Grom Cragheart "The Mountain"

Grom Cragheart is a Distinguished and legendary hero and former member of the heroes of yore, currently he is working as an "advisor" for the upstart Swords of Altex mercenary company. Not much is known about Grom's upbriging. He was born somewhere in the southern Crownlander mountain range to unknown parents. In the year 6501 Grom listed into the Crownland military at the age of 7, despite his age he is said to have been built "to the degree where he mountained over many of the older recruits" This fact gave him the nickname "The mountain". He is said to have performed exceptionally well in physical training, but was performing under the national average in mental tests. Despite this Grom graduated from the military training and was drafted into the army. During his time in the army Grom was recorded by the other soldiers to be "A gentle giant that wasn't fit to kill a fly, though he could very well take down an elephant if he tried." In 6512 Grom saw his first taste of combat against a local Beastman raid. During this battle Grom engaged in one on one combat with a mercenary fighting for the Beastmen by the name of John Picket (a.k.a Vuk). Grom and John are reported to have "Both realized that they didn't really want to kill eachother" and so they instead finished the battle fighting other soldiers. After the battle they are said to have encountered eachother again at a bar where Vuk discussed the idea of heading to the frontier and becoming an adventurer. Grom after learning of the frontier from that conversation decided to accompany Vuk, declaring Vuk as his "Best buddy forever!". This began Grom's career as a professional adventurer, through his years Grom would earn much fame and glory along with his other companions who formed The heroes of Yore. His most legendary achievement being in the battle against the Crimson Prince, in which Grom is said to have protected all of the parties other members with his great will and a heart of gold. Shortly afterwards Grom retired from his adventuring days, becoming an istructor and advisor for the Swords of Altex Mercenary company. Though he is said to still see some action to this day.
