Gayal was the Ravnos who recorded the teachings of Chandraputra and Zapathasura into the Path of Mayaparisatya, using the patterns discovered in the dharmas of their hated enemies to encompass the search of vampiric svadharma as well as patterns seen in mortal Hinduism. Clan legends tell that he was a terrifying warrior, who was known to have killed scores of Cathayans by himself, and a great scholar who came to admire the culture of their enemies. Critics of his formalization of the path claim that this act destroyed the personal approach that was before the most important part of the Path.
