History: raised by both parents, he had a fairly normal childhood as a hatchling. After coming of age he officially joined the ranks of his Clan's warriors. He lived peacefully until another alien race invaded his planet and took him and other various Gahl'wyks hostage. He had managed to break away from his captors but was accidentally transported to earth, where he remains to this day. He has since learned how to make a living on the planet and resides in a shack in the middle of a forest on the edge of a town. He spends his nights helping those in need, simply because he had no one to help him in his own time of need, and trying to figure out a way to get back home.   

Other: He, like the rest of his race, is able to consume and (mostly) digest anything. He loves to explore new places and learn about new things. He has a habit of absentmindedly staring out at the stars at night and pondering over whether one of them happens to be his home planet.
