Glada, the weathered spokesperson of the Apostates, exudes an air of resilience and wisdom that is etched into her rugged appearance. At 68 years old, her face bears the lines of a life well-lived, and her weather-worn features reflect the trials she has endured. Clad in blue shawls that drape around her, she carries a sense of authority and purpose.
Once a revered village elder, Glada's path took a divergent turn when the
Daskari authorities cracked down on her community's devotion to one of the Lesser Divinities. Despite the repression, Glada's unwavering faith in her beliefs and the pursuit of spiritual freedom led her to join
The Exiles. Her experience as a leader within her village has endowed her with invaluable wisdom and guidance.
Glada possesses a cautious demeanor, borne from a desire to prevent unnecessary conflicts and safeguard the well-being of her fellow Apostates. She weighs decisions carefully, understanding the consequences they may bring. Suspicion towards authorities is deeply ingrained in her, a result of the oppression she and her community faced. Her skepticism serves as a shield, protecting her people from potential harm.
As a grandmother figure, Glada brings a nurturing and protective spirit to the Apostates. She holds a deep affection for her family, particularly for her grandson,
Shaakir Al-Rabbani. Her love for them fuels her determination to create a better future, where they can live free from persecution and flourish in their own beliefs.
Glada's presence within the Exiles is invaluable, as her wisdom and caution help guide the group through the treacherous landscape of
The Wild Coast. Despite her wariness, she remains steadfast in her devotion to the cause of finding a new home, where her people can practice their faith without fear.
With her weathered exterior and her eyes brimming with the weight of her experiences, Glada stands as a symbol of resilience, determination, and unwavering faith. She carries the hopes and aspirations of the Apostates on her shoulders, providing a voice of reason, compassion, and protection within the Exiles' journey towards a place where they can reclaim their spiritual freedom.
