## Biography

### Pre-Wisdom of the Stars

Berith Gremory was born in 1452 DR in the city of Waterdeep to a Cambion mother and a human father. Early in his life Berith decided to join the Waterdeep City Watch. He would meet his ex-wife Amy Gremory through the job, after she used magic to assist him in catching a criminal on the run. The two wed soon after, and they had their only child, Lucy Gremory, in 1473 DR. The couple moved to the Castle Ward, and lived in relative peace for a few years, with Berith being promoted to Sergeant around this time. His work kept him busy, and according to Lucy, he wasn't around much in her life early on. When they did interact, the two often butt heads, even in Lucy's youth, due to her rebellious nature.

In 1489 DR, Berith gained an injury on the left side of his face after it was clawed by a Dragonborn, and was given a few months off of his job to recover. During his recovery, he began drinking heavily, and argued with Lucy much more. This culminated when he learned that his daughter was a lesbian after finding a love letter she was writing to Patti Abrax, a bard at the theater she worked at. This caused him to disown Lucy, and when she was later accused of murder and arrested, he did nothing. He was promoted to Lieutenant shortly after he returned from his medical leave.

After this incident, Berith and Amy's marriage began to slowly but surely deteriorate, and in 1501 DR the pair separated. This left Berith even more bitter than he had been before, even with his promotion to Captain the same year. He continued to work for the guard, even managing to make an arrangement with the leader of Silver Aster, Edelweiss, where he would give her information about recent and ongoing cases in exchange for her support in his bids to climb the hierarchy of the City Watch.

## Trivia

* Berith's first name, surname, as well as his wife Amy's name are taken from the *Ars Goetia*.
* To date, Berith is the only explicitly homophobic character ever mentioned.
* Berith's personality and backstory bare a coincidental similarity to Harrier du Bois from *Disco Elysium*, with Serenity referring to him as "just fascist Harry."
