Most comfortable in the thick of battle, surrounded by enemies, shatter the guard of your foes and cleave them to pieces in a whirlwind of death.— Offical Site Description
Born for combat, Grendel is a Wayfinder described as an engine of destruction fueled by fury. Before the Gloomfall, he was an infamous warrior of the Maze, a mercenary by trade, a brutal veteran of a hundred battles, the ferocious muscle to match the ruthless cunning of his occasional Maze cohort Venomess. He's more vicious than anything spawned by the Gloom, but now he works alongside the Seekers of Skylight, at least for the time being.

Talents[edit]
Lore[edit]
Grendel is a soldier from the Maze — a demihuman with the blood of gorgers and wolves in his veins. Where Wingrave fights for justice and Senja fights for glory, Grendel fights to win and for the sheer joy of it. He’s capable and when you give him a job, he’ll get it done — but he loves when things get bloody. While Grendel’s favorite weapon is his great axe, he’s just as happy to tear his enemies apart with his bare hands.
