Listen to the demo songs:
Rev. Dr. Cole Gaylord
The Rev. Dr. Gaylord's confident air of righteous superiority draws scorn from those who find him contemptible. Yet his followers are quick to attest to his winning charm and sincere care for his patients and the holy medical world in which he's a meteoric star. Few know of his childhood, which leaves him starved for love as he had no father and the unspeakable divide between he and his mother that poisons the young Cole Gaylord. With a razor sharp intellect with a passion for self proclamation, Gaylord learns early on that his shining rise to fame will be a banishing snub to his mother's rejection.
In the miracle-laden high-tech world of future sanctimonious medicine, in which he is highly sought out, Cole relishes his fame. He forever holds close to his heart acrimony for the place of his birth, Suntown, where his malevolent disdain for simple goodness sears his self-esteem while fueling the burning ambition for which he is famous.
_______________________________________________
Cole Gaylord is a Reverent Doctor, and is of thirty-five years of age.
Gaylord is stately looking with pale skin yet is robust and fit. He wears wire rimmed glasses, is starting to bald but still has a full head of hair, has a domineering face with a well proportioned yet somewhat pronounced nose. He has keenly piercing eyes and has perfect straight teeth. He is a prime example of lean fitness. He is happy and confident with his looks, but his balding is starting to bother him.
When Gaylord was growing up, his family never had the notion that he would NOT someday be at the height of the calling of a healer through holy medical science. He had the best education money could buy, was fostered in the best boarding schools, and led a well to do life along the straight and narrow. He was always highly pressured to succeed, and secretly the young Cole would pray that those expectations were off his back, along with them that he was obliging. He has a lone sibling, a brother, whom Gaylord had never warmed up to. He never keeps up with him as an adult, and his parents died in an accident when Gaylord was a professor. While Gaylord admired his scholarly elders in school, he was picked on badly by his peers for being such a "goody two shoes," and wished them pain as he knew he would ultimately rise to acclaim in spite of those short-sighted bullies. He saw himself as another in an elite line of medical holy men who led the world into the light by their inspirational healing hands.
Gaylord is groomed in the calling of a Reverent Doctor. He read extensively, especially on the cutting edge of the medical markets and how to foster and better serve an obedient congregational flock. Prayer, meditation and philosophical discussions filled his evenings when he was in school. He had no significant relationships, and was able to afford women for hire when he so desired.
Gaylord married when he got out of college to a woman who desired the finer things, and would return occasionally to his expansive homes and to her. Her attention meant little to him as he received such adulation at the hospithedral (see hospithedral profile), and, of course, was sought out by the women there who could afford him. His wife tied up the things at home so his attention could remain on his work's calling. They have two children, who are at boarding school year round.
Reverent Doctor Gaylord, a surgeon, is one the elite of the hospithedral's society, and is revered by established as well as visiting congregational members. His entourage includes residents, staff members, social workers and holy men in waiting. He has no real boss, he loves and lives what he does. He is known to bring his patients to physical and spiritual wholeness to a degree that is the envy of his colleagues. He relishes in his self satisfaction and redemption when he does surgery in his surgical sanctuary, and his congregation supports every attempt he makes in his service of his Lord though science. His services has the reputation as a very spiritually moving event, and all are called to join the doctor in the blessedness of the healing of the body that is on his altar table. He is very charismatic, and his anatomical/metaphysical words are very mesmerizing. As he conducts his service, he is part of God coming through him to save the soul and body of the patient up there on the altar. He believes the social aspect of theology is the road to heaven, and that health science is holy and sacred.
Gaylord's most relied upon person is his assistant Helen Whinday, who was a student of his when she was in her third university. With Helen by his side, Gaylord feels complete as a holy man of science and that he can do no wrong. She serves him with complete loyalty and sense of servitude, and her style and sharp intellect fits his needs. His feelings for her runs over into the romantic, though Helen keeps the relationship on a professional level. He quietly feels that he is dependent on Helen and her support, as she ties up things at work so he can better serve his calling.
Gaylord is internally pessimistic, wants to be accepted and praised, perfectionistic and often illusioned, willing to be dishonest, and will use a flash of vibrant personality to ease out of a bad situation. He wants desperately to be loved yet fails to grasp that he has never let his childhood go, how he was so different from the others because of his obligation to his parents, and that he hated the weight of all those expectations. He excels in his position of grandeur because that profession calls for strong men with desperate needs like his. It is his way of putting aside his own burning issues, and to find his own spirituality in the neediness of others.
Gaylord, the antagonist in "Freedom and Mercy", is Ricky Bracken's nemesis. To Gaylord, Ricky personifies the root of dirty sin that the uneducated and nonbelievers bring into this world.
