Description: Gregory is a relatively tall and wiry man with shoulder length fine light brown hair that gets caught at the slightest wind and his steely blue eyes have an intensity to them that some can find initially off-putting. His smile is disarming, and he gives an aura of being refined and gentle, someone you could open up to and tell all your troubles. If you pay attention you can see that he puts a little of his weight on a walking aid as he walks, and that his posture is a little bent.
Personality: Gregory is a friendly and welcoming person, happy to hear your troubles and provide some comfort. Which is to say that he carefully pays attention to your body language, choses his words with care and guides you down a conversational path that ends up here he wants it to. This isn't to say that he is a manipulative bastard, but it does help him with talking people around to see things from other points of views, getting everyone on the same page, and generally making progress. He genuinely does care about people and want to aim for their betterment, it is just that sometimes, he thinks he knows better than them what they need.
Background: Gregory is the only living decedent of his branch of the Grayfallow family, being the son of Henry Grayfallow, half-brother to Emmanuel Grayfallow on their fathers side. The brothers lived seperate lives, and the families never reunited. As a child Gregory was taught to work on the farm with his father. Nobody in the village was prosperous, but the hard years were few and far between. Had life continued in this way, Gregory would likely have never visited Arx, growing up and in the course of time taking his fathers place. Then came the accident that changed the course of his life. When he was twelve he was thrown from a horse as he led it back into the stables on a stormy night. The horse was spooked and threw him. He spent many weeks recovering, and while his general health has not suffered, his back has, and can no longer bear the weight it once did. Of course, this made him fairly useless as a farmer, where long days of, no pun intended, back breaking labour are expected and endured. The Sereph of the village, a kindly woman by the name of Kayleigh, decided to take him on as an assistant and see what could be made of him. His intellect and determination stood him in good stead for this, and he learned quickly the ways of the Pantheon, beyond what every commoner knows. As time went on and Kayleigh fell into poor health, he took on the position of Sereph in the village, finding the position much to his liking, both in terms of the respect it was shown and giving comfort to the women in the village while their men were away. Gregory did however help the village as he could, leading them through troubled years, assisting where he could and keeping spirits strong with faith. So why is he in Arx? After the Triad of the Lost was found, he finds himself in need of training. He does not know what he should regarding them, and so has relinquished his position in order to head to the City and be taught what he lacks in order to serve the Pantheon better.
Name | Summary |
Ajax | A brother, perhaps, he's a good person. Maybe not? What do I care, I wish him luck in his quest for knowledge. |
Arcadia | Nice, interesting, but think he may be too scholarly and smart for me. |
Dariel | An interesting man with an interesting history who seems to have found his own way in life. |
Delilah | A Brother with an intriguing command of interests. Of course, we share ruins and theology in common, so that there might be further reason to include him in my endless adventures. He is delightfully patient and a fine conversationalist. |
Enid | He did not seem to mind my natural demeanor and to my personal surprise I found myself growing comfortable in the man's presence rather quickly. We seem to share some similar interests as well and I look forward to speaking with him again. |
Erik | Brother Grayfallow is a very knowledgeable man with a deep interest for the past and can even sing a bit. Maybe that's a good strategy for teaching me theology. |
Gilroy | A man of the gods and knowledgeable about the practical application of doctrine to daily life. |
Gretchen | A man of the gods who has definitely read all their pamphlets! He's given me some good ideas about how to incorporate Gild into marketing. |
Kenna | Another Grayfallow! A priest of Skald to boot. The fact that he didn't turn away from Rinel was admirable. I really couldn't have blamed him. |
Lailah | Brother Gregory seems like an inquisitive soul, I approve and look forward to seeing what he brings to the discussion. |
Maja | He's a priest friend of Sir Jeffeth's. It's kind of weird, the things he believes in. It all sounds so .. implausible. Sir Jeffy, the sweetheart that he is, he went along with it because I am sure he didn't want the priest to feel awkward. The world is filled with odd people! |
Miranda | Brother Gregory, a man of the Faith. He's a sly one! I can't decide if I like him or I like him! He's got a mischievousness about him I can relate to and I think he's become one of my favorite people just now. Hard to say if he'll stay that way, but I look forward to finding out! |
Peri | A gregarious scholar and brother of the faith. |
Petal | He seems like a priest with good intentions and a thoughtful way about him. |
Reese | He seems thoughtful and follows all the gods. Seems to be a faithful and interesting man. I hope to learn more about him. |
Rinel | A seraph from a distant town. He will have to adjust to a different Faith, here in Arx. |
Sabella | A disciple of the Faith, although I'm not sure which branch. He seems very tranquil and peaceful! Which was a nice change from most of the people that come to spar in the training center |
Sparte | A cousin I had only heard of in passing until now. He has given his devotion to the faith and been a godsworn for many years, and it suits him well. I wonder if Arx will convince him to stay? |
Videl | Brother Gregory seems like a hard-working, intelligent man with some questionable relatives. Time will tell whether he is as he seems. |
Willow | He seems like a kind and mellow man. |
