History
Life
Gray was born around the year 954. At some point, he became the Lord of the Land of Mountains.[1.1] He fathered a son in 990, Shahor, who became the Lord of the Land of Forests.
Death
On June 6, 998, Gray made his way to the Cathedral City with his son, and his magic teacher Caerula, Lady of the Land of Seas. Together, they sought to open the Door of Mercurius to obtain great power, as well as to avenge Beis, former ruler of the Land of Sands.[1.1]
When the magical girls known as Intoners arrived to also open the door, the lords ambushed them. Gray managed to singlehandedly kill Three, Five and Four. However, when the Door of Mercurius was shattered by Intoner One's Power of Song, the Black Mud from beyond it proceeded to use the dead Intoners to summon daemons.[1.3] Gray was subsequently killed by the daemon Armisael.[1.3]
Legacy
For a while after Gray's death, the people of the Land of Mountains remained unaware of it.[3][3.1][2.1] The deaths of the Lords of the Lands were only made public in January 999, when Intoner One triumphantly returned to the Cathedral City, having conquered all of Europe.[2.1] Gray was replaced as Lord of the Land of Mountains by the Intoner Four.
