 Grisha, Shardmind Grisha awoke in a display at the Morgrave University. The professors, perhaps, did not expect the Shard of the Living Gate to awaken within their life time, or did not even recognize the lump of red crystal for what it was. Nevertheless, it came as quite a shock to the students and teachers of the college when the newly sentient Shardmind suddenly assembled himself, broke through the glass, and began to telepathically ask everyone around it a multitude of questions about his new surroundings. Eventually, after the shock had subsided and the Watch had been called off, the Head of the Anthropological Department requested that the Shardmind stay on campus for a while to get its bearings, more as a way of enabling further study of the being than as an apology for stuffing it into a glass box for two decades and calling the city guard on it. After realizing that the Shard was gifted with an incredible aptitude for learning, the Head decided to offer the being the chance to study at the university. The Shardmind, now calling itself Grisha, agreed, and was enrolled into the academy for six years, where he studied the cultures of Khorvaire as well as the mysteries of arcane magic. Unfortunately, on the day Grisha decided to leave out into the world and begin his life, he was hit with the bill for his tuition and board at the University. As it turned out, what the Head had offered was not even close to a free ride, and had kept it on the down-low while Grisha was enrolled. The total amount of money he owed to Morgrave University was close to 90,000 gold pieces. Forbidden from leaving Sharn until his debt was paid, Grisha was forced to immediately find employment. For fifteen years, the Shardmind labored, doing oddjobs for the residents of Sharn. He found it hard to hold down a job, perhaps in no small part due to his incredible naivety and inexperience when it came to interacting with mortals outside of a scholarly manner. He'd repeatedly gain a small amount of money and than lose it to a misfortune or misunderstanding. Eventually, when it seemed like his poverty would be perpetual, a solution presented itself. While working at a small hedge magic shop in Dura as a cleaner, a man attempted to rob the store. Before he could escape with the stolen goods, Grisha used his magic to render the floor frictionless. The bandit began to slide around uncontrollably and collided with a wall, which knocked him unconscious. When the Watch came by to arrest the man, they handed Grisha a small pouch filled with fifty gold pieces. The robber, as it turned out, had a bounty on his head for theft. Quickly recognizing a new opportunity, he quit his job and became a bounty hunter. Using his magic to apprehend and track criminals down, he quickly made a small fortune as well as a name for himself. And when the Watch decided to offer him a potentially lucrative position in a newly formed squad, he leaped at the offer. After all, he was starting to enjoy his work greatly.
