Grigori Giant's Fury

Grigori was born in 1753 PIR into the Giant's Fury clan of dwarves of Briarport. Early in adolescence, he ran away from home to avoid oppressive family obligations (an arranged marriage). He traveled on land and by boat across a fair portion of Gl'rel.

Along the way, he stumbled upon monks from the Order of the Even Hand, who dedicated themselves to an obscure form of martial arts originally developed to combat the Infernal Reign. Showing some innate skill, he became a warrior and practitioner of this form of combat.

Ultimately, this led to his entanglement with a being known as Relcorin, and being trapped in the Feywild.

After his Escape from the Feywild, Grigori eventually returned to Briarport. There, he attempted multiple business ventures over the years, all of which failed. After years of trying to avoid the inevitable, he finally joined his family business. However, after two weeks he was fired for loosing an entire boat to the Guild (while he was napping in broad daylight on the docks).

Incensed, he joined the Syndicate as a low level smuggler, where he achieved modest success. He was able to accumulate some wealth over the years, only to lose it to gambling and tax evasion schemes. To add insult to injury, the Guild ultimately destroyed the Syndicate, leaving him unemployed yet again.

This was soon rectified however. After receiving a communication from his former boss, Lord Emanuel Woodtide, he was offered a loan that enabled Grigori to purchase the keelship Rinaldi and hire a small crew. He earned a reasonable living from regular shipments to Eldrem Manor (under the table, of course) and a handful of other staggered clients.

His fortunes took yet another turn thanks to the Eldrem Manor Incident. Discovered for falsifying his manifests and tax records, the Guild used Grigori and his vessel to kill Lord Woodtide, his primary customer.

The Guild also took Grigori's vessel and sold it to pay off his tax burdens to Briarport as well as his debts to the newly formed union of workers at the Waldamar Docks. Although free from all debt, he had no boat, no crew, and no prospects. Thus, he began his adventuring life anew, despite being middle aged.

What adventures lay ahead for ol' Grigori?
