Centuries ago Ghrenis along with many others was send on a crusade into the frozen northlands of Thrinea. Ghrenis was one of a few knights who survived both the harsh perilous journey though the frostlands as well as an enemy ambush which claimed the lives of many of his remaining comrades. When him and a few hundred knights finally reached their destination, the city of Rhumel, the knights fought viciously and slaughtered the city defenders and all who stood in their way, however instead of merely taking the city’s gold and valuables and installing one of their own as the ruler Ghrenis proceeded to mercilessly slaughter the city dwellers and burned the city to the ground. Ghrenis’ fate was unknown after those events. Now centuries later Dioneve has raised Ghrenis to fight by her side as one of her trusted generals.
