Gregory is the only living decedent of his branch of the Grayfallow family, being the son of Henry Grayfallow, half-brother to Emmanuel Grayfallow on their fathers side. The brothers lived seperate lives, and the families never reunited. As a child Gregory was taught to work on the farm with his father. Nobody in the village was prosperous, but the hard years were few and far between. Had life continued in this way, Gregory would likely have never visited Arx, growing up and in the course of time taking his fathers place. Then came the accident that changed the course of his life. When he was twelve he was thrown from a horse as he led it back into the stables on a stormy night. The horse was spooked and threw him. He spent many weeks recovering, and while his general health has not suffered, his back has, and can no longer bear the weight it once did. Of course, this made him fairly useless as a farmer, where long days of, no pun intended, back breaking labour are expected and endured. The Sereph of the village, a kindly woman by the name of Kayleigh, decided to take him on as an assistant and see what could be made of him. His intellect and determination stood him in good stead for this, and he learned quickly the ways of the Pantheon, beyond what every commoner knows. As time went on and Kayleigh fell into poor health, he took on the position of Sereph in the village, finding the position much to his liking, both in terms of the respect it was shown and giving comfort to the women in the village while their men were away. Gregory did however help the village as he could, leading them through troubled years, assisting where he could and keeping spirits strong with faith. So why is he in Arx? After the Triad of the Lost was found, he finds himself in need of training. He does not know what he should regarding them, and so has relinquished his position in order to head to the City and be taught what he lacks in order to serve the Pantheon better.

Gregory is a relatively tall and wiry man with shoulder length fine light brown hair that gets caught at the slightest wind and his steely blue eyes have an intensity to them that some can find initially off-putting. His smile is disarming, and he gives an aura of being refined and gentle, someone you could open up to and tell all your troubles. If you pay attention you can see that he puts a little of his weight on a walking aid as he walks, and that his posture is a little bent.

Gregory is a friendly and welcoming person, happy to hear your troubles and provide some comfort. Which is to say that he carefully pays attention to your body language, choses his words with care and guides you down a conversational path that ends up here he wants it to. This isn't to say that he is a manipulative bastard, but it does help him with talking people around to see things from other points of views, getting everyone on the same page, and generally making progress. He genuinely does care about people and want to aim for their betterment, it is just that sometimes, he thinks he knows better than them what they need.
