"I know my employers have no regard for my life, ergo I am usually sent to do the jobs they would reject in a heatbeat. I would complain... if it weren't well paying... and fun! Ha!"

— Graziks

Graziks is a Fallen mercenary "employed" by the House of Lions usually sent on missions his clients would refuse to partake in. Once an infamous member of a House of Gray kill squad, he would be imprisoned by the House of Lions following the Gray Wars before slowly gaining their trust and becoming a free, albeit exploited member of the Lions.

Biography

Early Life

"As I child, I liked fighting things... yeah, that's really where it ends."

— Graziks on his early life.

A Full 180

"As the Kell of my people, it is a part of my duty to anticipate anything. But hearing him overturning a riot (let alone in a drunken stupor!), was definitely something I never thought I'd be hearing in a million lifetimes."

— Joskaa after hearing of Graziks' involvement in quelling a riot

The Fall of Gray

"It was fun, y'know. Hunting down the last vestige of rebellious Gray scum. Seeing all the youthful, eager faces of the House I once vehemently served and bashing in their faces with strength AND discipline. It brings me back. Ah... memories..."

— Graziks on the Return of the House of Gray

Personality and Traits

"I like the guy, honestly! Give him a mission and he will eagerly accept it in a heartbeat, and that just disregards his actual combat prowess. But, and I mean this with no disrespect, the proverbial elephant in the room must be addressed: he never takes his job seriously. That and he's somehow always drunk."

— Magnusk on Graziks' combat efficiency

Despite his dark, bloody past, rigorous and intense training as an assassin and an obvious and profound bloodlust, he always appears to be in an enthusiastic and bright mood. Many within the House of Lions have complimented his seemingly infectious charisma and undeniable skill in combat thanks to years of military experience and top-of-the-line Fallen tech. However, he also receives a fair amount of complaints, especially on his abundant hubris. Many have criticized his profound sarcasm, detrimental greed, frequent drunkenness, strange ambitions and, most of all, his lacking care for the operations he partakes in. Many have also questioned his quaint affection and life-long goal of becoming a full robot, though most of the complaints are more concerned about the childish devotion to the ambition. It has also been noted that he can occasionally "snap", becoming irreversibly angry and completely disregarding his own self-preservation, instead, entering an omnicidal, bloodthirsty frenzy only curved overtime; whether this chocks up to PTSD, his training as an unfeeling assassin or, perhaps, the volatile combination of both is still unknown. Regardless, he has proven to be an indispensable ally and, though rare, even leadership. Albeit hesitantly, many Lions would eagerly hire Graziks to take care of their troubles; hell, sometimes to get a chuckle at his demeanor, something in which he is always aware of... and something he doesn't mind.
