Giles was the head librarian at the Gervaisius Estate, with his assistant, Ashton.
Story[]
Giles had seen the way that Ashton treated his wife, Lorna. Because of his abusive ways, Lorna and Giles became attracted to each other, and become more or less infatuated with each other.[1][2]
Giles heard that Lord Holanthrus was needing a new librarian for his vast collection of books. He told Lorna about, and his plan to leave the library in the hands of Ashton, and run off with his wife, so that his promotion would be his consolation for losing his wife.[3]
Ashton heard about the affair (probably when Ashton found the letter under Lorna's pillow),[4] and murdered his wife and Giles, and hid their bodies in a secret compartment in the library. Ashton left Lord Gervasius, saying that Lorna and Giles ran off together, and the library, 'Held too many painful memories', then took the job with Lord Holanthrus.[5]
Sgt. Porter investigated the disappearance of Giles, but concluded he had in fact run away. He did note the necessity of finding replacements soon, and the fact that people had been reporting hauntings there. He admitted that the place did make him feel uncomfortable.[6]
In Game[]
The hidden remains of Lorna and Giles.
His spirit did not find rest like Lorna. But unlike Lorna, he became vengeful, attacking those who entered the library at night.
Notes[]
- Philemon Abernathy replaced Giles as head librarian.
- It was probably him who made the 'M' stacks disappear.
