In Series 6 of Knightmare, there is a scene where Julius Scaramonger is being helped on his stall by a non-speaking extra referred to as 'Young Grimwold' the ogre. And that is my character here. I have a forthcoming fanfic that takes him in one direction; on this Forum he is free to go in another.
Young Grimwold (YG) is the son of Grimwold the Ogre, and Mrs. Grimwold. He met Mellisandre in the Dungeon and fell in love with her. Unfortunately, his ogrish temperament came to the surface, and he broke her arm; Melly in return broke his heart (and grew closer to Motley). YG was distraught, and left the Dungeon to try and deal with his violent side. He's had various exploits: for a while, he stayed at a monastery, and helped the monks with manuscript work, picking up a lot of Latin on the way, and generally trying to refine himself (he got to know Brother Mace, and Callimpsest, the librarian from the Knightmare Boarding School); at another point, he decided to travel, and became a cabin boy on Captain Nemanor's ship (the story of their rescue mission to Atlantis may be told one day). He was even in a singer-songwriter partnership with Ridolfo for a bit. One day, he received some family news: the Grimwolds' pet, Festus, had disappeared, and his parents had moved out to Wolfenden to get over the loss. YG decided that the time was right to return, and here he is.
YG looks like a younger, shyer, less hairy version of his father. He is desperate not to be seen as an ogre, but his violent side still exists, and every so often will rush to the surface. He would tip the balance in any fight. (He's a bit like the Incredible Hulk, I suppose.) At times, he still feels lonely and confused, but does his best to maintain a protective nature. As long as he is respected for his loyalty and wit, he is happy.
On top of whatever may happen to him in the village, YG has a 'quest' given to him by his mother: find Festus. This may involve more travelling on YG's part - Festus could be lurking in the Forest of Dunn, or running with the white wolves in Winteria, or still in the Dungeon somewhere.
I hope Young Grimwold fits in.
