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[]
Life for Galen was all about the Way of the Paladin and protecting his friends and protegé. He was very straight-laced and never allowed himself to succumb to vices.
Powers and Abilities[]
Galen differed from your average paladin only in that he was better with holy magic and not as good with a sword.

Hob[]
