McGillis Fareed is a young Earth-born officer in Gjallarhorn's ranks who presents himself as polite and composed—charming, even—but carries an unsettling coldness that can throw people off until they know him better. He's analytical and reserved, especially compared to his friend Gaelio Bauduin, though he's capable of the occasional smirk or dry joke beneath the professional veneer.
The real story is messier. McGillis is driven by deep, simmering anger whose origins remain unclear, but it fuels an obsession with dismantling and reforming Gjallarhorn itself. He's not someone content to take things at face value or trust what he's told; he's relentless about digging into the truth, however he has to do it. He also shows genuine care for people close to him.
There's a tell that fans have noted: when he's working through something or thinking hard, he'll absent-mindedly pick at a strand of hair hanging in front of his face, twirling it in his right hand.
