“I'm Grim Mortbane. Though trouble may follow me, I overcome it with dignity. The Pale Tree awakened me during the Cycle of Night, and the most important of Ventari's teachings is: "All things have a right to grow." While in my Dream, I dreamed of the Green Knight, and I'm called to find him. I'm an expert at subtlety and intrigue. A drawn hood lets me blend into the crowd. This is my story.

About Grim[edit]
Created August 25, 2012
Grim has reached 400 in Chef and Jeweler. His weapons of choice: two Peacemaker's pistols. While he still wears his Anonymity Hood, the rest of his armor has gone through major changes over the last year, settling finally on Fused Gauntlets and Magitech for the rest. Fortunate enough to reveal Abyss dye from his very first dye pack, Grim has worn this color since day one. He recently acquired Althea's Ashes as his first infused item. He has recently acquired the Third-Place Medal also. Currently, Grim is exploring Tyria and gathering a party to defeat Zhaitan once and for all. His guild, Grim Wardens [GrWs] is comprised of his very closest friends, but he can most often be seen travelings with an Asura engineer named Alcix.
Grim Mortbane is my main. He is named for my GW1 dervish, created October 28, 2006. The original Grim was the subject of artwork and fan fiction in the years between Nightfall and GW2. The official story is that Grim adopted an orphaned charr cub who he named Roan. Roan grew up quickly among humans and joined a warband of charr with similar backgrounds. Eventually, the descendants made their way back into traditional charr society. Grim never had children of his own, but his stories echoed through Tyria for many years, even into The Dream. That's where our young sylvari first learned the name Grim Mortbane. He took up the name and legacy upon awakening. Meanwhile, the Mortbane name still exists within small warbands, and dwindling norn and human bloodlines via other members of the Mortbane family. Though only four sylvari carry the surname, they are the most likely to wear it into the world to fight the risen horde.
I chose Durmand Priory for Grim over Order of Whispers, because I feel that as a thief he was never interested in treasure and secrets, but in getting at old lore and artifacts that are difficult to obtain. Knowledge isn't something to be tucked away from the world in memory. It's something to be gathered and studied, really appreciated. The value of a historical object is not in the price, but in the story it tells.
