Gram Kobold was a Menaphite mercenary who fought in the Kharidian-Zarosian War in the Second Age. When the Zarosians were on the winning hand, Gram contemplated mutiny, but he changed his mind when he witnessed Icthlarin and his Mahjarrat posse arrive to the battlefield through a "yawning rift" from Freneskae. With the Mahjarrat's aid, who became known as the 'Stern Judges', the Menaphite Pantheon began to drive back the armies of Zaros.
