Birthplace: Sunberth
Living in: Ravok
Appearance: Gregory is rather short for a man his age. Standing barely at five foot and six inches. He is a lean person. He's got short black hair and a messy beard that quite obviously hasn't seen a comb in years. Or a razor either for that matter. He really looks like the pitfighter he has been for years. Unwashed, covered in scars from the years of fighting and always on the lookout for danger or a trick.
Character ConceptGregory despises authority, doesn't take most, if any, things at face value, has a healthy fear of magic and is too stubborn to die properly. Traits any Sunberther develops when growing up in the anarchic city. Him being enslaved and sold in the far off Ravok hasn't changed those things any. It might have made them even worse.
Aside from those basic traits that almost any Sunberther has. He is a loyal person. Some of the other pitfighters even compared him to a dog at some point. If you're a good friend of him he will go to the ends of the earth and drag himself through the darkest depths of despair just to give you a favor. Abuse or get yourself on his bad list however; and he'll bite back. Just like an abused dog would.
Just like a dog, he can be very vicious. Honor is something he knows about and completely discards, crotch shots, breaking bones, stabbing people in the back during a fight. Attacking people when they are down. He all did it before without any problems.
Character HistoryHis life before he was enslaved and shipped of to Ravok wasn't really much. He was a stubborn brat that carved out a living in the cesspool of a city. He lived in the orphanage. Supplementing the food he got from there by going out and getting his sneaky hands on everything that wasn't nailed down and pawning it off for food or miza's. Pretty average for a guy in Sunberth really.
Somewhere around his 14th birthday though he managed to get jumped by a group of slavers and he was locked up in a cage with other chumps who had just as much luck as he had. That's how he ended up in Ravok. He was healthy and strong, so they sold him to the pit.
Five years he lived there. Fighting three times a week in the pit against everything they threw at him. Sometimes he lost, sometimes he won. But he always gave the crowd what they wanted, a fight and blood. He also was a tough guy, refusing to die.
After five years of blood, pain and voilence he was suddenly pulled out of his cell. Thrown a rag and some soap. Was told to clean himself up. They told him somebody paid a decent lump of money to take him of their hands. After he was clean and somewhat presentable they brought him before his new master. Somehow, even though he was released from the constant fighting in the pit. He had a feeling his new life under his new master wouldn't be easier then his previous life. Maybe difficult in other ways. But not easier.

Heirloom: A battered bastard sword: It's nothing special when you look at it. A well used and slightly worn sword. But it's the sword he has been using for the last years in the fighting pit. It saved his life multiple times and the one who bought him from the pit also shelled out the cash for the sword. To him it's the sole reason he is still here
