Description: Grim is very tall, near that of a male Night Elf and has broad shoulders. His face and overall appearance is rough and perhaps a bit barbaric. But looking into his deep brown eyes, one can see a genuine kindness, and what seems to be a deep sorrow. His beard is braided into three small braids, and he also has a few long braids in his long blond hair. He carries an old Colonel Badge of the Argent Crusade on his tabard, as well as a new Private badge of the Stormwind Regiment. He speaks with a polite tone, and overall seems to show mannerism.
Personality: Grim is a rather calm person usually. But his history has given him very deep scars, where turmoil was already in place. While Grim is usually very kind, caring and actually rather sweet - he does have some anger management issues. If something doesn't go his way, he will quickly become annoyed and tense and might late have an outburst or turn to alcohol. If someone hurts or threatens the one he loves the most, Grim will snap and usually instantly. He will simply lose all sense of control and discipline.
History: As a boy, Grim had helped his father until the day he could himself decide what he wished to do. At a very young age, Grim married his now deceased wife, Anna. They spawned one son, Brad. Grim was mere 18 years of age at this time. But as soon as Brad was born, Grim would take every opportunity possible to get away from their home and instead fight what battled he could. He joined Arthas forces to Northrend and remained there for the years to come. Grim was a strong, already experienced man once the final war with the Lich King began, and he quickly signed up with the Argent Crusade. His determination and the fact he was always around (avoiding his home), he quickly got the rank of Colonel over his own brigade. They were mostly stationed on the open fields, battling off scourge when Tirion and his heroes took the battle to Arthas.

Once the Lich King was defeated, Grim was given a week off to go home and gather some strength before his next mission was to begin. Even though he didn't want to, he was forced to head back home. But the house had been completely destroyed, only black, carbonized wood-frames remained. He found the remains of his wife, her head cut off from its body. But he would never find any sign of his son. He spent his week, looking, searching for Brad, but found nothing and eventually had to give up. After taking some more time off due to the tragedy, he once more joined with his brigade and spent the coming years clearing out remnants of the scourge here and there in Northrend. Eventually he was released from duty until further notice, and he decided to move to Stormwind and start anew there - trying to flee his darkness.
