Lord Alexander Grimwold is the head of the House of Grimwold and the eldest of the Grimwold siblings. Alexander was raised, ironically, with tutelage from the Kollivare family, and as such, is a well trained battlemage. Though he leans to the side of a warrior, his skills with magic have made him an invaluable warrior. He is a very wholesome figure, often seeking the diplomatic approach with his allies, and preaches fairness in accordance to how his family has ruled.


When Taenia was over-run and his family thought to be killed, Alexander escaped staying in the outskirts of Taenia alone. Though he originally had a small band of Lionswatch with him, they died one by one until he alone remained. He made himself known in Fairwind Port after the Blades arrived there to rid Rignweald and the Ashen Coast of the Grimsheer Clan once and for all. Joining forces with them, he was one of the principle commanders during the Reclamation of Taenia.


In the aftermath of the reclamation, Taenia remained a stern ally of the Blades and Alexander neared his way to becoming Duke of Rignweald, though this independence was short lived. As the Legion rampaged through Azeroth, Taenia was short-handed on being able to defend itself, and Rignweald as a whole struggled to combat against the rising tide of demons. Taking aid from the Ashen Coast and nearby Gravemarch; Alexander made the crucial error of allowing Gravemarch far too many stations within the region. As a result, when the Legion had been defeated; the guardians of Taenia were none other than Gravemarch. Declaring that the region could not defend itself; Alexander was forced to bend the knee to Rieka Ebongrove, becoming part of the Duchy of Gravemarch. In the months that followed, Rignweald splintered in two separate marches, the March of the Crag and the March of Taenia; the latter being approved for caretaking under Gravemarch's rule. As such, while Taenia was ultimately raised into March status; the man's power waned significantly as his region was policed by an outside noble.


He remains the Marcher Lord of Taenia, though his house's power has waned from the bright hope it once encapsulated.
