Grex had grown up as a blacksmith's apprentice, working long, hard hours in the forge for several years until the day that everything changed for so many residents of Vasselheim. He watched as the hordes of nightmarish flying creatures (shadow wyverns) descended upon the city he called home, killing innocent people in droves & destroying countless buildings. All of this going on under the shadow of a walking mountain hurling boulders, as meteors fell upon the denizens of Vasselheim. After the harrowingly close call with Vecna assaulting the city & with incursions from other planes on the rise in general over the last 20 years, some paladins have begun taking the Oath of the Watchers. Grex found himself compelled to alter the entire course of his life to become one such paladin, devoted to Bahamut & vowing to safeguard the Material Plane from the horrors of the Outer Planes that seek to exert their will over our world. After years of training in combat, slowed by the need to also spend time in the Temple of Bahamut praying, he finally took his Oath a few years back. Since then he hasn't spent much time in Vasselheim, wading into the world following orders from his Order of Paladins to root out incursions & smite the creatures that manage to make it into our world before their influence can take root & spread.

Most recently, he has been sent across the Ozmit Sea to Tal'Dorei in search of an answer to the incursions of Fey that plague the continent sporadically.

Morality & Philosophy
