Gaheris

Gaheris was the first Champion of Energy, a Lothian from Camlan who helped Haeos’s followers cross the sea and was crowned Skye’s first king after his death. His public legacy is accompanied by a family history of love, grief and neglect. The Thundersnow record credits his life with Glace, the half-Elven Champion of Ice, with softening his arrogance. His spells of snow and lightning preserve their happiness, though his son Gareth later destroys many of them in jealousy.

Glace’s death leaves Gaheris unable to give his new family the same affection. He remarries under pressure and concentrates on leadership. His soul still asks for Glace at Castle Gaheris and says he gave his children nothing. Haeos regrets failing to ease that sorrow, and Iona exploits the Avatar’s attachment by using Gaheris’s soul to force him to surrender his power.
