Mr. Grey

Mr. Grey (a.k.a. The Two Path Guide)

You awaken to discover yourself in a room covered entirely in gray tiles. The only thing you saw in this room was a man sitting at a desk and staring directly at you. The desk and chair are nothing spectacular as you approach, but you can't say the same about the man. The man appears to be wearing two separate garments that are split exactly in the center.

On the man's Right side, He appears to be very important and powerful, donning a business suit, pulling back his hair, and clean shaving. You have the impression that this man could open any doors for you to walk through. His left side appears to have very sloppy hair, a five-clock shadow, and loose-fitting robes. It appears that this man is now wise and aware of his place in the world. You have the impression that this man can show you how to open lots of doors.

The problem is that he is staring directly at you with both of his gray eyes. You feel a pull to get closer, as you slowly walk up to him. "Welcome young witch, my name is Mr. Grey. I have many choices for you to make," he says. You feel a chill run down your spine as he pulls out two pieces of paper and sets them in front of you.


Mr. Grey is a guardian spirit from the metaphysical world. No one knows what realm or region of the metaphysical realm he belongs if any. All we have ever known about him is that he taught witches to become extremely strong in their own way. Mr. Grey can instruct them in all aspects of the craft and does not need a Covent Guardian to go beyond the normal teachings of a guardian. Unlike most guardian spirits who are limited in their abilities. The witch that Mister Grey inhabits can become as powerful as a covenant witch.

He appears to possess an endless array of skills and magical powers that he can use to impart knowledge to the witch he has chosen to serve as his vessel. Nobody is actually aware of Mr. Grey's full capabilities or range. He never takes action; instead, he constantly gives the witch he is inhabiting two passes to pick from. He appears to offer these options to his witch at pivotal times. He does train them, but they only receive their greatest skills when something significant is happening. So, if you're the witch who Mr. Grey resides inside. In the path you do take, pay attention to what he has to offer.

Personal history

One of the most beloved witches Mr. Grey ever assisted was a witch by the name of Sean Otakun who was a well-known healer and pharmacist. With the aid of his witchcraft and potion-making, he can assist people with various needs. He was willing to assist anyone from weary bodies to deep wounds. He even created several extremely potent medicines to aid in the treatment of certain ailments. He learned this from Mr. Grey. Sean primarily followed Mr. Grey's path to become a healer and peacemaker. He rarely picks the path to give him power and poisons. Until the day he returned home and discovered his wife had been slain, the murderer was still standing over the corpse.

In the next second, Mr. Grey takes him into his office where he slows time and gives him a choice between two paths. The initial course of action consisted of a charm that would instantly put the murderer to sleep and a medicine that would numb his personality and make him more obedient. The second was a curse that would cause him unending pain throughout the day that imitates the pain he has done to his victims and poison to silence his vocal cords. With two choices it front of him, he immediately chose the path.

However, he was in Mr. Grey's office, a dimension space within his head. He was still able to see the man who had just killed his wife in front of him. He found it very simple to desire to harm this individual because of his anguish and heartbreak.

Sean then replied, "I will be choosing the path of pain and silence because I want the ability to make this man suffer," to Mr. Grey.

Mr. Grey then asked a question, " Is that the Path, you truly see yourself on? Is that the path you truly want?”

This question, which he has heard repeatedly over every time he has chosen a path. This time it strikes a nerve inside him for some reason. He began by discussing the proper course of action and the justification for it. In contrast to the decisions he wanted to make; he wanted to cause the person who had taken someone from him as much agony and suffering as possible.

He started to consider what his wife would want from him, and he was so worried at every notion that he started crying. "Mr. Grey, you are correct. This is not the path I see myself taking; I will choose the other."

Mr. Grey then asked the same question, " Is that the Path you truly see yourself on? Is that the path you truly want?”

” No, Mr. Grey, this is not the course I want to pursue, but it is the course that my wife would want me to follow. Sean replies sadly. I therefore only see myself on that one." As the space was a determined look, looking straight at Mr. Grey.

Mr. Grey, with a very satisfied and eerie smile, shakes Sean's hand and speaks. "Here's the power and knowledge you seek for the path you had chosen to walk." Sean had never seen Mr. Grey smile before.

He had the impression of Mr. Grey, but he had returned to real-time. He uses his latest charm to put the murderer to sleep, and he apprehends him. He handed him over to the city guard after that. That came after he forced him to consume the liquid that would make him submissive to what he had done.

When Sean was at his weakest, Mr. Grey loved that he took the path that was the toughest for him to follow. Watching Sean struggle between what he wanted to accomplish and his ideologies and expectations from his wife was enjoyable to watch. For Mr. Grey, it was only sweet satisfaction.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

The main driver behind Mr. Grey's decision to assist these witches appears to be his desire of choice. Mr. Grey finds it fascinating to observe the witches' decision-making process. Loves it most when it's not simply one side looking to gain power at all costs or always choosing the path that is morally good.

Favorites are those who frequently choose a morally upright road with a small amount of corruption or a path of power. He likes it when something big, terrifying, or uncontrollable happens to the Witch. When the Witch abandon their moral standards or find a reason to pursue stronger and more deadlier powers. When this occurs, Mr. Grey finds it to be very enjoyable. He simply enjoyed watching the Witch struggle with the two options he has presented. He finds such joy in watching them struggle with this decision and justify it to themselves. Mr. Grey does offer his own perspective on both options, to make the witch agonize over the choice even more, just for his enjoyment.
