Revered Mother Gertrude

"Do not forget that the Templars still answer to the Chantry and the Divine, ser.”

-Mother Gertrude to Knight Commander Shawcross, 9:66 Dragon

Physical Appearance
Mother Gertrude is a woman in her early 50's with graying black hair and deeply tanned skin. She has a stout build but carries herself with the dignity that she scraped together while she was climbing the ranks of the Anderfels Chantry.

Personality
Gertrude is haughty and self-assured. She always demands the respect she feels she's due after a life of intense piety and equally intense scheming.

History
Gertrude was born in the Anderfels and became a lay sister at age 16. She has spent her life in service to the Chantry. She attained the position of Revered Mother in Hossberg several years ago, making her one of the most influential people in the country.

In-game
Gisele and Tiberius met with Gertrude in the Chantry in order to obtain aid against the Blight. She promised access to Chantry documents if they could procure proof of Shawcross' abuses in the Circle of Magi. Tiberius, Gisele, Andryanna, and Gwyn were able to provide said evidence.

Relationships
Knight Commander Shawcross- Gertrude's enemy. He impedes her at every turn while she tries to maintain control of the religious elements of Hossberg.
