Gimbal is an African raven living in the Northeast of the United States. Gimbal has enjoyed cohabitation with humans and dedicated oracular serpents for his entire life, having been raised in a Thracian Temple. He is romantically linked to a red-haired priestess of the Morrigan living in the San Francisco Bay Area, and enjoys committed friendships and ritual kinship with several of the Great Queen’s dedicants.
