Dash Gardiner

Dashiell "Dash" Gardiner is a powerful warlock and one of the main characters of Witches of East End. Dash is the son of the late Penelope Gardiner, the older brother of Killian Gardiner, and the father of Ingrid's Unborn Child.

Early Life
When Dash was only a baby his mother stole his powers to make herself stronger. When she died, his powers were restored. Many years later, Dash was engaged to a woman named Elyse. The relationship was rocky to begin with, but things took a turn for the worse when his brother, Killian, slept with her three months before their wedding day. This drove a wedge between the brothers and started a feud that has continued to this day. Dash was later engaged to Freya Beauchamp.

Personality
Dash is the wealthy fiance of Freya Beauchamp, a woman who is unknowingly a witch. Troubles arise when she becomes drawn to his mysterious and troubled brother Killian Gardiner.

Unlike his younger brother Killian Gardiner, Dash is very motivated and focused, both on his career and his family. Dash is also very loyal, as he is dedicated to his mother Penelope Gardiner and lives with her in Fair Haven. Dash works at the East End hospital, where he works as a doctor and is often called to speak at conferences due to his vast knowledge. Dash is also a very forgiving person, he chose to forgive his fiancee Freya Beauchamp when he discovered that she had kissed his brother Killian. He even welcomed his brother back to Fair Haven, as Killian has no memory of what Dash did to him and he's the only family Dash has left. Despite their differences, Dash truly cares for his younger brother and was scared that he'd end up killing him only a short while after they started staying under the same roof.

However, upon having been left at the altar by Freya and finding out that his mother died, he ended up becoming bitter and angry, feeling betrayed by what Freya did to him. This is in tandem with his growing curiosity for his newly discovered powers. He is also haunted by hallucinations of his brother Killian. His anger and resentment toward Freya extends to the other Beauchamp women, Joanna and Wendy, as he turned them away despite their reaching out to him kindly. He was furious at his younger brother, Killian, for ruining his engagement yet again, once saying that, for all he cared, he hoped that both Killian and Freya would rot.

He has no hard feelings toward Ingrid, though he might have considered using it as a front to get to understand his growing powers better, as they share identical brain structures. Nevertheless, he approached her kindly and treated her with respect, telling her that she doesn't need to apologize for what happened to him. He even killed Kyle Hutton, his blackmailer, because he wanted to protect her. With Ingrid's help, his worries about his gifts are put to rest, as he discovers he isn't going insane and that he is not alone. He is grateful to Ingrid for telling him the truth and helping him when she didn't need to, promising that he'll do anything for her in return for all that she has done for him. He clearly trusts Ingrid a lot and holds her in high regard.

He is seen to be very adventurous with his newfound gifts, convincing his younger brother to try a spell from his family's grimoire. However, upon seeing the deadly effects of what he did, he tried his best to help his younger brother and called for Ingrid to help them out.

 * -|Killian Gardiner =

Killian Gardiner
Killian is Dash's younger brother. Dash and Killian's relationship was compromised when Killian slept with Dash's fiancé, Elyse, before their wedding. When Killian returned to East End, Dash was less than enthusiastic and tried his best to keep away from his younger brother. He was also less than enthusiastic when Freya found out about Elyse, something that Dash used to his advantage to keep Freya away from Killian, earning his younger brother's ire for not telling Freya the whole truth. When Dash found out that Killian and Freya had a moment in their engagement party, he was absolutely furious and attacked Killian in The Bent Elbow. Though he eventually forgave Freya, the same could not be said for Killian. Things came to a head when Freya left Dash for Killian, causing Dash to confront Killian and inadvertently attack him with pulses of invisible force. He then loosened the ropes that held Killian's boat to the pier and left the scene.

Dash's anger for his brother remained strong as ever a week after he left him for dead. However, he began hallucinating about Killian, which was coupled with his issues about his growing powers. Finally, both Dash and Killian were reunited when the latter came back to Fair Haven, unaware of his brother's hand at almost dying at sea, and was welcomed back by Dash. Dash and Killian are in the process of repairing their relationship, finally being able to stay in the same room, talk casually, and work together. When a spell they did was killing Killian, Dash was really concerned as he tried everything to help his brother. He was more than glad to have his brother back after he, Killian, and Ingrid worked together to reverse their spell. (See the main page for Dash and Killian)

He even kept her from seeing her boss, Dr. Foster, who walked into the 4th of July picnic after being attacked by the Mandragora.

However, it was only a matter of time before Ingrid finally told Dash about his growing powers and the fact that she, too, was a witch. Dash even killed Kyle Hutton, his blackmailer, because he wanted to protect Ingrid from him.

He reassured Ingrid that none of the chaos that happened between them was her fault and that he is more than willing to help her with anything, in gratitude for all that she has done for him. Ingrid came to Dash's aid again when a spell he cast with Killian went horribly wrong. Together, they reversed the spell and saved Killian's life. Dash couldn't be more grateful and was more than prepared to help Ingrid when he discovered the wounds on Ingrid's back from feeding the Mandragora, vowing to help her figure things out.

He helps the Beauchamp's to defeat the Mandragora and ask Ingrid out on a Gala evening as friends, buying her a dress. At the party they dance and agree that they're not just friends, they've been through hell together and they saved each other. Dash says that they should "get a little lost, to see where they end up".

Powers and Abilities
Dash is a Warlock whose powers come from his emotions, most notably his rage. Like all warlocks, he can move things with his mind and cast spells. Dash was born a warlock, but his powers were stolen from him when he was just a baby, alongside Killian. Their powers were only returned when their mother, Penelope, was killed. When he first used his powers, he was able to throw Killian around using pulses of invisible force, almost killing his brother.

Dash has an affinity for channeling electricity through his hands and using it for various purposes. When fueled by his rage, he is capable of shorting out computers, making cars explode, and killing a man by bludgeoning him with fists imbued with electric energy. He is also proficient in lighting fires with the power of his mind. Though at first he had to channel his rage to do so, he can now light fires with a snap of his fingers.

Dash's first spell granted him physical, mental, and emotional protection, but took the vitality of his younger brother, Killian. He wasn't skilled enough to reverse the spell, as he called for Ingrid's help to save his brother's life, which they did.
