Education

Employment

For his first years after school Gronk worked entry level positions in kitchens, construction, and home maintenance. While it was odd for an upper-class noble to do this work, Gronk enjoyed it and it let him learn what it was like to live as a commoner. He used his height and strength to help the smaller humans do physical labor. He always felt out of place among the other upper-class nobles.

Accomplishments & Achievements

While working a job in construction at the Cathedral of Aurelia Gronk met an older retired paladin. This paladin, Shepherd, noticed that Gronk had given up his life of luxury and bliss as a noble and decided to work in a field of tough labor and poor pay.
Paladin Shepherd offered to mentor Gronk in the teachings of Aurelia and help shape him to be a warrior of light. Gronk accepted this offer because he saw that he could protect people if he could wield the powers of a paladin.
After 6 years of training Gronk ascended status in the Church of Aurelia and was granted the title of apprentice Paladin.
