Personality
Galen is an immensely intelligent macaque who commands respect and loyalty from all those that encounter him. He is generally regarded as being extremely honorable and a firmly moral character at heart, being defined as an individual of principle, being patient, cautious, intelligent, noble and possessing an immense sense of duty. It's this unique mix of rare qualities that inspires others to follow. He always reacts to situations calmly and reasonably, combining intellect and ability, confidence and humility, strength and compassion.

He is a skilled and fierce warrior but certainly prefers to pursue a diplomatic and peaceful solutions to situations whenever at all possible. Galen views situations and individuals based on the scope of their moral compass, and judges almost everything on that perspective. In spite of that, he is not narrow-minded and dos not appear to be particularly prejudiced, arrogant or self-serving.

In many ways, Galen is much like his handler, in that his sense that he has developed a strong moral code and principle, and he is a charismatic leader to those who served him. He still possesses compassion and sympathy for humans, having been raised by the MacDonald family who showered him with nothing but love and kindness.

Unfortunately Galen's honorable and dutiful personality has manifested a weakness of judging people impractically by the evidence he sees with his own eyes, as opposed to the bigger picture. He has a bad habit of trusting people and is also quick to forgive even if he has been deceived or disrespected.

Physical Appearance
Galen stands a few inches taller than an unaltered chimp at a height of 5’6” tall. His yellow eyes are guided by a stark intellect and his body sports a tone, athletic frame due to the active nature of his upbringing and rigorous lifestyle.

Attire
Thade’s generally abstains of shirts and similar garments, preferring to leave his chest exposed and rely on his cape for warmth. As such his attire generally consist of a pair of uniform leggings assigned to him while within the Tracker program.

Galen’s attire consist of an ornate violet robe belted with a black sash, paired with a set of white silk pants. His primary weapons of choice are a set of twin tiger hook swords which he carries on his person at nearly all times, typically affixed to his back when not in use.

Power
Galen has the telepathic ability to absorb and mimic the knowledge and skills from the minds of the people in close proximity to him. This ability is completely involuntary, and absorbs only studied knowledge, not thoughts, short-term information, or awareness. A side effect of his powers are self-imposed mental blocks, which prevents him from retaining the knowledge he absorbs, forgetting whatever he has learned after a short period of time.
