Greibis Nasch, Knight of Shalharra
"I am he who seeks to slaughter the spirits of enemies who would call themselves Shalharra's enemy."
The Beginning of a Titan
In the times that weren't so turbulent, there was born an Alsakan warrior. The infant was the son of a Knight of Shalharra, in turn sealing the fate of the boy. The baby's father named him Greibis, which in the Alsakan culture meant "Titan." This symbolism shaped reality for the boy's life, starting with his toddler years.
As soon as he was able to walk, young Greibis was taught the ways of the Alsakan Knights. His mind would only know their ways; he was to be one of their finest one day. The Order taught him to become devoid of emotion, for any sense of passion other than bloodlust or brotherly love was a sign of weakness. In combat, only the strong would survive, and when it came to the Knights of Shalharra, there was only room for the strong. This was the only mindset the boy was taught his entire life; he could not come to terms with any others. Sure, he was educated as to what others in the universe were taught, but the others were weak. They fought with their hearts, which would result in premature deaths.
Combat Training of a Titan
With due time came the training of the blade. Greibis' own father took it upon himself to personally see to the boy's training with the sword, for he was an adept veteran. The young one's fighting style was carved into the crude shape of his father's, but with time, it would be chiseled to perfection. This style was that of an offensive nature, for the boy duel-wielded weapons. It consisted of intimidation and invoked a sense of dread to the enemy who called upon its wrath. The boy's blade wouldn't be enough for this, though. A blade was too commonplace to be looked upon fearfully, so a more suitable replacement was found, though the blade would be sheathed upon his side for times of need.
A war hammer was given to the boy, a maul of brute strength and power. This was the point in which Greibis was separated from the other boys in the Alsakan training grounds. He was to be trained separately, by the Grand Master Piter de Nolay. He would be taught how to appropriatley wield this hammer of imminent destruction. Growing with his heavy weapon, he soon found that he was able to dual-wield these mauls just as he did with his swords. This doubled his effectiveness in combat, for though he lost a portion of the hammer's bite, his number of strikes were nearly doubled. This turned the boy into a living hurricane during combat.
As the boy became adept with the maul, his training with firearms took its beginning. He was at first trained how to fight with the average blaster. It wasn't long before his trainer had no more to teach him; the only way to further his abilities were through self-training. What would be more of a matter, though, was that of his training as a sniper. The pre-teen was put into real life situations where he would be abandoned in unknown territories. To escape, he would have to find and snipe the otherwise unreachable practice targets. This would trigger gateways to be opened to move onward to the next area, where he would have to do the same thing. This kind of training served to teach Greibis more than one thing. With this experience with real life scenarios, his mind wouldn't fog up when he was put into these type of situations on the battlefield. Not only this, but his eyes grew keen to small targets, therefore furthering his sniping abilities. This form of training pushed Greibis to the limit, allowing him full experience and skills heightening.
The Mind of a Titan
So the young man graduated from combat training at the turn of the twenties. He had mastered the swing of the maul, the accuracy of the blaster, and had learned the key to survival. With the physical combat training complete, it was time to learn the ways of combat tactics. This would be his gateway to higher ranks in the Knights of Shalharra. As before, the Grand Master Piter saw to the boy's training, which in itself showed that there were high aspirations for young Greibis.
Before he could begin learning the ways of military tactics, Greibis' brainpower had to be exploited. It would be a shame to waste the Grand Master's time if the young man was a blumbering fool. But, all worked out well. The young man soon learned that being a Knight of Shalharra meant more than proficiency in combat; it took a great mind and understanding above that of any savage warrior. Piter de Nolay showed Greibis the intellect that resided within his own mind. The war master brought about the best of the young man, bringing about a whole new side of him.
This was the point of the young man's life where he truly learned the most, for the keen mind of a warrior will always beat out the brute strength of his opponent. Beginning to understand this, Greibis showed himself to be the shining sun for the future of the Knights of Shalharra. His genius mind concocted ideas and tactics that even the Grand Master himself hadn't thought of. Pleased with the results of the training, Piter de Nolay promoted young Greibis to the rank of Knight.
Since the promotion, Greibis continued to shine. His leadership skills were an inspiration to the other Knights, and though they were all the same rank, the man became a leader to them on the battlefield. This continued for the next twenty years of Greibis' militaristic life.
