Personal history

BG - Before Gustav
 
Unknown home, unknown parents, unknown life. Gustav found me in chains in a cage on some wealthy merchant's. Gustav being a gnome knew that it would be a hard life for an orphaned orc/half-orc and kept me to raise a crew member for his ship, The Water Badger.
 
AATG - Age According To Gustav
 
5 AATG - Gustav begins teaching me swordplay, but Grigor does not want poke. Grigor picks up a woodaxe and starts hacking at deck. The crew tackles young Grigor, but Gustav laughs. Next day Grigor wakes up to two axes
 
7 AATG - Grigor is getting bigger. Next trip to Far Harbor Gustav will look for new axes for Grigor. Gustav is ambushed by the Elven navy on the trip there. We fight, some crew dies. More Elves die. Later Gustav tells Grigor of the tyranny of the Elves. Grigor now knows that the High Elves hate freedom.
 
13 AATG - Terrible storm off the Stormlands. The Water Badger breaks. Grigor wakes up clinging to wood floating just off of Tairos surrounded by a glowing sea. Literally glowing a soft blue/green light. The new gods have saved Grigor, have given him their blessing. Grigor's crew is gone. Gustav is gone. Where Grigor knows not. All Grigor have left of Gustav are his axes. Grigor swims to land soon finds an abandoned shelter, in the beach cliffs. Blessing from Gods.
 
14 AATG(?) - Grigor wandered lands fending for himself, but in need of crew. Grigor getting much stronger. Grigor faster too. Some bandits wanted Grigors food. Grigor's axes cut them in two. Never has Grigor done so much damage so quickly. The Gods have blessed Grigor. Stronger, faster, their magic courses through Grigor. But why?
 
15 AATG (?) - On the road, Grigor finds a wagon train beset by bandits. Grigor ask what going on. Bandits attack Grigor, so Grigor use his magic on them. Bandits are unprepared for such magic. Bandits bodies fall apart. The Birdman, Tengu as Grigor remembers them .Gustav said Tengu had good hauls on their ships. You always ask a Tengu for his haul if you meet them. But Grigor does not have crew. Grigor needs crew. Tengu says Grigor has saved him a lot of money. Tengu needs enforcer to make sure he always gets his money. Grigor has crew now.
 
16 AATG - Grigor not really have crew. Tengu uses Grigor to scare others. Why Grigor so scary. Gustav had said mainland not like Grigor because of Grigor's face. Orc face he has. Gnomes like Gustav fine with it, crew like Gustav's fine with it, Far Harbor used to Grigor. Must be magic. Grigor so much stronger than when with Gustav. On Tengu job he's seen magic, and Grigor's has always been mightier. Gustav. It's been long. Long since Gustav. Grustel, Gustav's brother is crew. Maybe that's how Grigor gets crew back. Visit Grustel. Let him know Gustav and crew claimed by sea. Maybe Grustel's bar back home need crew. Yes. Grigor informs Tengu (T'zaku) he needs crew. Tengu begs him to stay. Grigor say his mind is made up. Tengu suggest Westbound Star to get him home. Only group who will accept his...condition. Grigor knows his magic is scary. Grigor not want to frighten unless necessary. And along the way, maybe Grigor will make his magic even greater!
