Gregorovic

Gregorovic, also known as The Mannequin, is the general of Sliske's army in The Heart. Gregorovic was a fatally ill human of the Fourth Age who was desperate to avoid death. In the hope of prolonging his life, he captured some of the few Cywir elves living in Gielinor and employed torturous experiments to unsuccessfully extract the secret of their long lifespan.

When this failed, he sought out the Mahjarrat Sliske in the Barrows, and offered him his soul in return for eternal life. Sliske accepted his offer, but questioned whether Gregorovic had thought his proposal through. Sliske then killed Gregorovic and resurrected him in a monstrous new form with an insatiable yearning to consume. Sliske informed him that his new form is imbued with powerful shadow magic.

Gregorovic was shocked by his appearance, but Sliske added that to maintain this form, he must consume other beings, and by doing so, would become more powerful. He submitted to Sliske, swearing loyalty to him for helping him avoid death and becoming more powerful at the same time. At some point, Gregorovic came across and killed a fury, causing her sisters to seek vengeance for her death.

When The Heart was discovered, Gregorovic was one of the five generals to arrive. Helwyr and the Twin Furies both swore revenge on him for the deaths he had caused. He then summons Sliske's wights to claim the Heart in his name.

Combat
Gregorovic primarily uses ranged attacks that can poison players, although he will use melee if the player gets too close to him. After several normal attacks, he will throw several knives rapidly towards players in the arena for massive ranged damage. He will occasionally say "RISE, CHILD!", and a Spirit of Mania, Spirit of Rage, or Spirit of Delirium will spawn, depending on his location. Should the spirit get to him, he will gain a damage buff for the rest of the fight. He can also create shadows of himself which will attack players and allow him to teleport to them if needed; both shadows and the spirits have 3,000 hitpoints each.

In addition, Gregorovic will toss his glaives in the air; shadows will appear on the ground. Get out of the area quickly as various daggers will fall down for high magic damage; this can be reduced or blocked by Debiltate, Reflect and Devotion respectively, but be wary for any ranged attacks afterwards as he tends to combine both of them often.

In challenge mode, Gregorovic will summon more spirits at once. (two buff spirits or three/four shadow spirits.) Additionally, the first time his health gets low, he'll curse you, and you'll be forced to fight off additional minions while he heals. The normal minions do not have increased health.
