Grilnik is an itinerant healer and strong-man. He is usually looking for oppurtunities to travel, and he is always ready to help those in need.

Grilnik is 192 pounds, 72 years young, and exactly 4 feet tall. He has a long brown beard which is braided through three interlinked brass rings. He wears white underneath his armor, white which has been stained a golden brown at the bottom by the dust of his many travels. He often has his longhammer in hand, using it like a walking stick.
Personality:
Grilnik is both stoic and stern, and when he finds reason to compliment someone, he usually says something good about their beard, or that it's the beard on the inside that counts.
