Grissan the Blacksmith

Grissan the Blacksmith is Lairth’s father (his “da”). Grissan is not Lairth’s biological father, but he has taken him in and loves him as if he were his own blood. He lives in, and is the blacksmith for, the village of Frittan.

Grissan had been a member of the Aerl’s Draguneer Corps in his early years. It is where he learned the blacksmithing trade. However, contrary to what most of his friends in Frittan think, he was not actually a formal blacksmith apprentice, he simply picked it up by watching the unit blacksmiths work. He was actually a highly trained Draguneer.

He had been tapped to become a Bleak Rider, but declined which meant his expulsion from the Draguneers.

He developed a deep hatred for the violence and evil of the Aerl when he served in the Corps.
