Son of a mortal human woman and the Grim Reaper, Locke Gray was born outside of the spectrum of life and death. He grew up normally enough, though he was a quiet and morbid child, but as an adult, he took to dark and grim music and stole away into his library for a decade. When he came out, he was ashen in hue and cloaked in black cloth. He went to cemetaries and sang dirges in many languages, ensuring that all souls interred there would move on. He did this for centuries. Only recently has he begun to expand from this task, working with the Curseweaver and a group of assassins to track the source of some new and powerful undead.
