[edit] Biography
[edit] Early Life
Wizard Giller was the only wizard under Zedd to achieve the level of ability necessary to be among the Second Order, his fellows only having the ability to become wizards of the Third Order. Unlike Zedd, Giller had the calling not the gift; Zedd used his gift to increase the spark of the gift within Giller so that he'd be able to wield magic.
Giller was originally the wizard designated to protect the Mother Confessor, Kahlan Amnell. They travelled together often, and at one time he revealed his fear of the Sisters of the Light to her.
Whilst travelling with Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell as she gave confessions, Giller uncovered a plot with Kahlan that suggested that her half-sister Queen Cyrilla Amnell of Galea was the target of an intricate assassination plot. However, when the man Kahlan had confessed was questioned further, a spell surrounding him activated and killed him.
Later, Giller accompanied the Mother Confessor to warn the Queen of the impending attempt on her life. Drefan Tross had been named as the assassin, and when Kahlan confessed him Giller suspected he was surrounded by a spell preventing him from giving away information as well; a suspicion that proved correct.
At some point, being the highest ranking wizard at the Wizard's Keep, Giller created a stone hound in the hopes of driving away a woman who constantly pestered him.
[edit] Darken Rahl Crisis
Giller appeared to turn his back on the Midlands when he became the adviser wizard to Queen Milena of Tamarang. The Queen held one of the three Boxes of Orden and was trading it to Darken Rahl in exchange for an increase in her power. For a wizard to sell his services to a singular person is said to be very dishonorable. However Giller had honorable reasons for his apparent treachery.
Giller used his new found influence in Tamarang to get the box away from the city and away from the hands of Darken Rahl. He used the little girl, Rachel and was able to help her smuggle the box out of the palace.
When Darken Rahl came to Tamarang, he subdued Giller and attempted to torture the whereabouts of the box from him. Before Darken could get the information he needed from Giller, Giller took his own life by using a spell called Wizard's Life Fire. The spell was an attempt to at least hurt Darken Rahl, but it failed. Giller did save the knowledge of the location of the box however.
[edit] Personality and traits
Wizard Giller had big dark eyes, a bald head and a hooked nose. His long, white, pointed beard and the way that he stuck his hands in the opposite sleeves of his robes caused him to appear very wizard like. Giller's robes were typically long and silver.
