Greytail

Philip Greytail is an antagonist in Stronghold 3.
==Character==
Philip Greytail is a son of Duc de Puce. He is the middle child of the Rat's three children: the youngest one being Rupert Silverback, and the eldest being Roger Scabcoat.
Like his father, Greytail is driven by greed and lust for power. He has no regard for others' good deeds and prosperity, which he would only make use of for his personal interest, perhaps to live up for his inherited rank. Greytail revels in seeing the crumbled efforts and suffering of other people, and only achieves his goals through cruelty and bloodshed. It is only Duc Volpe whom Greytail fears and treats with respect.
== Biography ==
===Return of the Wolf===
Ten years after the events of the First War, the Wolf forms a syndicate out of the nexts-in-line of the Rat and the Pig to take revenge on the Boy. The underlings are put responsible to take control over the mainlands and undermine the Wolf's opposition.
Philip Greytail launches an invasion on the eastern shoreline, where the Sultan's city prospers, thanks to his investments into seafaring and trade. Catching the Sultan unprepared, Greytail destroys his staff and expels him from the city, while taking his family hostage. Having annexed the city, Greytail also uses the Sultan's flagship to ship slaves instead of goods, making a healthy profit for himself.
The wandering Sultan is met with the Boy and Blackstaff, who desperately require his help. With his helpless situation, the Sultan offers his hidden cache of siege engines in exchange for liberating the city and his family off Greytail's grasp. The two successfully recapture the city, forcing Greytail into hiding in his own lands.
Soon Greytail is attacked by the freedom fighters, after the defeat of Scabcoat in the Iron Duke's lands. He defends together with his brothers, however their joint efforts are nullified by the Boy's military prowess. Once again, the Ratlings scurry away from the mainland, much to the Boy's annoyance, who sends Blackstaff and his scouts after them.
===Blackstaff's Campaign===
Like his brethren, Greytail sets sail to their safe haven, Greyshore Island, where they take part in oppressing the people with the local reigning power, the Brotherhood. It is not long that Blackstaff follows him into this devastated land.
After Blackstaff beats Silverback and captures him in his own castle, Greytail and Scabcoat sends an ultimatum to release their brother and leave. The ultimatum is rejected and the Ratlings march together with the Brotherhood's armed forces against the castle. The siege fails and both of them are to retreat to their villages deep in the Brotherhood's lands.
Eventually, Blackstaff arrives and lays siege on the Rats' settlements. Although both send out forces in an attempt to destroy him, Blackstaff's forces break in and steamroll the defenses, taking both Greytail and Scabcoat in the process. Finally, the Archbishop and their marshal is also removed from their seat of power.
