Biography
Early Years
Galen Grimwrath was born in Ancient Maar Sul and knew he wanted to be a paladin from a very early age. He practiced daily from childhood until his death. He was accounted a fair hand with a sword, and an adept of holy magic.
His participation in the War of the Andain was largely due to a desire to protect Amaranth, who he viewed as a protegé. His impact on the battlefield was minimal--less so even than his lesser known squire, Hob.
Death
Galen served as a captain under Taliesin after the War of the Andain, trying to help restore order to a war-torn world. He was wounded in action during a raid ordered personally by Taliesin himself. He died in the arms of his squire, Hob, who swore vengeance against Taliesin.
Legacy
A memory of Galen helped Khasra III fight against the shade of Hob in the shadow of Xar Daeon during the Second Battle of Vulpengaard Keep.
Appearance
Although his hair had more than a touch of gray in it, Galen never showed his age in any other way. He continued to be active and physically fit until his death.
Personality and Traits
