#### History

Before recorded human history, the god Haides, desiring to expand his divine portfolio, decided to consolidate his power by making Hekate, titan-goddess of heaven, earth, sea, underworld and magic, his consort, and, thereby, convert Her power to His own. Hekate was disinterested in Haides advances, subtle and overt, and possessed power far superior to his own to easily thwart all his attempts. In disgust and emasculated, Haides fumed until the day Hekate came to him, willingly and submissively; in his arrogance, Haides did not contemplate the irony of the situation, and was therefore easily manipulated by the scheme of a power-hungry succubus, whom desired to take the throne of the Underworld for herself by procuring a divine son. Haides and the succubus mated and she became impregnated; to her misery, this is also how Haides discovered the treachery as the succubus reverted to her true form. In rage Haides cursed the succubus so that with the birth of their son, she would be consumed by him in blazing divine fire. Rejected and scared the succubus tried to terminate the pregnancy, but by Haides curse was unsuccessful; soon enough, the curse came to fruition and **Grimlore** was born from the hell-pyre that was his mother. Refused by Haides, **Grimlore** was taken as a ward by Hekate, and raised to maturity, versed in arcane lore, at which time he ventured into the mortal realms to seek out greater secrets and knowledge of magic.

#### Artifacts, Relics & Objects of Power

* ***Staff of the Pit***: crafted from solidified nether (netherite), the staff is 3.65 meters (11' 11.7") long, with a circumference of 13 centimeters (5.12"); although it has no adornments, it's surface intermittently scrolls with ancient runes of power; when active the entire staff glows an eerie blood red. The staff is capable of chthonic adaption, magic absorption, storage & deployment; **Grimlore** uses the staff mainly to focus his innate power.

#### Paraphernalia

* Extensive Arcane Library, said to be the largest single private arcane literary collection.

#### Trivia

* **Grimlore** continuously levitates one-to-two feet off the ground, as his robes hide his legs and feet, when he moves he glides as if spectral.

#### Notes

* **Grimlore**has no psionic ability, although he is capable of duplicating many through arcana. Not truly a limitation, **Grimlore** is vulnerable to psionic attack provided the interloping mind can cope with the nigh-alien psyche of a divine-demon.
