Eryk Greytark

The birth of a nuter to House Greytark was most surprising. At first, they considered this child awkward and a freak, unable to manifest even the most basic of Ryusui powers. His own mother, accustomed to telepathic dialogue with her progeny, turned her back on this runt. It was Eryk's father, a historian, who recognised what Eryk was and his potential. Unable to be coerced or mind-read, and with a hound-like loyalty to his House, Eryk Greytark is the perfect agent. He, above all of his brothers and sisters, was trained hardest and longest. His parents saw to it personally, and kept him on a short leash (sometimes literally!) in order to cement his loyalty to them.

A training accident as a child blinded Eryk in his right eye.

Eryk may not have the Ryusui access to emotion and thought that his brothers and sisters do, but he is nonetheless a formidable trainer of beasts. His closest companions are a Squiddog called Sibelle and a Crabeagle called Garreaux.

Eryk Greytark dresses in drab browns and blacks, with a thick leather glove on his left hand and a blue hooded cloak. In battle he dons leather armour, a short sword and a hunters' bow.

Eryk's arrival in New Morvennan was nearly fatal. His ship, 'Wisdom's Key' was beset by sickness and storms for the entire trip. It was only with great fortune and the assistance of the other Lords that Eryk and his severely reduced crew ever made it to land.

Under the patronage of another Lord, Eryk settled in a seaside town.

Eryk lost his arm and the use of his legs in a battle with the Mooglai, but thanks to the grace and wisdom of the Targaarden, is even more able-bodied than before. Now, Lord Greytark's right arm is entirely composed of white woody vines. He is able to extend this limb to impressive lengths, and it has regenerative capabilities.

For weeks after he lost his legs, Eryk spent much of his time in his manse with his animals, seldom seeing visitors or administrating his town of Salvation. When he regained the use of his legs, he was even less involved, preferring to wander off with Sibelle and Garreaux into the wild, often returning to Salvation days or weeks later, with nothing much to say.

Salvation fell into stasis, the docks becoming crowded with angry ships.

Eventually, an envoy from the Queen came and snapped Greytark from his fugue. He tithed Salvation to the Royal Hyuu Stirling, and moved far inland, to Primarus, the town he now calls home.

Eryk Greytark is closest to two lords in particular, Lord O'sila and Lord Harmond, but has a deep respect for all of the noble houses.
