## Biography

### Background

Originally hailing from Tarchus, or the Amaranthine Trench as it grew to be known by the people of the land, Gralkrowr the Exile's story is one of much sadness and pain.

When Gralkrowr was a young Kragnowr he enjoyed life in the Trench, and had grand aspirations of being an Abyss Guardian of his homeland, just like those that he observed daily. He wanted nothing more than to protect his land, for it was all he had ever known. But his story does not have a happy ending. One day his life came crashing down around him, while he was observing the Trench guards as was one of his favourite past-times; he overheard a familiar voice on the edge of tears coming from the shadowed section of the Trench that he was told he should never stray into.

"I accept my punishment. It seems I have no other choice. But if you don't want me to tell my secrets to every Kragnowr I ever meet I have one requirement for me to go quietly. Do not tell my brother of what happened to me. He knows nothing of this, and idolises the Abyss Guardians. It would break his heart. Please do this for me."

Gralkrowr didn't understand what was happening but he recognised that voice, as the shadowed figure swam out of sight. Gralkrowr swore he knew exactly who that was. He screamed as loudly as he could, and out of frustration and confusion he charged one of the Kragnowr holding his kin captive.

"Where did he go? What did any of that mean? I don't understand!" Screamed Gralkrowr, teetering on the brink of madness. The Guardian placed their hand upon his shoulder and calmly replied "You didn't see any of this, boy. It would be best if you didn't ask any questions and move on."

Gralkrowr then made the worst mistake he could have, and pulled a bluff that he knew of the secrets his brother knew of. The Guardian believed him, and in an instant he lunged forth in attempt to grab the new enemy of his people, failing to grasp him at the last second as Gralkrowr darted away from the Trench.

"Sound the alarms! Alert the other Guardians! Gralkrowr is an ally of the exile and must be immediately captured!" bellowed the Guardian, as Gralkrowr gained distance on him towards the surface.

There was no going back, Gralkrowr was confused and angry. He didn't know what happened back in the Trench but he knew he couldn't go back. His bluff had made him an enemy.

Two centuries later, there are rumours of a colossal Kragnowr roaming the lands searching for something, or someone. Nobody knows who they are or why they wander, but a name has been whispered in hushed tones. Gralkrowr the Exile.

## Trivia

* Gralkrowr is intolerant to fish, and avoids eating anything with fish in it.
