PersonalityEdit
Geoffrey Chaucer is a cunning, charming young man and a writer. His most successful work so far has been The Book of the Duchess, although it may have only been known to the upper classes. In the movie, William, Wat, and Roland (who are only squires) do not recognize Chaucer’s name, nor do they recognize the title of his book. While he is at heart a writer, he has held jobs in many different walks of life, and took part in politics as a diplomat. He knows the line, and although he enjoys coming close, he will rarely cross it. He grew up in the middle class. He was educated well, and was a clever boy. He joined the army in the Hundred Years’ War, so he can fight a little.
Chaucer’s favorite past-time is gambling, and it is also his downfall. He can be quite greedy, and enjoys the finer things in life when he can get his hands on them. The first time we see him in the movie, he is stark naked, “trudging” down a dirt path. He has been stripped of his clothes and belongings and abandoned due to his gambling debts. He doesn’t learn his lesson either, because once the main characters arrive at the tournament, Chaucer finds someone to gamble with and gets in trouble again. Obviously, he is not very lucky.
Chaucer enjoys the limelight. He knows how to twist words to make them more exciting, such as the scenes in which he introduces William. He is very intelligent, and he knows it. He would rather use words than his fist in a bad situation like in the movie when the angry peasants are taunting William. He also tends to avoid conflict when at all possible.
He’s somewhere in his early twenties, and just trying to enjoy life through drinking, gambling, and women. He might marry someday, but he is not yet married and is not interested at the moment. He likes children, and might consider having some in the future, but not now. Chaucer enjoys animals, as seen by his treatment to William’s horse in the movie. When it comes to religion, Chaucer has probably committed many sins. He does believe in God and prays, and probably attends church occasionally.
Chaucer is cheeky and mischievous and will always end up in trouble. He can act rather childish and silly to amuse others or even just himself. In the tournament, Chaucer makes a small mirror reflect the sunlight in a competing herald’s eyes, making the man mess up his speech terribly. He isn’t a shy person, and will try to keep his good humor up in even the worse situations. He doesn’t mind bending the rules, like he does in the movie by forging documents of nobility, but his moral compass is not completely off, shown by the loyalty he has to William and his friends. In the end, if you gain Chaucer’s trust, he is a very good friend to have around.
HistoryEdit
"Look, I have a gambling problem. I can’t help myself. And these…people…they’ll, quite literally, take the clothes off your back."
CanonEdit
Chaucer's been in and out of trouble because of his gambling for some time. He just publishedThe Book of the Duchess, and has been making a living as a politician.
ParadisaEdit
Chaucer arrived in Paradisa and thought it was Paradise. He got drunk and wished up whatever pleased him. That point of view came to an end when he discovered his loss was the ability to gamble. Since then, he has enjoyed meeting new people, drinking, and trolling people.
RelationshipsEdit
"All human activity lies within the artist's scope."
CanonEdit
FriendsEdit
William Thatcher (Sir Ulrich von Leichtenstein of Gelderland)- A stubborn and hard-working young man. Geoff meets William, Wat, and Roland the first time he lost at gambling and is "trudging" down a road, completely naked. He offers to forge documents so William can pretend to be a knight and enter tournaments. He becomes his herald. They become fast friends, and Chaucer helps William to "change his stars."
Wat (Fowlehurst of Crewe)- These two had a rough start to the friendship. They always seem to be butting heads, to the point that Wat actually punches Chaucer and Chaucer pushes Wat over, but it's all cool. They're bros in the end.
Roland (Delves of Dodgington)- Roland seems to disapprove of Chaucer's attention-whoreness, probably mostly because he's afraid they'll get caught, but the two seem to bond more over beer and bets.
Kate- A blacksmith who's out to prove she can do anything. Chaucer seems to believe in her more than the other guys, and treats her more like a lady. Although, they're bros (sisses, sis-bros??) in the pub.
Acquaintances (Friendly With)Edit
Jocelyn- Just knows William has the hots for her. Is worried William aims too high, but he helps the couple out.
Edward, the Black Prince- Tells William to withdraw from a joust when they discover his opponent is the prince in disguise. Later, the prince helps William out of a tight spot.
EnemiesEdit
Count Adhemar - Really thinks this guy is rotten to the core, but he knows they can't be disrespectful. Keeps Wat from running after him.
Peter The Pardoner and Simon The Summoner of Rouen- He lost a bet to these guys and they stripped him naked and took his things. It looks like they beat him up a little, too.
