Personality: He is quiet and anti-social and can barely make it a few minutes in conversation before his hampering stammer kicks in.

Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Grûblik is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: From birth he was tutored by a cruel and relentless mentor. In his youth he was a Apothecary, and wanted to be a champion fighter when he grew up.

He saw the brutality and swore off his fighting aspirations, taking his younger sister on his back after seeing his parents die, and fled the country. Recently a tribe of dire rats attacked the village and all able bodies who could hold a blade were quickly armed and sent to the walls. Grûblik fought at the side of some of the regions greatest heroes but was never overshadowed.
