He does not possess the typical capacity to inspire courage in others but instead his holy aura inspires fear in his enemies. </li><li><em>Dual Wielding</em> - As a Paladin Grimaldus has been trained to use most traditional weapons. His specialty is dual-wielding swords.</li><li><em>Athletics</em> - Even by the standards of 'professional' adventurers, Grimaldus is in exceptional physical condition</li><li><em>Survival</em> - Grimaldus spent many years living out of a forest &amp; over mountains and is very comfortable operating &amp; navigating such places.</li><li><em>Lay on Hands</em> - Though he is not the traditional 'defensive' Paladin, Grimaldus still possesses some capacity to heal through divine magic.</li></ul><hr/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>None So Fierce</em> - Grimaldus aspires to be a valiant and noble holy knight. This does not come naturally to him. In truth Grimaldus is violent and prone to outbursts of rage.

One needs to only witness his the ferocity of Grimaldus Rex once to understand and it is rarely forgotten.</li><li><em>Stoic</em> - Grimaldus is a man of emotional extremes though he keeps it under control when possible.

The Paladin developed a capacity of stoicism to assist in controlling his aggressive tendencies. </li><li><em>Honourable</em> - Make no mistake about it, Grimaldus might be a particularly aggressive breed of Paladin but he is still very much a holy &amp; oathsworn warrior. He does not lie and his word is absolute. His Oaths might lean more towards the 'fight evil' part over 'defend the weak &amp; innocent' but he will mostly certainly put his life on the line to defend those who cannot defend themselves, quite gladly.</li><li><em>Pragmatic</em> - Grimaldus has little interest in how a situation should be or in theory, he has a strong preference for the reality of a situation before him.</li></ul><br/><hr/><strong>History:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Grimalus was born to nobility, a family of 'Marcher lords' to be precise.

Little did he realize one among the crowd was not as appeared. Concealed in the mob eager for blood was the Morrígan, a Goddess ancient by the standards of even the Gods. She claimed his near lifeless form and brought him to her domain where he was reborn as Paladin.</li><li>To the Morrígan Grimaldus swore an '<em>Oath of Conquest</em>,' vowing to take the fight to evil and instill in them the fear they put in others, to crush the wicked absolutely and scatter their ashes to the wind.</li><li>For the last thirteen years Grimaldus has been pursuing his oath, empowered by the Phantom Queen, and earning a reputation for ruthlessly destroying evil wherever it is found.</li></ul><br/><br/><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>To be determined</em></li><li><em>To be determined</em></li><li><em>To be determined</em></li><li><em>To be determined</em></li></ul><br/><hr/><strong>Additional Details</strong><br/><em>Oath of Conquest Paladins</em>- 'The Oath of Conquest calls to paladins who seek glory in battle and the subjugation of their enemies.
