Garrett Grimm

Garrett Grimm is the current Lord of Greyshield, born to the Lord Garth Grimm and Lady Delena Cuy. He married his wife, Serina Serry, to bring the two isles of Southshield and Greyshield closer together, with her giving him his three children, Ganton, Garla and Gyles.

Appearance and Character
Garrett was once, in his youth, a reasonably handsome fellow, with sharp grey eyes and long flowing hair. As he grew older however, he became fatter, his skin became redder and ever oilier and his hair began to recede. His only feature still present is his grey eyes, as sharp as they had been as a babe.

The Lord Grimm is known to his friends as a jolly and gregarious man, one who would never turn down a drink. To his wife, he is a foolish oath, lacking all forms of manners. However, Garrett is more than just a common drunkard. A deceitful, traditional and scheming nature hides behind his softer persona.

Truly a Shield Islander at heart, Garrett holds open contempt towards foreign traders, such as those from the Free Cities. His father ensured he knew about the Seven Gods, and instilled a sense of zealousness within his son.

Garrett has a rough but kind sounding voice, with an almost fatherly nature to him.

History
Born in 391 AC, Garrett was but a babe during the Great Famine. The Lord Garth at the time concerned for his heirs health, stockpiled food at Grimston, turning much of the smallfolk against them for a time. Piracy was not uncommon during this time, with Garrett's uncle being killed by such pirates. Later in his childhood, Garrett went with his father to Oakenshield, with Garrett becoming good friends with Desmond Hewett, with both of them corresponding regularly.

A teenager during the Scarlet Winter, Garrett learned what secrets could do for you, after managing to take a merchants wares by threatening to exploit his multiple affairs to his wife. He continued to employ this tactic even after the winter was over, hiring several spies to help him with gathering secrets.

He became the Lord Garrett Grimm of Greyshield when his father died one day after falling down the stairs, breaking several bones and due to his advanced age, he was unable to recover. As soon as he became Lord, Garrett pledged his loyalty to the Lord Desmond Hewett, his childhood friend. Soon afterwords, he arranged his own marriage to the Lady Serina Serry, intending to strengthen his ties to his fellow Shield Islanders.

As the High Septon spoke out against the spread of R'hllor in Westeros, Lord Garrett issued forth a decree that those not of the Faith of the Seven were not allowed to leave the harbour of Grimsport, himself fearing that they would cause chaos should they be left to their own devices in his island.
