A powerfully build young man with a ruggedly handsome face blond hair
and piercing blue eyes. He moves with quiet confidence and grace that
belies his large frame. Something about the man draws attention and
inspires respect.
When the storm is with him, his eyes crackle with lightning and his
voice rolls and echoes like thunder.
Sir Gregory Oakheart was born the child of a Knight and Druidess during
the time of King Arthur. Raised to be a Knight like his father and
tempered with his mothers love of life and nature. Soon after he was
Knighted the reign of Arthur ended in darkness.
During the early years of the fight with Mordred, Gregory's father was
killed in battle. Seeing that the tide was turning in favor of the forces
of evil, Gregory asked his mother and her people for guidance. They told
him of an ancient sword and armor that could give their possessor the
power of the mightiest storms.
Gregory quested for a year and a day for the fabled armor before
finding them and proving his worth. While fighting his way back to his
mother's people, he was mortally wounded despite his powerful armor. In
desperation his mother and several other druids, engaged in a ritual to
use the power of the armor to heal Gregory.
As his death approached Gregory heard a musical voice asking him
"Will you serve the light?".
To which Gregory responded "Now and forever, with all my heart and
might."
"Then dear Gregory, the storm is yours." And with that
statement the ancient magics of both sword and armor flooded into
Gregory's body, healing it completely. From that day forth, the Armor and
Sword of Storms were no more. Instead Gregory existed in the center of the
eternal storm and used its power to fight for good.
Several years past and Gregory lead his men to victory after victory
against the powers of darkness. Finally the forces of evil succeeded at a
plot to neutralize the Knight of Storms. Gregory was ambushed by evil
sorcerer and flung into the void between worlds.
Time lost all meaning to Gregory as the centuries past, only the voice
of the storm and his father's and mothers teaching helped him keep his
sanity. After what seemed like an eternity, something passed through the
void opening the way for Gregory. Stumbling out of the void the
Stormknight met Spellbinder.
For her rescue, Gregory vowed to help Spellbinder return home. The
journey to her home was a quest in itself, but now he finds himself in a
world gone mad. These folks of this world are besieged by evil and have
forgotten the code. As the most knowledgeable know, it is best to lead by
example so the Knight of Storms (or Stormknight as their slang speaks it)
will sally forth again to do battle with the darkness...
A Knight is sworn to valor.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked.
