Grimgnaw

Grimgnaw is a dwarven monk and member of the Monks of the Long Death, an evil monastic order which worships the very essence of death, which is personified as the "Silent Lord," and seeks to bring as many living beings to death as possible. He is from Clan Battlehammer but left Mithral Hall to pursue initiation into the order of the Long Death. Akin to the cult, Grimgnaw has a deep, morbid fascination with death and dying and detests undead, as he believes undeath to be a means of escaping a natural death.

In the original campaign of Neverwinter Nights, Grimgnaw is one of several henchman who can be hired by the main character. In the Hordes of the Underdark campaign, Grimgnaw is encountered in Cania. It is said that after the Hero of Neverwinter defeated Morag, Grimgnaw mysteriously vanished, and due to his presence in Cania, apparently died somehow. Grimgnaw informs you that as Mephistopheles has abandoned Cania, it is necessary for it to have a new ruler, and proclaims himself this ruler. He is accompanied by several companions, including Maugrim and Balpheron (a lich, which is ironic seeing as how Grimnaw is reputed to despise undead in any form), as well as the minotaur shown in the Neverwinter Nights original game, fighting Lord Nasher Alagondar, who support his claim to leadership of Cania. Believing that the hero poses a threat to his rule, Grimgnaw and his companions attack him or her, forcing the hero to defeat them.
