## Biography

### Soulcalibur VI

The mysterious Aval Organization was a secret group with origins rooted in ancient times. They say the group came to be when a king used the spirit sword to defeat its cursed counterpart, and with his dying breath, entrusted them with both the blade and his unfinished mission. Each new generation has taken on the group’s mission to rid the world of “Outsiders”—those connected with the cursed sword.

One such member was Grøh, about whom little is known save for that he was a fearsome warrior. Though his fighting style is shrouded in mystery, he is believed to have wielded two swords. Some also say he kept a certain technique close to his chest…

## Physical Appearance

Grøh has white hair with purplish blue streaks, an eyepatch on his left eye, which seems to have been scratched, a dark grey and black oufit, and a purplish blue armor on his left arm.
Grøh's Soul Charge changes the colors of the streaks in his hair from blue to red during the fight and his eye color from grey-blue to glowing red. When the armor is removed from his arm, he has scars going from his wrist to his shoulder. These scars glow during Soul Charge.

## Fighting Style

Grøh is able to separate his weapon into two swords. He is able to teleport and to use shockwave attacks.
Like his hair, his weapon trail changes color, from blue to red.

## Trivia

* His weapon greatly resembles the Dual Jian used by Cao Pi in some games of the *Dynasty Warriors* series.
* He is the first Nordic character presented by the series. Specifically, he's from Norway, which was under Danish dominion at the time the *Soul* series is set.
* His line "*Chevalier mal fet!*" is a reference to the book written by T.H. White, "*The Ill-Made Knight*", which talks about the adventures, perils and mistakes of Sir Lancelot, who calls himself the "*chevalier mal fet*" which translates to "Badly knighted knight."
* Grøh's weapon, Aerondight Replica, draws its name from Lancelot's sword, Aerondight/Arondight.
	+ Also, Grøh's fighting style, Aval dual-swordsmanship, seems inspired by Avalon, the legendary island in Arthurian tales.
