Gylas is not part of the Wanderers, but he is fiercely loyal to them. He is a Losvari elf, who found himself back in the lands of Atheles at the young age of eight. He was captured by the Red Guard and was long interrogated and imprisoned. When he was found to have no useful information, he was sent to the iron mines. There he showed an aptitude for chemistry, helping formulate and build black rock explosives that allowed the mines to dig deeper than ever. When the Red Guard was destroyed in 5706, he escaped and found his way to the Elmhearth. Helfen welcomed him to the community. His alchemical creations helped the village mine stone more quickly, and he built the Cauldron. It serves as both a shop for any villagers in need, but also as the source for any alchemical needs the Wanderers need.
