Grand is the virtual definition of an elderly grandfather, and he's that way with everyone. He loves seeing young people getting out and fulfilling their dreams, especially if what their doing is good and admirable.
Seeing young students at the college exercising their minds to learn their craft is something he never grows tired of witnessing.

He loves to teach, it's his passion to help the younger generations grow, learn, and experience life to the fullest. He loves to talk to anyone who would give him the time of day, and simply offer wisdom of the ages to those with patience to hear it.

His favorite time of day is Dusk. He will often turn his chair to the setting sun, sip his hot tea, and simply reflect on life and times long gone.
This is a dangerous time to disturb him if you're in any kind of hurry, otherwise he'll simply talk until the sun is gone and his tea is finished.

Many who knew him way back in the day, or a few of his students, could tell anyone that an angry Grand Khordon could often be mistaken for the anger of the gods themselves.
One does not spend his entire life gathering knowledge and magical lore and power to have it disrespected.
Once a student made fun of his lesson in the middle of class, and craftsmen had to be called in to repair the structural damage to the college caused by his rage.

"Grand Khordon, The Balefire of the Reach, Grand Maester, Maester of the Tome, Ruin of the East, Avatar of Magic"... These are but a few of the hundreds of titles he's been given in his life, but the title that's come to be his absolute favorite for all of time is "Grandfather".
The tales of his youth are legends best told another time. The here and now is what's important, but one could hardly understand the now without the basic outline of the past.

Grand Khordon was born in the Allirian Reach in a town not far from the city of Alliria. His parents were quite wealthy and successful adventurers, both accomplished sorcerers with strong magic, and he was quite a curious child. The most common words that came out of his mouth during this time were; "Where?", "What?", "How?", And "Why?".
He was always asking questions constantly and it was obvious to everyone that he needed to be put in school. He began his education at a highly prominent institution and went on from there. Soon his intelligence outstripped his classmates and teachers.
Given the fact both his parents had a natural affinity for magic, it followed that he also inherited this gift, but to a greater degree.

He was sent to the college in Elbion and his magical career skyrocketed. In the intervening years he's been on many adventures, traveled all over Arethil, collected and amassed countless pieces of magical lore and knowledge. And now he finds himself as a high wizard in the college of Elbion on the Foard of Maesters in the Fourth Order.
