Personality

Sir. David Grayson is a cold, calculating and ambitious man. Despite that (or because of that), he dons the mask of friendliness, false extroversion, impeccable manners, goodwill and cheer. While having significant narcissistic tendencies, the rather handsome and always prim and proper lord attempts to charm through subtle controlled arrogance and a cynical sense of humor that favors sarcasm. The Lord actively attempts to speak with perfect diction and intonation in all circumstances. He despises being called Alimus.

The true Grayson works within a warped system of ethics, using reason and empathy as tools to also further warp (under the nudge of shadow magic) the value system of himself and those around him. While able to fake tolerance, Sir Alimus Grayson has little patience for anyone lacking his brand of ambition. He has close to no respect for the uneducated – and thus sees the alignment of Silvermoon (which he considers a superior civilization to that of humans in a few ways) with the all-too-savage Horde as an incomprehensible crime.

An intellectual at heart, David values knowledge, wit and rationality, believing that having ambition and power should be a naturally resulting consequence of holding those qualities. He believes in the ideal of achieving potential, of maximizing human achievement. This credo is strong enough that it is his goal for those around him and for the civilization around him. He desires that society advances at any cost, that all should seek and reach excellence or serve those that do.

History

With House Grayson being lower nobility intelligentsia constantly involved in academic endeavors, the members of the family have always held stations to do with diplomacy, education and holding high advisory roles. Grayson has followed the path of his “caste”, having worked as a diplomat, legal councilor and even tutor for Stormwind's selected youth. However, after thirty years almost exclusively dedicated to intellectual growth and pursuits of the mind, David seeks to skew the house's line and be more of a “public player” in political life. In terms of becoming involved in public political life, he has his sights set on Stormwind, Goldenshire or “Grand Hamlet”, as he calls it.

Throughout his scholarly youth, Grayson has become familiar with literature, the magical and non-magical arts, politology, theology and law. He finds the religious concept of the Forgotten Shadow as an adequate religious representation of his beliefs, though is also a masterful in orrating and channeling the Shadow's naive yet righteous sibling - the Light.

Around the age of 26, after attaining all of the more easily obtainable degrees of the Stormwind Academy, Grayson followed a natural path into the clerical castes that he found more capable of understanding subtle nuance than the academics of arcane.

The old Lord Grayson, David's father, has recently officially retreated into focusing on his extensive writing and research and put David in charge of the House assets. While these are extensive enough to offer a lavish lifestyle, they are not sufficient to sustain a strong entrance into politics. Alimus is occasionally assisted by his talented warlock sister - Lady Talona of Grayson, even if only because he holds control over the House's assets.
