Gregory Dask

CanonOfficial lore from the booksMCp. 12, 72

Gregory Dask is a renowned mercenary who severed his ties with his former organisation, the Brine Blades, and now works as a freelancer.1

Career

Before he joined the Brine Blades, Gregory had made his name as a skilled hired sword in the service of the nobles of West Reach. After a decade with the nobility he became a member of the Brine Blades, and during his time with them he achieved many heroic feats and refined his fighting style. Isabeau Blackthorn, however, disliked him from the outset, and their persistent disagreements led to his expulsion from the guild.2

Unfazed by the parting, Gregory still receives many job offers. He has found a sense of freedom in solitude and now prefers to work alone. He favours naval missions, and he will not take any mission that the Brine Blades are after.2

Fighting style

Gregory's main weapons are handaxes, which he throws with impeccable aim at distant targets. Robust and agile, he switches to a battleaxe in close combat. Against large monsters he aims his handaxes at the creature's joints to cripple it, and when facing overwhelming numbers he takes up his battleaxe and goes after the ranged fighters in the enemy ranks.2
