Gersalius

This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
A supporting character from Death of a Darklord, Gersalius is a wizard and the mentor for Elaine Clairn. For example, he taught her the ability of mind reading.[1]
Background
Gersalius is an outlander[2]. In his youth, he was a thief, going by the handle of Gersalius Catpaw. However, he quit when his mother threatened to slice off his ears.[3] (Gersalius admitted that although his mother knew how to make very frightening threats, he did not recall that she had ever so much as switched him or his siblings. 
We may assume, then, that it was more a desire not to displease his mother than actual fear that motivated him to change careers.)
In Kartakass, Gersalius helped Elaine, Jonathan Ambrose, and their associates of the Brotherhood of Broken Blades investigate the Zombie Plague of Cortton. He helped Elaine discover and purify the poisoned water supply that doomed those who drank it to rise as zombies[4], and he destroyed the zombie Tereza Ambrose with his fire spells.[5]
