Nicholas Greydon

Greydon is a human 5 foot 10 inches in height about 28 years of age has light
brown hair and blue gray eyes. He wears gray robes with white skulls
embroidered on the edges around his neck he wears a medallion that depicts a
skeletal hand clutching a coin that has a skull on the face with stylized
sunrays flowing from the edges of the coin. He wears mages spell component
bags and a plain dagger he has a spare dagger in his boot

Nicholas was born on the plain known to the native of the Prime Material as
the Plain of Concordant Opposition, which is known to its natives as the
Outlands. He is the son of Gary and Melinda Greydon. Gary is a very rich
member of the Merkant sect that believes money to al powerful and its
collection the true purpose for life. His mother Melinda is a member of the
Fated who believe that making something your gives you the right to have it
the two have a happy marriage Nick has 1 sibling a brother named Jeremy who is
a devoted Merkant himself

Nicholas Greydon had it all money political pull a beautiful fiance Linda and
was born first so sure to inherit his fathers vast fortune and position with
the Merkants. That all came to an end when Linda came down with a terrible
magical illness. Nicholas spared no expense hiring the very best clerics and
mages to care for his beloved but to no avail the illness quickly consumed the
girl killing her every time she was raised to life the terrible illness came
back stronger slaying her once more. Realizing his efforts to hold on to her
were causing only pain to Linda he had the mages and clerics stop their
efforts

For about 2 years Nicholas wandered the plains disillusioned his money came to
nothing in saving his love his belief in it was shattered. He spoke to the
faction philosophers looking for something new to believe for a short time he
studied with the Bleak Cabal but he did not stay with them for he felt there
had to be a higher reason for his loves death. Finally he found the Dustmen
and he came to be a student of death. He invested most of his fortune in a
very large mausoleum for Linda where she lays preserved by oils of
timelessness in a glass coffin where Nick studied death both philosophically
and via the power of Necromantic magic's

Nicholas sought to fully understand the true meaning of death and undeath Life
and Unlife and where stood the line between one and the other. He is not evil
in fact he often volunteer his time working with the terminally ill easing
there last days and often has he gleaned insight in the that which lies beyond
from those on the edge of death. He also freely distributes all knowledge he
comes across in the way of cures and medicines in remembrance of Linda

Nicholas' family disowned him making his brother Jeremy the heir to the family
money. Nicholas then changed his family crest, which depicted a hand clutching
a coin with the face symbol of the Fated in to a skeletal hand clutching a
skull-faced coin. Representing Nicolas' belief that death is more powerful
then money.  Nicholas traveled the planes learning all he could of death.
Latter he realized since most of the petionars who live on the plane come from
the Prime and the gods draw most of there power from the believers that
worship them on the Prime the Prime might well conceal with in it some of the
knowledge he seeks

Nicholas came to travel on the Prime learning of spelljamming he was intrigued
by the Flow and the Ephemeral sprits that form there. The flow being cut off
from the plain he feels these restless sprits may understand more of life and
death with out the influence of the alignment bound plains
Nick is fairly wealthy but raised to hoard his resources. He often hires on to
a ship that is traveling through the flow rather then pay for passage. He will
however hire a ship when he needs to undertake special tasks usually either to
do research or seek some wise man or sage who might hold knowledge Nicholas
feel he needs

Nick might be found serving as a helmsman on a ship, in the employ of someone
who needs the service of a necromancer (undead crews do not eat sleep breath
or require pay) or he might be found as an employer on one of his trips to
exotic locales to conduct strange experiment or just to find a enlighten sage.
