Maximillian Greil of Crying Heavens, Neverwinter
Like this sword without a cloud
Like this blade pure and true
I'm a swordsman, strong of heart
There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Light.
Balthazar bless my strength
Teach my hands to war
And my fingers to fight.
Grant me the power to protect those that are most important to me.

Biography
Little is known about Maximillian Greil, other then his as arrogant as the day is long. It's very clear that his drives and motives are simple. Power, and lots of it. Upon entering the shire of Crying Heavens, it took almost no time to see what he had to do. He took very little time in pledging his soul to his new master Mortis. Through Mortis he has learned much in the way of the power that lay dormant in the darkness. The more time he spends fighting for his new master, the stronger he feels himself become. For the time being this arrangement seems to serve his purposes. However, it is unclear how strong his allegiances are, or what would happen if someone more powerful then his current master was to enter the plot.
For the time being, he is Mortis devout follower. So enemies of Mortis beware, for if you happen to cross his path, you will be chopped to pieces before you even realize it happened.
His long lost brother Marcus Greil has followed him into the shire seeking to speak with him about current events, and ask why Maximillian slew his former instructor the wizard Menalag. Maximillian has yet to decide what path he will take.
Update March 01
Maximillian Greil has helped do the unspeakable. Aiding his master in sacrificing an innocent, a defenseless child. His soul is still bound to Mortis, he has little choice in the matter. However this ritual has increased his control over the power of darkness. It serves his purposes of gaining more power. However Maximillian feels a slight sense of remorse for what he did. Perhaps the ends did not justify the means
Update March 08
He was chosen by the blade...
"I am called Faranuhr, The First Blade. You have been chosen to wield me in battle. I shall fight at your side, and I shall fight for whomever you call master. However, only you may chose which form I take, only your soul may command me. Should you be a master of the darkness, I shall sever the very light in twine. Should your master be the light, no evil may touch my blade. The path you take is yours alone."
Update March 15
Today Maximillian suffered his first real defeat at the hands of the church. The church of Azurea brought down an angel to aid them in battle. The quickly split apart our forces and were able to cleanse one of our soldiers from the dark taint of evil that Master Mortis cursed him with. Furthermore, they left Andronious in an extreme state of confusion. Lastly, the enemy escaped after doing what they set out to do. Light has been spread a little further into a shire.
Update April 06
Today, a great thing has happened. Maximillian was reunited with his brother, and with the aid of Grog Alestorm, his soul was freed from it's ties to Mortis, through the use of a unicorn horn. With his eyes opened and his soul free, he could now see the error of Mortis' ways. He and his brother gathered together what they could and headed out alone after the battle. He could see that Mortis simply treated everyone as pawns in his great game. He will no longer be a part of the dark wizard's scheme. He now seeks allies to fight against the darkness as his ancestors once did.
Update April 19
Andronious faced Lorrymil in the ring of honor. Though much interference was had, the battle ended in a draw. Andronious slew Lorrymil with a shurken, then Lorrymil slew Andronious. Finally Andronious seemed to be winning the third bout, he poisoned Lorrymil, and after interference by two individuals, Lorrymil slew Andronious, only to be killed by poison a few short moments later. Regardless of the outcome the end result was the same. Nothing was accomplished.
