Gil is a gobber from the Cygnar region of the world. He grew up on the streets and learned that it is sometimes easier to get what you want from someone when they are dead. After finding or creating a crime scene he would often hide nearby and watch the militia investigate. He became fascinated that someone could learn so much from so little information. As he grew older he learned he could make a decent living using his smarts and perceptive eyes to help people figure things out.
