BIOGRAPHY

Grundle began life on the harsh colony world of Vlagorix IV as one of millions of low-born menials known as Vlags. Born into the obscure Grips bloodline, he is the son of Zed Gripsson.

Upon reaching adolescence at the age of four years old, he was pressed into the employ of Dukunk Heavy Plant like his family before him. By adulthood at six he was adept at operating many large machines leading to a career as a rock hauler driver at Quality Underground Iron Mining, a career he supplemented with income from his band ‘Trullhammer,’ in which he performed under the alias of Bumfister.

The new found power would lead the band to Gydunia where Grundle sought the help of the Blurdskrerm priests, who sent Grundle to train so that he could harness what lay within.

BIOGRAPHY

Armed with new strength and an understanding of what he was required to do, he decided to return to the mine where he had toiled so that he could show the workers that change was possible and necessary. After successfully convincing the workers to rise up against their abusers, Grundle felt ready to close that chapter of his life and join Gaius Black in his work to change the Celestial Sea forever…
