== History ==
=== Kholinar Steward ===
Nothing is known of Gereh's early life, or his planet of birth, but he worked long enough as steward in the [[Kholinar Palace]] to be known as a fixture there,{{book ref|sa4|prologue}} becoming a notable, if minor functionary.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}} While Gereh's apparent profession was steward, he also served as an agent for an unknown master,{{book ref|sa4|77}} watching over [[House Kholin]].{{wob ref|14529}} It is likely that in the year 1167, Gereh became aware of [[Axindweth]], a [[
Shortly thereafter, on the night of the treaty signing celebration with the [[listeners]], Gereh approached Queen [[Navani Kholin]] in the palace gardens prior to feast to inform her that Brightlord [[Rine Hatham]] was expecting an audience with Gavilar to discuss border disputes and the king was nowhere to be found.{{book ref|sa4|prologue}} He then led Navani to Hatham. Later that night, Navani found a grief-stricken Gereh and after she took his hand he informed her of Gavilar's assassination, although she did not immediately believe he was telling the truth. Gereh seemed deeply distraught by Gavilar's death, crying and shaking in sorrow.{{book ref|sa4|prologue}}
=== Retirement and Death ===
By 1175 Gereh seemed to have retired from active duty in the palace.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}} He came to live in [[Urithiru]] with many of the other displaced Alethi and lived a quiet life where he was visited occasionally by [[Lift]], who enjoyed looking in on the elderly. Just prior to the occupation of Urithiru by the [[Fused]], Gereh's Aviar was away from Gereh for unknown reasons. He was attacked by [[Mraize]] in his rooms and was killed by a knife wound to the chest. He was either attacked while he was without his [[metalmind]]s, or they were stripped from his body by Mraize after his death. The modifications that Gereh had made to the appearance of his eyes also vanished after his death. Gereh's Aviar had been waylaid by [[Mraize's Aviar]], but it managed to return to Gereh's rooms with Lift's help to find the man's body and mourn over it. Mraize, who had been waiting, pursued Lift out of Gereh's rooms and caught her.
