Gerard d'Honaire is a character first mentioned in the Realm of Terror d'Honaire family tree but also later described in the Legacy of the Blood sourcebook. Now deceased, Gerard d'Honaire was the son of Julienne d'Honaire and Bernard Loverde, the grandchild of Claude d'Honaire and Babette Batista d'Honaire, and the great-grandchild of Germain d'Honaire and Alicia Corgiat d'Honaire.[1]

According to the Ravenloft family trees in Realm of Terror (the black box), Gerard lived from 726 BC-733 BC, living only to seven years old.[1] However, this conflicts with the narrative of Gerard's life described in Legacy of the Blood, where Gerard was old enough to move to Mordent to study medicine and treatment for the mentally ill with his great aunt Bernadette d'Honaire Mousel and his uncle Francois Mousel. This act defied Gerard's uncle Dominic d'Honaire's wishes for him, as Dominic wished Gerard to become a famous alienist in Dementlieu. In bitter retaliation, Dominic called his Obedients to murder Gerard and to hire assassins to kill the Mousels. Gerard was subsequently murdered, and the assassins claimed the lives of Bernadette and her husband Hugues Mousel. Francois escaped the massacre thanks to James Mousel's interceding.[2]
