Personal history
Raised in a monastery from a hatch-ling, Khelgan Greybone was given as a gift in form of an egg from a traveling group of tortle nomads who sought protection from the monks. The monks defended the nomads and became friends. The nomadic tribes leader, a descendant of the Greybone clan (a powerful warrior clan of tortles) gave forth one of his eggs.
As Khelgan grew he showed proficiency with fighting, but also with academics. Khelgan's brain was as strong as his brawn. He was trained heavily in the monastic tradition of the elements. He honed his body finely and became a very capable warrior monk. Khelgan also spent many days in the monastery's library beyond his training. One day a nearby city guard needed to enlist some long term help from the monks. Khelgan was among those selected. During his few years there he helped the guard in more ways than just brawn. He took a knack to solving many complex mysteries. He would come to be the lead criminal case investigator in the city. When his time there was done however, he still worked for this city as a contract investigator/mercenary. Often called Detective Greybone by members of the guard he picked up quite a reputation not only city wide, but also well across many different cities as a top class detective. He now takes contract work for the monastery and will diligently complete his duty
