Greylock Twotails

Leader of the Albin in Lake Gluhend Dezmeer

Greylock Twotails is the current leader of the Albin lizardfolk who live in Lake Gluhend Dezmeer. Being taller, stronger, and smarter than most Lacertians has propelled him on his course of leadership. He is a natural leader who has brought safety, security, and prosperity to his people despite living in the hazardous subterranean environment of the Bos Magara. Under his leadership his people have adopted self-sustaining agriculture, invested in training and defensive measures, as well as adding some new deities to their religious practices.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Greylock is tall, even for a Lacertian, muscular, quick, and agile. His white skin and glowing green scales prove him to be a member the Albins of Lake Gluhend Dezmeer, but his prominent red forehead and horn show him to be the undisputed leader of his people as well.

Identifying Characteristics

As with all of the Albin of Lake Gluhend Dezmeer, Greylock's harder scales and more callused areas have taken up the bioluminescent algae from the waters of his homeland.  These areas of the body now have a very distinctive green glow to them.  Additionally Greylock has manifested a prominent red forehead and cranial crown horn.  He has also earned tattoos of battle, bravery, and leadership and display them on his arms and legs.

Apparel & Accessories

Greylock, like many Lacertians does not favor clothing or armor.  He wears simple loincloths and harnesses for his weapons.  He has picked up a few nice baubles and jewelry over the years as mementos to his peoples victories.

Specialized Equipment

Greylock has no specialized equipment but favors the spear, sword, round shield, and crossbow that he has acquired over his many battles with the dwarves and humans of the Bos Magara.

Mental characteristics

Education

While he has not had any formal education, he has learned everything he knows about the lake and its surroundings from his parents and the tribal shaman. His mother focused his teaching on farming and the environment, his father showed him how to fight and approach battles, and the shaman taught him of leadership.

Employment

Greylock challenged the former leader of the Albin to combat for the right to lead the people of the lake in 711 A.S. He has been its undisputed leader ever since and both he and the people’s lives have become stable, secure, and prosperous ever since that time.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Greylock is quite proud of the accomplishments he has made that so greatly helped his people. Shortly after taking over he has united his people and organized them into a more efficient and successful society. The good of the community now takes precedence over individuals. All decisions are based on how they will enhance the villages. He has introduced sustainable farming in the lake, finally creating a reliable food source that expanded and strengthened the community. This has freed up more time for them to branch out and develop new skills such as turning the Jitter Cane sugar food flavoring into rum. Creating specific village defenses, coordinating raiding parties, and training with new weapons taken from the dwarves and humans of the area.
Perhaps most shocking and beneficial to the community was the inclusion of four new deities to their worship. Mara Tal-lag, for the survival and benefit of the lake where they get all of their resources and life from. Karst-hellir, similarly for living inside the vast cavern and subterranean world. Kilimo and Collita for the planting, growing, and harvesting of the crops. Since these changes have been made the entire population now lives longer and in a more organized fashion, they are happier and healthier than ever before, and they no longer fear attacks from the dwarves and humans.

Failures & Embarrassments

His biggest regret and failure was being unable to prevent a party of his young scout team from exploring past The Blazing Worm lava river in the west. The memory of their disappearance has been used as a cautionary tale to head the advice of the elders and to always make advanced plans.

Mental Trauma

Growing up in the disarray and chaos of poor leadership and constant attacks by the dwarves of Barlang Varos and the humans of Pitharcos has created a sense of paranoia and a desire to be prepared for all eventualities. This has molded him into the great planner and leader that he has become.

Intellectual Characteristics

Although he is not the smartest of the lizard folk, he is very clever, cunning, and shrewd.  He has a natural desire for structure and long term planning.

Morality & Philosophy

Throughout his life he has learned not to believe or trust any other races besides his own.  He only believes in himself and the people that he leads and has trained.

Taboos

Greylock does not allow any rum or alcohol to be consumed on the eve of a battle.  He considers this to be very bad luck.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Ever since he was young, Greylock has been motivated to help improve his community in any way that he could. He experienced too much chaos and danger to remain in the village and do nothing. As soon as he was able to he joined the fighting force that protected his home from the dwarves and humans. Later on he challenged his leader to combat for the right to lead the people. He then made many changes and improvements to his society. Now he looks for ways to extend and grow his peoples prosperity.

Likes & Dislikes

Deep down, Greylock enjoys the simple life of farming in the lake and also in hand to hand sparring.  He despises all dwarves, elves, and especially humans.

Virtues & Personality perks

Greylock is a pragmatic, thoughtful, and involved problem solver.

Vices & Personality flaws

Sometimes Greylock may be so involved in making the perfect plan that he is sometimes too slow to implement that plan in an effective way.  Some of his few critics, the more warlike ones, claim that his delays have cost lives, despite their lack of evidence.

Social

Family Ties

Both of Greylocks parents are deceased and he currently has three sons and a daughter. Each of the three sons leads an expedition part, one to the west and two to the south. His daughter is in line to be the next shaman of the village.

Religious Views

While the Albin pray to many deities, Greylock is most influenced by and worships:

• Lacerta, The Swamp Mother, Goddess Of Swamps And Lacertian.
• Stellio, The Star Lizard, God Of Nocturnal Activities.
• Mara Tal-lag, Goddess Of Lakes.
• Karst-hellir, God Of Caves And The Subterranean.
• Raksturs, God Of Nature.
• Kilimo, God Of Agriculture.
• Collita, Daughter Of The Harvest.

He has rejected and no longer worships Ssarpele, The Black Serpent Of The Dark, and his demigod offspring, Nyoka, Ukame, Se’em Kohltul, and The Dark Serpent.

Social Aptitude

Greylock is supremely confident yet kind and thoughtful about his people.  He is very charismatic and enjoys talking with the community members about things that are going poorly or going well.  When issues arise it is clear that he wants to look at the situation, make a plan, and then tackle it head on.

Hobbies & Pets

Greylock has a pet Razor Raptor named Sscrath, that accompanies him on his travels between villages.  He has little time for hobbies anymore but enjoys seeing the artwork that many of his people do in their spare time.

Speech

As with all Lacertians, Greylock speaks with extended "C" and "S" sounds to his words.
