Gryx does not pick sides, he simply takes any job that pays well. From plump aristocrats to hidden assassins, Gryx has a plan and a poison for any bounty. Mage's Bane for spellcasters, Bloodthorn for warriors, and Viper's Tongue for the defenseless. Most jobs that come Gryx's way are trivial, at least for his expertise, but every so often a secret benefactor pays handsomely for a high-profile job. So when he was approached to capture an archmage on Gildéa's Grand Circle, his curiosity was piqued and his smile widened: a mage is no different from a commoner once they've lost their voice.
