Gerard is a man with a strong and intimidating presence. He is extremely proper and will not tolerate being disobeyed. He is extremely disciplined in all he does and has high standards and expectations. He was not directly involved in the raising of their daughters, being there when needed -- as was the norm. Though he does love them, he was desperate for a son. His long standing rivalry with his brother making him require one; a rivalry that had existed since the moment his younger brother was born, a mere year after him.
[break][break]
When he learned of his courtesan having expected a child, he wanted nothing to do with him. He paid her for her silence and warned her to leave. That he never wished to see her again -- and he never did. It was not until recently that Gerard's desperation caused him to retract his disowning the bastard son, and he practically kidnapped Bellamy. Locking him in his room for nearly a year to play the part and groom him to be a future duke. Gerard will do anything to protect his family name, and go through any means necessary to ensure the safety and security of the Talbot empire. HIs extreme lengths also bring into question the convenient death of Bellamy's biological mother . . . and whether or not Gerard was responsible for killing her.[break][break]
He is perceived in society as a gentleman, sociable and popular for his high rank. He looks down on others of lower class and socializes only with those of nobility or higher. He has the same expectations for his daughters, not expecting them to marry below rank.
