Grimblethorpe Gunderstone Glitterward hails from Silverymoon, a graduate of the School of Thaumaturgy. He is a lover of practical jokes, and studies cursed items with hopes to use them in some non-lethal way on unsuspecting victims. An excellent student of magic, he graduated with top honors from the school. He is the oldest graduate to date, at 190 years old.

He spent the early part of his life as a translator, master librarian, and scribe for many of Silverymoon’s most respected wizards. He assimilated information very quickly, which led to him growing bored with his current station. So he entered the School and upon graduating, set out to conduct magical research. In addition to the cursed items he collects, he also wishes to study the dead magic zones, in hopes of replicating their effect back home in some elaborate joke. Oh, the look on his friends’ faces when they can’t even make the simplest illusion work! It will be truly grand.

Currently, Grimblethorpe is seeking passage to Phlan to study the dead magic zone. Why not have some fun with whomever he can get to escort him? His most elaborate prank yet would be assuming the persona of The Grim, a mysterious wizard of Nimbral. He acquired some shimmery, silver robes with a deep hood. He fashioned some shiny silvery lenses to fit over his eyes, just in case someone catches a glimpse of them. He plays the part of the slightly arrogant know-it-all, thinking all other wizards below him. He won’t explain anything to those of lesser intellect, which is just about everyone (Int 21: +1 for gnome, +2 due to his venerable age). He speaks in vague mysteries, never revealing all of the details.

He is fluent in no less than 10 languages, able to read and write the ones most likely to have books of arcane lore to study. When meeting Darsun, he will have detected magic already cast. He will look at each magic item Darsun possesses, pause for a second, give a little hmph, then move on to the next item (to simulate the Nimbral wizard eyes). As The Grim, he only refers to himself in the third person.
