    Default Grimhold: Castle of Grimark in Verona



    Main Char Gabriel Grimark
    Name- Gabriel Grimark

    Age: 34

    Appearance: 6'1

    Personality: Gabriel is known for his fiery manner. In his youth he had a tendency to act brashly and fight for little to no reason. As he got older he learned to temper his anger and channel it in the right direction. Since his youth he learned to fight and command men. He is jovial more often than not. He is a just ruler for Verona, but where he excels in personal interaction and on the battlefield, he gives up in fiscal prowess. Together with his brothers Michael and Raphael, they are fiercely loyal but do not trust the other lords they have met.

    Background: WIP

    Skills: 4 strength 4 command 2 piety

    Hold: Verona

    Signet Ring, Chain mail, Sword Crusader (pending, wish to make ax {like in pic} for Rp), Short Sword in scabbard, Crucifix ring, Leather Gauntlets

    A late night, a man arrives at the castle in Verona. The guard looks suspiciously at him, due to his copper mask.

    Let me in, I need to speak to the Count of Verona! It is of great importance!

    "A great many men need to speak with the Count." Said the guard. Hey calls to the guards over head and a few moments later a man emerges from the Castle. Upon casting a look on the man, Raphael smiles.

    "Take your mask off Pietro, if is indeed you behind there, then you have nothing to fear. I thought to consider you a friend after our efforts to find the emperor together."

    He take off his mask.

    You must excuse me sir, but it seem to have grown on me. Anyway, I need to see the count on behalf of my lord, Duke Cesare.

    Of course, follow me. as they walked into the castle and up to the second floor Raphael speaks a little.

    I should warn you my brother is in a foul mood, as I'm sure you could guess why. He is making preparations, for what I cannot say it is not my place. It seems we are destined to meet in only the worst of circumstances. Ah here we are. Without knocking Raphael opens the door. "Gabe we have company."

    Gabriel Grimarks looked up and nodded, "Welcome to Verona, Pietro."

    Pietro made a deep bow.

    Thank you for seeing me, Count Gabriel. You have probably heard of the new civil war here in Italy?

    "Of course I have heard. Otto is pissed because he feels like Cesare betrayed him and now hes throwing a damn fit. Excuse me for the lack of titles and formalities but I am more than upset." Gabriel replies. His words are on edge, every word he speaks the more angry he gets. He convinced himself that seeing the Pope was the right thing to do, but there were many others. How was he to know the right course?

    I want to stop this war before it gets ugly. I came to see you because you are the only neutral noble powerful enough to help me. We need to see the Pope immediately! And Cesare has made the desicion that if he becomes the king of italy he will declare Otto an enemy of the state.

    "I am already in preparations to see the pope. My question to you is, what if the Pope offers no support either way. Wouldnt it behoove the Church to abstain from supporting either party in this damnable civil war? Or worse, what is he declares for Otto? Will Cesare bend the knee? And what of the other nobles, have any of them cast there imperial vote yet? Hell what if I decide to hold a war in Northern Italy and let the south sort itself out?" Gabriel shouted furiously.

    Raphael stood quiet until this point, seeing his brother this upset has been scarce since they got older, but when it happened someone usually died. He moved to his brothers side and whispered something in his ear. When he stepped away Gabriel had seemingly calmed some.

    Pietro, has there been any word from the others?

    Not word. But there are rumors that Milan will soon be no more.

    Have no fear, I will not war in Northern Italy Pietro. We will ride before sunrise to speak with the Pope and ask for guidance. Then we will see where the fate of Italy lay. For now, get some rest and food. Gabriel said calmly. He was more relaxed now and calculating.
