==Biography== | ==Biography== | ||
Grenseal served as both an officer in the [[Imperial Army]] as well as a subordinate of [[Teo McDohl]]. His skill with a sword and prowess with the [[Thunder Rune]] earned him the nickname "Lightning General." He had a cool personality, remaining perpetually calm and had a good-natured rivalry with his fellow subordinate, [[Alen]]. Grenseal's loyalty was to Teo, rather than to the [[Scarlet Moon Empire|Empire]] itself. | |||
===Childhood and Training=== | |||
Grenseal, much like Alen, was first inspired to join the [[Imperial Army]] at the age of 12 when he was brought to [[Gregminster]] to see a victory parade for General Teo McDohl. His parents initially resisted, but his efforts eventually paid off and he was enrolled into the [[Imperial Academy]]. | |||
Within six months, Grenseal was recognized as one of the more promising students at the academy. Although his swordsmanship was considered unremarkable, he was fairly proficient with the [[Lightning Rune]], and was well liked by his superiors for his studious nature, often seen studying or reading in his spare time. | |||
He was considered cold and standoffish by other trainees though was rarely unpleasant. His attempts at advice often came off as criticism, and soon he was viewed by Alen as a potential rival for an appointment to the Central Army. An argument between the two would provoke Grenseal into improving his swordsmanship as well as his mind, and in the 4th round of a training tournament, Alen would be soundly defeated by Grenseal's more methodical fighting style. | |||
Grenseal | Alen would attempted to rematch Grenseal later that night, only for the two to come to the understanding that they had both been driving the other forward the entire time. More appreciative of each other, the two vowed to do all they could to both graduate to the Central Army, a goal they eventually reached. | ||
===Gate Rune War=== | |||
{{quote| I sacrifice this life to the Empire and to Master Teo. | Grenseal}} | |||
During the [[Gate Rune War]], Grenseal accompanied Teo during his campaign against the [[Toran Liberation Army]]. Grenseal was present at the first battle between the [[Armored Cavalry]] and the Toran Liberation Army, and, following the latter's withdraw, Grenseal was ordered to follow and crush them. After losing a duel to [[Pahn]], an officer of the Toran Liberation Army, Teo changed his orders, telling Grenseal and Alen to withdraw. Though Alen was hesitant to do so, Grenseal did not hesitate to follow Teo's orders. | During the [[Gate Rune War]], Grenseal accompanied Teo during his campaign against the [[Toran Liberation Army]].
