Quiet and reserverd. Will often sit by a fire and stare at it for hours just smoking a pipe or reading or both.

In battle he is known to hold his ground, bashing his opponents fast with his shield staggering them and slashing into them with his sword.
Background:
A knight in the Order Knights of the Nine.
He was born just after the Great War in 4E 176 during the Markarth Incident, in a small farming town near Skingrad in the Cyrodiil province of West Weald, to parents that were moderately wealthy. As he grew up through childhood he learned that his parents were members of the Order of the Nine. His father was a knight, often on quests to find some relic or help in some battle somewhere. His mother a mage and alchemist in the Order.
When Geminus was 10 years old, his parents moved from the farming town to the Priory of Nine so that he could be trained as a knight. He spent many days and nights learning about the Order and life. Often times spending days as a squire to one knight or another.
In the following 10 years he learned a lot about heavy armor and fighting, specializing in the use of a one-handed weapons and shield blocking. He became so used to fighting in heavy armor (he still thinks the trainers made him wear armor made of lead and not steel), that now when he wears armor it's like clothing and barely hinders him in movement and speed.
Also during that time, the mages of the Order taught him the Restoration healing spells. The Knights all learned this so that they could heal themselves and their comrades in battle without having to leave the field. He also dabbled in the Destruction magics a little but was only able to master the basic flames spell. This became useful when traveling as he could use short bursts to light torchs and campfires instead of having to break out the flint and steel.
During his time in the Priory he was also schooled in many aspects of life, history, the divines and the other cultures of the world. He learned he liked reading as much as fighting and almost always has a book of some sort with him.
In 4E 188, just two years after getting to the Priory, his father and a squad of knights left for Bravil, another city in Cyrodiil that was a big skooma trafficing area, and was not heard of again. There were rumors that he was involved in a raid of The Night Mother's crypt when the Listener, Alisanne Dupre is killed. However, none of the knights that went to this battle returned and are presumed dead.
In 4E 201, at the age of 25, Geminus now a full Knight of the Order, moved to Skyrim after Ulfric had killed Torygg, the High King and Alduin appeared at Helgen. He bought a house near the castle and uses it as the local headquarters for Order.
KoN History: Founded in 3E 111 with the intent of finding the lost relics of the Divine Crusader, Pelinal Whitesnake, they built its headquarters, the Priory of the Nine, in the West Weald, an open countryside of southern Cyrodiil, well known for its vineyards and tomato farms. The city of Skingrad is located here. Many relics were found but in 3E 121, during the War of the Red Diamond, the order was split. Due to its increased reputation, many of the knights came from important families with stakes in the war. Many of the knights decided to leave with the relics they had found and used them during the war. Not all of the knights left to fight in the war, many of them went out on their own, questing to reclaim the remaining relics. In 3E 153, with the Order disolved and the War ended, the last remaining Knight had gone on a final quest nver to return.
Towards the end of the Oblivion Crisis in 3E 433, the Knights of the Nine were reformed by an unknown pilgrim who became the new Divine Crusader. With the help of other knights of the order, that had joined upon hearing of the quest to find all the relics again and to eliminate Umaril the Unfeathered, an Ayleid sorcerer and immortal, returning to Tamriel to seek vengeance upon mankind and the Eight Divines (now Nine) who had previously helped defeat him.
Upon Unmaril's defeat the Knights of the Nine completed the restoration of the Priory and began a new life of service.
<<<< this part I made up since there's nothing else from the DLC or in the Lore >>>
In 4E 175 after the White-Gold Concordat was signed, the Knights of the Nine changed thier doctrine to no longer worship Talos and started to worship Ysmir because Talos has also been referred to as Ysmir by the Nords. Ysmir is also listed in some texts as being a name given to Pelinal Whitestrake. There are occassional skirmishes with the Thalmor over this, because they say this is still a worship of Talos, but they can't prove it and haven't tried to force the issue.
In the last two hundred years the KoN have remained a neutral force in many of the events of Cyrodiil.
In 4E 201, the KoN hear of the attack Ulfirc and the appearance of Alduin the World-Eater and send one of the new recruits to Solitude as an agent of the Order and to monitor activies in Skyrim.
