Godrick Greger
Godrick Greger is the elder son of the
Greger Family, older brother to
Gertrude and child of
Gladwin and
Gillian.
Godrick is a sadist and a cretin; he has always been enamored with the magical and macabre, and enjoys torturing animals and gladiators alike. He has never been much of a fighter or shared the charisma or shrewdness of his family, so he largely preoccupied himself with the beasts brought in to fight in the
grotto. As his desire to dabble in the arcane grew, he attempted over the years to learn the basics of magic; he, however, showed no natural talent. As he hoarded any possibly magical gear brought in by the newly enslaved, he slowly caught the attention of a coven of Sea Hags living in the shoals outside of the grotto. In exchange for objects that caught their attention, they offered him a scant amount of their power channeled through a hag's eye charm they crafted.
The magics of the hags charm slowly drove Godrick mad, driving him into further depravity. He was enamored with
Festan in particular, as he was convinced the dark elf, along with the enchanted blade he carried, would allow him to access greater magical power.
Physical Description
Godrick is pale and gaunt, and displays none of the athleticism of his family. He is often overcome by fits and shakes, manic episodes that manifest sometimes violently in his body. Under the strain of the Hags powers, he often appeared sweaty and greasy.
Mental characteristics
Godrick is relatively well read, or at least likes to think so. His world hasn't offered much in the way of a formal education, but he voraciously consumed whatever literature he could while living in the Grotto. It was this that sparked his interest in the arcane.
Though it doesn't resemble formal training, the Sea Hags outside of the grotto gave him access to a small portion of their shared powers.
Godrick has taken on the mantle of beast master of the gladiatorial ring of the grotto. He revels in torturing animals and driving them to fight to the death. He also dabbles in alchemy, and sells some of his potions and poisons on the side.
Personality Characteristics
Gain access to greater and greater fonts of magical power for himself.
Social
Godrick baffles his family, though he is intensely beloved by his father. His mother quietly detests him, a relationship that has always haunted and scarred Godrick. Once close to his sister, they have since grown distant and cold. He still hopes to rekindle their friendship, unaware that she wishes to see him dead.

History
The Greger siblings grew up close, but as they aged, their different dispositions and experiences in the criminal underground of their families world caused a rift. Where Gertrude is pragmatic and kind, Godrick is prone to flights of fancy and cruelty. Gertrude sought to leave the families criminal life, while Godrick reveled in the possibility to cause pain.
