Be a Better Man
Unhappy with old life, going to take a better turn.

Relations

 * Lilianne Jelleryn: Giles originally accepted to be one of Lady Jelleryn's Thorns so he could take the opportunity to help others while using his acquired skills of sword and skulduggery. Finding fulfillment that compared to his father, Lilianne was a leader with good morals.  As he grew to love her, he discovered that he would like to be her partner, confidant, and greatest supporter.  Sometimes his need to protect her gets in his way, however. He vacillates between wanting to see Lily safely in an office running the show, and adventuring at his side.  Now that she is pregnant, he is much more protective.  Coming to accept that he is to be a father and getting to start a family of his own, he sees himself as taking a large role in the child-rearing considering all the endeavors that his intended has involved herself in.  He hopes to have a boy so he can teach him all of the things Giles knows.  He is amazed by Lily’s good heart, though he thinks she takes it too far in some cases.  He doesn’t assume those she shows mercy to deserve it, and it is a point of frustration to have to put down the same bad guy more than once.
 * Cres Lockhart: Cres has always been violent and quick to anger, who would rather a settle any situation with his fists. He loves his brother, but Cres' jealously of Giles has always been the rift that has divided them.  Out of everyone in his family, Cres is the one that he wish that he was closer with.
 * Cantus Lockhart: Giles has always found comfort in the quiet and bookish nature of Cantus. Thinking, that Cantus is too far to reserved for his own good.  Giles has always trying to get his youngest brother out of his shell.  While Cantus has been a lot more forgiving of Giles running away, Giles still feels immensely guilty about abandoning him.
 * Gallius Lockhart: Gallius always tried to instill Giles with the concept of risk and reward. Maximize the reward while minimizing the risk.  He was very mercantile and goal driven individual, that Giles felt treated him and his brothers more as tools rather than as sons.  Gallius spent the most time with Giles trying to groom his eldest son to take over his business.  Investing Giles in classes and tutoring in swordsmanship, etiquette, and courtly ways.  While there are a few good memories, Giles ultimately got tired of his father running his life for him, and stayed behind to Magnimar to flee his father's ambitions.
 * Cleonia Blaesus-Lockhart: Giles found Cloenia to be a selfish and uncaring mother. She cared more about status and wealth over her own children.  She would be the type of person that would care about how it would look amongst peers if her sons were caught stealing rather then the boys actually stealing in the first place.
 * Mikal Almonatti: An old friend of his father's, that Giles typically seeks out because of he has lots of useful information. Though, his instincts tell him that Mikal is likely not to be trusted.
 * Aidan Meridas: He would consider Aidan could be an outstanding friend if he could get over the fact that Aidan got to experience Lilianne before he did. Quick to remind to Aidan that Lilianne is now his alone.  Outside of that, he believes that Aidan is a good and honorable man that is likely more than he seems.
 * Rolf Hobbson: Giles doesn't really improve of Rolf, but agrees that the savage ex-pirate is a useful tool. While he largely understands what Lilianne is trying to instill in Rolf, he believes that her efforts are largely is a bridge too far, even for her talents.  He doesn't like the the fact that Lily is considering making Rolf their child's godfather, nor does he appreciate Rolf's blatant and constanst disrespect.
 * Varis Chandler: Giles struggles with how clueless Varis is, and that it is a shame that the man doesn't have his full facilities. He does find him a suitable comrade-in-arms, while believing that Lilianne is too possessive of her motherly tendencies towards the troubled young man.
 * Cevaro Desnaro: In a lot of ways the jury is still out for Cevaro Desnaro, as he is still getting to know the man. Though, feels that they share a kindred desire to be better peoeple.
 * Edgar: It is a deep regret for Giles that he didn't really get to know him better before he passed on.
 * Orefo DeVico: Giles always liked the affable Angelis, and has deep empathy towards his struggle between the Family, and his religious oaths.
