Colonel Grimsson

Colonel Grimsson, or simply "The Colonel" is a member of The Red Axe Mining Company. He serves as the Red Axe director, Hreidmar's right hand man and presumably the leader of the Red Axe's guards.

The Colonel was a well known dwarf for his efforts in fighting the trolls. He fought as the commanding officer in the Battle of Barendir, where the forces of Keldagrim attacked a large troll army. The battle was catastrophic and Grimsson went insane, joining the Red Axe where his madness and anger would be accepted. His most noticeable physical trait is the large scar on his face which he received at the battle. Colonel Grimsson almost mistook Grunsh, the ogre ally of the Red Axe, for a troll when they first discovered him.

In Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf, he is seen along with the Director, Grunsh, and some Gnomes from Arposandra discussing the creation of the Chaos Dwarves and their current production status. At the end of the quest, he is seen observing the player make a drunken fool of himself in front of the congregation of dwarves at the Laughing Miner pub, seeing that Grunsh's spell was a success and no one will believe the players tales of what they found.

During the Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf quest, the player and Veldaban uncover another of the Red Axe's large hidden bases, only this one is far more important. It actually contains the machines needed to convert normal dwarves into Chaos Dwarves against their will. Grimmson is seen with Hreidmar and Grunsh as they oversee the conversion of the dwarves, but suddenly spot the player and Veldaban when he has a flashback. While the player and Veldaban try to escape from the secret factory Grimmson reveals that the Chaos Dwarf killed earlier in the quest was in fact Veldaban's lady friend, Hilda. After the realization of this, Veldaban swears he will kill Grimmson.



Trivia

 * Unsurprisingly, as part of the Red Axe, Grimmson wields a red axe. The red axe that he wields is similar to the Dragon Battleaxe of Runescape Classic.
