Gregorian is a member of the House of Mythos. He is a legitimate successor to the two royals before him, his grandfather Mythos and his father Abraxas, who both ruled the late Empire of Ibladesh in their own time. Gregorian was very young when the Empire started to crumble, and, during a small skirmish with Perdan, he was captured and exiled to Beluaterra. Later, when Gregorian heard about the death of his father and the destruction of Ibladesh he has sworn to one day return to his homeland, and seek vengeance on the killers of his beloved ones by destroying Caligus and Perdan. When Abraxas died Gregorian became the last living member of the House of Mythos. Gregorian has a long black hair and small black mustache, which, accompanied by only one dark eye, sinisterly decorate his face. He lost his left eye while tortured by Daimons during the fifth invasion of Beluaterra. He is particularly skilled in swordsmanship and is fiercely wielding his broadsword Atlanteus in melee. He is exceptionally tall man who is reportedly quite handsome. His whole appearance is quite appealing and somewhat mysterious. The claims listed are supported by the Arrakis family and Gregorian is in their eyes a rightful claimant: the right to restore the Empire of Ibladesh, city of Xavax, city of Aix, city of Fwuvoghor.

Exile

During the reign of his father and at the height of the Caligo-Perdanese war Gregorian started his service in Ibladesh. As a Prince of Ibladesh he enjoyed good reputation and possibilities which allowed him to learn from the best. These included the finest academies, tutors and philosophers that the White City could offer. Gregorian fought many battles under the Ibladeshi banner, however, due to his own heedlessness he was one day captured by the Perdanese patrols after which he was exiled to the distant lands of Beluaterra. Upon his arrival to these wild lands Gregorian sought refuge in Riombara where the House of Asterion had many successes in the past. Beluaterra was amidst the 5th Daimonic invasion and Riombara was put under heavy siege by the Netherworldian abominations. Those battles against Overlord and his cohorts tested Gregorian's skills and strengthened his heart so much that he was never afraid of any humans again. In time he was elected to govern the Viscountcy of Melegra and was admitted to the Riombaran Military Council. At that time Gregorian heard about the death of his father and fall of Ibladesh, which enraged his young mind. On that day Gregorian swore an undying oath to one day return to his homeland and avenge his father. His hatred for Caligus and Perdan grew immensely, and became the leading motive in his thoughts. Riombara fought bravely but the otherworldly legions pushed further and further. As the time of Man started to fade on Beluaterra, Gregorian found himself battling for his own life. Surrounded by legions of Overlord and the oath of vengeance for his father's death still unfulfilled, destiny had tested Gregorian like no other member of the Arrakis family.

Quest for Fwuvoghor

In the spring of that same year Gregorian was chosen by the nobles of Riombara to rule as the new Lord of Fwuvoghor. An honor well received among the Elders of the family. But due to bad luck, or some would claim a twist of fate, Hvrek Psyche, who was the current High Chancellor at that time, went mad. After collaborating with Daimons Hvrek was greatly protested by Riombaran nobility. Seeing his political doom pending, Hvrek decided to commit treason. He barricaded himself in Fwuvoghor and proclaimed himself as the next Lord. This enraged the nobles and especially Gregorian who is very temperate by nature, after which they protested him out of his office. Hvrek, ill-minded and delirious, seceded the Duchy of Fwuvoghor and Riombara went to war against him. On that same month Gregorian ran unopposed to become the new High Constable of Riombara and at the helm of the armies he led them to challenge Hvrek. But now there was an obstacle on his path of vengeance as the mighty Overlord and his cohorts seized Melegra in their attempt to blight Fwuvoghor. On that day Gregorian took the armies of Riombara across the fields of Melegra and routed Overlord's armies in most epic battle which lasted the entire day. But amidst the victory stood a defeat as Ovelord turned to magic and sorcery to defeat the Riombarans. Few days later, Fwuvoghor was lost in eternal darkness as the Blight swallowed the city.

Siege of Grehk

The Daimon onslaught continued. The things in the Blight became alive and at the behest of the Ovelord ferocious beasts were unleashed from the Blight. The infamous Horrors of the Netherworld overrun Beluaterra, and in the south they were lead by one of Overlord's lieutenants, called Midnight of the South. At one unfortunate occasion Gregorian was captured by the Daimons and Grehk was simultaneously invaded by a host of Horrors, who easily broke the city defenses and put the ancient Riombaran city under siege. Gregorian barely survived the horrid torture performed by Overlord himself, and was mutilated in the process as the dark one ripped out his left eye. But with the mercy of the gods he escaped, and was free again. Upon his return from the dungeons he swore vengeance on the Daimons, which only deepened his long list of retribution.

As the man dressed in rags climbed the hill in the vicinity of Grehk, his heart stopped at the sight before him. In the distance, Grehk was burning bright with the fires of the Netherworld and gigantic demons could be seen flying over the capital of Riombara. Grehk was breached and the people were being slaughtered mercilessly. Shields and banners of Riombaran armed forces were scattered on the field in front the main entry gate. The defenders appeared to be routed, and he could only imagine that the small cloud of dirt hovering in the sky further south towards Ardmore was where they regrouped. Gregorian shakes his head. He remembers last night and the horrible screams he heard from the Netherworld dungeons. Last thing he remembered were screams from another prisoner, who was apparently from Fronen, screaming his lungs out trying to find out what fate had befallen Vur Hagin. After that, Gregorian remembered being taken away into the torture chambers, where he was pierced, slashed and drained off his blood. A horrible torture culminated when a beasts, which he assumed was Overlord himself, ripped out his left eye. He barely survived. But then the gods smiled upon him. There was no way he would survive another torture, so last night, after he was returned to his cell, Gregorian started to dig like there was no tomorrow. And truly, there wouldn't be. He dug with his hands, his feet and his teeth until such a time when he felt a small stream flowing beneath him. With even more zeal he pushed forward, until he finally could see an underground cave and a small river running there. Devoid of strength he tossed himself into it, and today emerged somewhere west of Grehk. And now he stood free again, but with a terrible sight in front of him, and a whole bag of debts to collect. He remembers his dead father, slain in the siege of Ibladesh, and the debt he had to revenge his death and the death of his people. One day he will return...one day. But now there was much more to do. As wrath fills his entire being Gregorian screams his lungs out and puts a great curse on the Daimons, and vows another revenge on his path of destruction. This one for his left eye.
