Sebastian Greymane I

King Sebastian Greymane I (153 F.A. - 200 F.A.) was the king of Gilneas following his mother's death. As his mother never wed, Sebastian was the product of his mother and an unknown man. Rumors circulated that he was the incestuous child of Gwen and his cousin, Teran Greymane, or the result of his mother sleeping with upstart nobility to keep them in line. Regardless of his parentage, he was legitimized as a member of the Greymane family on his first birth day and was never raised as a bastard. After the death of his cousin Teran and the later death of his mother to the Grey Pox, Sebastian became the king of Gilneas. He founded the Gilnean Royal Alchemical Society during the Grey Pox epidemic in order to find a cure for the sickness that claimed his mother's life and began to run rampant through Gilneas.
He later led his kingdom through the First Gilnean-Lordaeronian Border War, where he sacrificed the House of Groatsworth in order to expand Gilneas' territory into eastern Hillsbrad. The war ended after both sides were unable to push any further into each other's territory. He later legitimized Hiram Groatsworth, the bastard son of the deceased Marcher Lord Groatsworth, only for Hiram to defect and take his lands to Lordaeron. Sebastian's late reign was marked with controversy, as he shared a loveless marriage with Cynthia Woolsworth that later bore him his daughter, Gwen Greymane II. Their marriage eventually deteriorated to the point where Cynthia and Sebastian were separated by miles, and he was eventually caught in a scandal of infidelity. Taking the opportunity, he publicly denounced his wife and was shortly after murdered by her at the age of 47.
