Life, Career
Grindstaff accidentally joins the Thieves Guild and realizes that it's not a job one can simply quit.
After working as a general 'Arcanist' with the Black Sun Trading Company for a few years, Grindstaff realizes he's actually working with the Thieves Guild. He attempts to quit, but the lives of his wife and daughter are threatened. He resigns himself to a life of illegal dealings, and decides to make the most of it, for his family. Grindstaff is paired with Deverick, a swarthy, but callous, rogue in the employ of the Guild. They become fast friends, saving each other's lives multiple times over the next few years, as they perform jobs for the Guild. They are an effective team and come to rely on each other.
