I liked the grandmother one. A family member hunting a pc down can be a great story.

You are quite right, though the one I mentioned here is the Grandmother of all witches ;-)
The reverse is true also. My RotRL Ranger has quite an axe to grind with his middle brother and his stepmother who eloped together after trying to kill his father and his elder brother. He is a strong believer in Erastil's ways and will see them brought to justice one day after all this tedious Runelords business settles down.
A good old feud, there is so much that can be done there.

495. I'm just a little halfling, waiting until they sleep. Then I can rob them like it's Golden Axe.
496. Poison.
501. I'm living on borrowed time, and so far I've accrued a big debt to them.
502. Keep it under your hat, new initiate, but we're all a coven of witches and hags. If one of us dies, the others will reincarnate us. It's random, but it works well. We can't even die of old age!

503. I can kill them all if necessary, but until then they're good people to watch my back.
503a. That assassin is a slippery one, but we can keep him in check.
504. I have a terrible Will save.
504a. Good thing they have a terrible Will save.
505. We're summoned monsters to fight for the Conjurer.

506. They did not judge me when I was trying to keep my undead child in this world, in foolish defiance of Pharasma's edicts. They bore witness when I destroyed it in penance and reunited with the great goddess. I will walk with them to the Graveyard one day and we will stand together before my Lady's judgement.

Apologies if this one has already been posted here and I just missed it...
507. We were soldiers in the army and sentenced to a life in prison for crimes we did not commit. We promptly escaped and, while trying to prove our innocence, we formed a band of mercenaries that, if you can find us and no one else can help, maybe you can hire us.
Oh, and we have a cool black-with red-stripes horseless carriage.

Because I seem to be stuck on an 80's kick for my reasons at the moment...
513. I was a town guard that was supposedly killed in the line of duty. They saved me and gave me this awakened black chariot that is not only capable of moving on its own, but is extremely intelligent and dang-near indestructible. The chariot's real cool too - there's this gem I press to increase its speed and enables it to jump long distances.
514. Because the Princess needs 4 others to pilot the lion-shaped constructs that can unite to form a giant golem with which we are to use to fight the invading army from beyond the veil.

515. We are all giant shapeshifting warforged who crashed on this world when flying our planehopping galleon. Now if we can just fight off our enemies, the Betrayers!
516. We are all spawns of Lamashtu, brothers and sisters in arms.
519. Because they think I am a pack mule, as weight doesn't seem to bother me (oh how I will laugh when they die and I get away with all their stuff, tee hee hee!).
522. I hate him, he hates me, and as soon as we get out of here, I'm gonna kill him. But right now there are lots and lots of common enemies trying to kill the two of us. Sleeping with one eye open is better than never sleeping at all.
523. Wait, you can see them? So my imaginary friends aren't really imaginary after all.

526. They really are my imaginary friends. I'm just a very good summoner.

527. My father was a great man, all my companions knew him and respected him. We are here to avenge his death and bring down the kingdom.
Suikoden!

SUIKODEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
529. The seers speak of a group of legendary heroes, each hero is a star of destiny. My compatriots are the stars we have gathered so far. There are more out there.
MOAR SUIKODEN!!!!!!

530. The halflings and gnomes needed a human to reach the stuff on the high shelves.

537. All our names rhyme.

538. They are the only ones who can stand me. Other people think I'm an offish prudish fanatical close-minded murderous vengeful bastard worshipper of Iomedae (and they are right, but I can't understand why they can't see I am right [to be like that]).
Lamashtu is the way for you.

I and six of my other dwarf friends have been asked to take in and keep a fugitive from the queen's wrath safe until her prince comes.

532. We are actually a living version of those Russian dolls. You know where the smaller ones can hid inside the larger one. Its a good ambush tactic.
Matryoshka!

533. We all saw this sign that read "Come to the Dark Side. We have cookies." And they were right. They had cookies and the cookies were good. Now we're all stuck wearing this white armor that doesn't protect anything while stationed in a giant flying disco ball that can blow up planets.

537a. Our names may or may not all be Earl.
537b. "I'm Dod, this is my brother Fod. Also from Agamar. This is my brother Lod."
544. We're here looking for wives. There are only six beautiful women where we're from, and they're all married.
545. Because I'm on a quest to populate the world with my children, and these are my first conquests. Except the Barbarian. Her Attractiveness score is only 19, so she's more of a person to carry stuff and hit things. The rest are going to bear my children.

546. I'm their contractual leader
547. I'm only with them until I'm strong enough to take on the lich.
547a. Flanking partners
548. They help carry all my gear.
549. Oh...those idiots? They'll all burn eventually, but for now, they're good meat shields/
550. The halfling scares me.
551. I'm their contractual leader.
552. Braaaaaaains!
