Skills and Abilities
Praetor Anti-Magic: Grigori is a Null, meaning that magic of any kind as no effect upon his person. The benefits of this are that it is always active, requiring no concentration nor energy, but the drawbacks are that it only affects himself, and therefore he cannot protect others directly with his gift nor, say, cancel a fireball in flight or dispel a curse.
Praetor Training: Praetors of Gild are warrior statesmen, and as such they receive ample martial training. Grigori's style is more characteristic of a brute, fierce and powerful, using his natural size and strength to overwhelm his opponents with his preferred two-handed weaponry.
