Gerardus Lewlin is a Mouse in Ghost of a Tale. He was Tilo's master and the author of The Minstrel's Flight.
History[]
At some point, Gerardus' master crafted his lute from driftwood at Lake Vaelia; eventually, it was passed down to Gerardus himself. He took on Tilo as an apprentice, helping him to make his own Minstrel Hood.
While the two wandered as minstrels, he became extremely ill with a fever, and Tilo took him to the small village of Hamel, where the Mice there helped him to recover. When Tilo fell in love with Merra there, Gerardus disappeared, leaving behind his lute for Tilo to have and begin his own life. Given the number of years that have passed, Tilo believes that Lewlin has probably died, but this is not known for sure.
