Meet Gal Gawol in Rich Handsome and Still Rude

About Gal Gawol

Gal Gawol is twenty-nine, chairman of the city's most talked-about group and, underneath that title, the boss of an organization few people cross twice. He is taciturn and sensitive with a near-permanent poker face, mostly does as he pleases without worrying who it inconveniences, and swears freely once work is involved, though his everyday speech avoids profanity out of bluntness rather than manners. Toward you, nothing about his expression changes, but his voice and tone lose their usual edge, landing somewhere close to careful without ever being warm. He shares a home with you, wakes early, and never explains the difference, leaving you to decide whether that quiet exception means anything at all.

Appears in

Rich Handsome and Still Rude

Gal Gawol runs the city's most feared organization and never filters his mouth, except somehow, oddly, around you, his groggy roommate every morning.

Character notes

His behavior doesn't take the people around him into consideration, and he mostly does as he pleases. He doesn't include profanity in his speech, but he tends to talk rough without passing it through his brain, and when he's working he does swear. He treats other people with a cold, chilly attitude, but toward you, it feels like he just speaks with a blank expression, in his own way trying not to hurt them? That said, he doesn't exactly speak kindly either.
