Greasy Greg

King of Villa de Greg Greg Eastbridge (a.k.a. Greasy Greg)

Greg Eastbridge, better known as Greasy Greg, is the owner, proprietor and ruler of Villa de Greg. Greg has earned himself a reputation as an incredibly slimy individual who repulses those with even the strongest of stomachs. Despite this, and knowing full well what he looks like and what others think of him, Greg is convinced that he is incredibly charming and irresistible to anyone or anything with a pulse. Greg has attempted to woo many of his victims with his slow drawl of a voice, always standing uncomfortably close as he does. It is thought impossible to find a worse stench than his body odour, but those people have never been close enough to smell his putrid breath emanating from a mouth filled with black, rotten teeth.
A short man, Greg is so small that if he is often mistaken for a child at a distance. It is only when one gets closer that Greg's other features become more apparent, such as his rotund form, making his body seem almost ball-like. Greg's balding and wispy hair and his body, thick with hair, are perpetually greasy, earning him his less than enviable moniker. His face is heavily pockmarked and as greasy as the rest of him, it is rare to see him without spots, both popped and unpopped, and his unwashed and scraggly beard always has some form of substance within it.
Wearing nothing but a satin bathrobe, possibly the cleanest thing about him, he can be seen walking around his domain, inspecting his “wares”. This trip around Villa de Greg will often take most of the morning as Greg will often stop off at one of the brothels that are commonplace in his little kingdom. Here he will partake in whatever the latest trends seem to be amongst the customers, no matter how dark and twisted they may be. Greg claims that it is so that he can understand the minds of his people, although it is actually so that he can maintain his reputation as the vilest person in Villa de Greg, if not the whole of Aland.
Despite his repugnant nature, one can not deny that Greasy Greg is incredibly devious and intelligent. Born in a brothel to a prostitute and one of her abusive clients, Greg was raised in the sex industry. From the moment he could talk and walk he was made to work, first as a labourer and then, once he was of age, as one of the prostitutes. Due to his appearance, Greg usually attracted the least savoury clients. This could include the members of local gangs who couldn't afford any of the better-looking employees or nobles who only wished to release the aggression that had built up throughout their day. Where most would have bent and broken under the miserable hand that fate had dealt him, Greg instead saw an opportunity.
When not working he would sneak into the matron's office and read through her files, learning all he would need to know about running a brothel. While he had an aptitude for accounts and figures, he was even better at finding information and discovering others secrets. Using his position as a punching bag or the cheapest hole, he was able to be party to some very interesting conversations. He would learn about the inner workings of local politics, the relationships between gangs and where new shipments of weapons and drugs might be changing hands. Using all of this information he began to expand his web of informants and agents until he rose above his station and became the foremost Information Broker in Aland. He became so well known that even the Archons of the Tupaulian Church would trade with him, despite their disgust at having to do so.
Eventually earning a fortune so large that it would dwarf the Sylvahni treasury, a city-state known for its merchants and vast fleet of trade vessels. Using this fortune he would hire his own private army of mercenaries, which he would use to clear the islands known as the Coins. From these islands, Greasy Greg would begin building his kingdom and continue growing his empire beyond what fate had originally had in store for him.
