'''Grimalkin Duveig''', also known as '''Grimalkin the Fist''', is a [[Drakes|Drake]] who lives in [[Pallass]], and the famed master of his own personal magic school, Physical Magic. He holds the position of Magic-Captain in his city.

== Appearance ==
He is a huge, muscle-bound Drake<ref name="6.09" /> with green scales<ref name="7.20">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/29/7-20/ Chapter 7.20]</ref> that wears tight-fitting clothing.<ref name="6.09">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/20/6-09/ Chapter 6.09]</ref>
== Personality ==
Grimalkin is like a "drill-Sergeant on steroids" with an obsession with the physical body. He is extremely demanding and strict with his students, but is a genuinely caring teacher who tries to push them to their limits.. Despite his intimidating, muscle-bound appearance, Grimalkin is very much an intellectual, often taking notes when he witnesses an unusual magical phenomenon. Notably, he was able to figure out that [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] was from another world, albeit bribing [[Troydel|Troy]] and [[Leon]] to spill the beans. 

== Background ==
Grimalkin is considered the most powerful [Mage] in Pallass, as such, other Walled Cities note that the loss of Grimalkin would be devastating for Pallass. 

He grew up in Pallass.<ref name=":0" />

Grimalkin's combat power comes from practical expertise as much as levels and skills. Having fought in six wars, he looks down on [Mages] without combat experience. He notes Wistram graduates as typically lacking this practical expertise, although Grimalkin does admits Wistram is still a superior school of magic compared to the institution at Fissival where he learned. 

Grimalkin holds an unknown formal rank in the military of Pallass and he confers with [[Chaldion Oliwing|Chaldion]] and the [Generals] of Pallass regularly. It is implied that he has struck some form of deal with the government of Pallass to stay with the city in return for other benefits. 

Grimalkin owns at least one mansion within the walls of Pallass which doubles as a location to train his students. He also regularly consults on the training of Pallass's elite military units. Grimalkin's graduated students qualify for a minimum rank of [Captain] in Pallass's military. He can also certify adventuring teams as Gold-rank, and recommends a student as Silver-rank and Gold-rank each every year.  

== Chronology ==

==== Volume 6 ====
In one of Erin's first visits to Pallass Grimalkin is out running with his students when he meets her and recognizes her from the Goblin-Human Siege of Liscor and tells his students that Erin has "gonads" after (mistakenly)  telling them she had "testicles".<ref name="6.09" />

As part of some informal Liscor election help for Krisha and her party members, Erin brings him and Maughin to Liscor and introduces Relc and him as well as crowd of onlookers to weight training.<ref name=":0" /> 

==== Volume 7 ====
When the Wyvern attacked Pallas, Grimalkin was part of the first defenders on the wall and he killed several Wyvern and was the first to engage the Wyvern Lord.  Later he received help from General [[Duln]] and other specialists from Pallass first Army before it was finally chased away when [[Relc Grasstongue|Relc]], the [[Flamewardens]] and decidedly [[Saliss Oliwing|Saliss]] and [[Bird]] joined in attacking it.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/01/29/7-03/ Chapter 7.03]</ref> 

==== Volume 8 ====
Grimalkin and [[Xrn]] fight [[Belavierr Donamia|Belavierr]], but he was not able to deal any lasting damage to her with most of his spells and strength. He then supported Xrn and distracted the Witch to give her an attack opening<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/19/8-28/ Chapter 8.28]</ref>

==== Volume 9 ====
{{TBA}}

==== Volume 10 ====
When [[Valeterisa Imarris|Valeterisa]] went to [[Heiste]], he tagged along on invitation of Nanette. On the trip there he visited Ulta mansion to talk to [[Pryde Ulta|Pryde]] and stood in front of the door for two hours but, to his disappointment, Pryde did not want to see him. He also confirmed that the letters he had send had been received.<ref name=":2">{{VERef|Chapter 10.04 V}}</ref>

While talking to the other magic users on Heiste, he revealed that when he was still studying in Fissival, he applied for an exchange program at Wistram and even though he presented a paper on the theory of physical magic he would later become famous for he was rejected on the grounds that Wistram was a place for students to come to learn not for those that thought they were ready to teach. Instead, mage [[Rievan Forstrom|Rievan]] a first year student at the time without nearly as much research and fighting experience got the slot by telling the selectors what they wanted to hear and by having connections to the libertarian faction.<ref name=":2" />
