Grel was not always cinders. Many centuries ago, he was but a humble mage-priest of the Cult of the Eternal Flame, a group which worshipped and practiced the magics of the immortal Phoenix. In a moment of weakness and lust for the power of immortality, Grel stole the prized possession enshrined in the small temple he lived in, the Plume of Phoenix. He feared no punishment, for surely, he thought, he could bear any discipline with the immortality the Plume gave him. Unfortunately, he was correct. Now he walks the world, maddened over the centuries spent in constant agony as his body relentlessly regenerates while it is burned by the flames of the inextinguishable Plume. Now he only seeks to share that flame with all he meets.
