Personality and character

Moulder is a wise, righteous priest. He is always willing to help others in many situations. For example, he coaches Colm on self-righteousness and reflection on one's actions[2]. As a priest, he has come in contact with many people, and he can determine what sort of person someone is very well[3]. He cares a lot about those around him and acts as a sort of father. However, he takes his duty so seriously that he even forgets about his own birthday[4].

Little is known about Moulder's life. He says that Vanessa reminds him of himself twenty years ago. Also, he was present at King Hayden's coronation ceremony, carrying the king's crown[5]. He was quite nervous when someone shouted, "Get ahold of yourself, man!" This caused Moulder to almost drop the crown[6]. The next day, he and Gilliam met and became close friends[7], and have been for a "decade and a half"[8]. This places the beginning of Gilliam's service at fifteen years before the start of the game, in year 788, with the game starting in the year 803.

Moulder

Usually a last name, one of many surnames named after trades, such as "Smith" or "Baker". "Moulder" is not a word used today, however; a "moulder" was a skilled mason. It is also spelled "Mulder" or "Molder". It can also be a verb meaning "to rot and decompose"; this is probably not an intended meaning of the character.
