Backstory: The leader of the heroic guild known as IRON FORCE, Gerasim is the son of a Scottish swordswoman and an Ecuadorian sage. Destined to become a great hero, despite his Ecuadorian siblings (whom he has only met a couple of times) and father being sages, Gerasim would follow in his mother's footsteps and train in the ways of a knight. He attended a prestigious knight school within his homeland. After graduating from the academy, Gerasim was given a mystical broadsword called "Savior Blue," a special sword that can only be wielded by an individual with pure intentions and a genuine desire to vanquish evil. Over the years, he has been combating villainy throughout the European region, mainly in his homeland of Scotland. Gerasim would one day stumble upon a mystical cave during his adventures in England. There, he would miraculously free a powerful knight from ancient times, the Black Knight Mordred, who was imprisoned by the witch Morgana centuries before Gerasim was even born. 

Many years later, a tragic event known as The Five Years occurred. Gerasim, along with Mordred and other heroes, aided in the battle against the evil god Akodomal and his cohorts. Shortly afterward, Gerasim would start forming his own guild with Mordred by his side. Over time, Gerasim would recruit warriors like Jerome Evermore, a powerful brown-skinned sage named "Chocolate," and eventually younger warriors such as Tabatha and Meredith. Together they would form the IRON FORCE guild, combining their skills in order to combat various evils around Europe. While Gerasim doesn't have much going on in his personal life, he is nonetheless grateful for his guild and being another vessel of good in the endless battle against evil.

TRIVIA

1. Gerasim, like many previous FORBIDDEN characters (Cecelia, Liliana, Meredith, Bass), was an AI adopt from DeviantArt but was drawn by a professional artist for his official look.

2. Gerasim was originally Italian/Scottish when first mentioned in Meredith's Profile. However upon working on his backstory I changed him to Ecuadorian/Scottish.

3. Despite being a cisgender male character, Gerasim is heavily influenced by Queen's Blade in terms of battle damage. Unlike most FORBIDDEN characters (male or female), whenever Gerasim takes damage, his armor will shatter in compromising areas such as his genitals, buttocks, chest, and thighs. Much to his chagrin, his armor tends to break regardless of how sturdy it is.

4. Gerasim is fluent in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Portuguese.

5. In the future, when I make an alternate version of Gerasim, that version will be the one that followed in his father's footsteps to become a sage
