Grimgor

Jack the Wizard was mad, but affable. Grimgor, not so much.

Back in the day, while Jack was messing with spells and potions, Grimgor worked with the peasantry - meaning he instilled fear to have them work for Jack - who wasn't even aware of this arrangement. If someone was too mouthy, Grimgor would don his hood and take an axe to their neck. Which, for Grimgor, was a decent arrangement.

Until Jack was executed himself. Grimgor still bullied the villagers, but they realized that, without a wizard behind him, he was nothing. Soon, Grimgor befell the same fate that many others met by his hand. Hisspirit, still wearing the executioner's hood, with a clean skull, still wanders the castle to this day.
