At some point most boys want to be like their father. For Grigore that point came when he as a young boy first saw his father plead a case to the court in Carrion Hill. Although he didn’t understand much, he was fascinated with the way his father held everyone attention.

Young Grigore was a short, overweight child, silent and not much to look at un-like his charismatic father. But as his father often said it is what is between you ears that count and Grigore certainly had something between his ears. It was quite clear that he had an understanding for the books. His father used to let him sit in his study while preparing his cases, wearing his old barrister’s gown and reading the law, these were happy times.

The not so happy times were during school where Grigore was bullied. Finally during the last years of school, he thought that since reason didn’t work on his oppressors the law might, but he was cut short mid argument by a fist. The straw finally broke the camels back and the teenager went to the crows to report his complaint. Initially the desk sergeant laughed at the boy, but the laughter stopped as the boy once again began quoting the law. That day Grigore learned that the law could protect the weak and Commander Garus learned from an angry desktop sergeant that this kid might be trouble.

After school Grigore started with his father in the small firm and was soon handling smaller assignments and doing fact checking on the documents from the solicitors. It became clear to the old man that while Grigore would never have his presence in a courtroom he had a fantastic understanding of the law. Not wanting to waste this talent his father decided that the young man should attend school in Caliphas and delve into the finer aspects of the law.

In Caliphas however Grigore’s priorities changed as a new more exciting topic presented itself, magic. Fascinated with the laws of magic rather than the laws of man, he began to skip classes and finally after failing the bar exam enrolled at the Academy of Arcane Knowledge. However his family remained unaware of this and continued to fund what they thought was law studies. The joy of magic quietens his bad conscience. Passing each test with honours, he was finally accepted into an apprenticeship with one of the masters in divinations who saw his potential.

Travelling with his master on his journeys across Ustalav he learned the more practical side of magic and the effects of dire harrowings. Many a time his master had to calm and counsel influential citizen who had turned to the Varisian travellers for harrowings. Often they were parlour tricks and wrong but a few were true. This developed a healthy scepticism of the Varisians in Grigore.

A letter was waiting for he, when he returned from such a counselling. His father was sick and needed him to help with the family business. After contemplating his problem, he ended the apprenticeship with his masters blessing, bought a forged bar exam in Caliphas and returned home.

The man who arrived in Carrion was vastly different than the boy who left. Still a little bit shorter than the average citizen about 5’7’’, but now about average weight approximately 160 lbs. He had a trimmed beard and short hair, both dark brown. His young face was starting to show the marks of a traveller. The only thing that remained from the boy who left was his grey eyes.

There was much rejoice when he stepped into the small family home. His father was very pleased when he presented the forged exam, it stung quit a bit in his heart. At that moment he decided that he would leave as soon as possible. It was better that they never learned the truth. His mother scolded him for the rather dirty travelling outfit he was wearing and the weasel he brought with him.

He started seeing solicitors and clients after having used the first few days to settle in. It started small but steadily his reputation grew and the cases got more important. It was said that he lacked his father’s charisma, but had a firmer grasp of the law. In particular one chase caught the attention of his colleagues. He successfully defended Rupman Myre a local merchant against an inheritance claim regarding his maternal inheritance. The prophecy of the desk sergeant many years ago came true and the crows lost some case to the new barrister much to commander Garus’ dismay.

While leaving city hall after a client meeting councilwoman Dimyian and her solicitor he was stop by mayor Heggry, who recognized him. The two had meet in Vische, where Grigore and his master were counselling the Vische mayor after a particular nasty harrowing. This made the mayor one of the few in Carrion Hill who knew his secret. He asked Grigore to consult the city counsel on special within his specialty

Later that evening he sat in front of the fireplace contemplating the mayor’s offer. Hora had already indicated that he thought they should choose the option, which gave the most eggs, still a bit feral but increasingly sentinel. The chain of thought was however interrupted by his sister announcing a messenger with a summon from the mayor.

The desire to study laws drives Grigore to continue, first the laws of man and now the laws of magic. Wanting to delve into magic and use it to protect himself if need the only thing stopping him is his obligations towards his family, if only he could combine both.

A quiet thoughtful man, who talks less than most. Grigore is very passionate about few things in life family, magic and law, normally in that order. Striving to be honourable and reliable it pains him to have to lie.
