, and enjoying the occasional sticks of honey. His mother died during the birth of his 6th sibling, and much of his formative years were shaped by the influences of his father. Beekeeping in Artshall was cutthroat and rife with favoritism and politics, and Gildaren's father never held much favor with the heads of the meadery, perhaps because he refused to pay the bribes they demanded. As a teenager spending time at the Haven of the Honey Bee, Gildaren found the Faith that would lead him on his life's path.

Gildaren is a man of slim build and moderate stature. His hair is dark and skin a ruddy tan, suggesting a life outdoors and a recent tinge from the sun. From toe to top his features are nondescript, with the sole exception being crystal blue eyes that throw a piercing gaze from beneath dark eyebrows.

Gildaren is friendly and often talkative, but frequently taking long moments of contemplative thought. A life of travels has offered him wisdom, which he's prone to saying is a burden to bear, but an honor to offer to others. His empathy and characteristic patience are broken only for those who he deems deliberately sinister or purposely foolish.
