E. R. Grossom was a royal explorer under king Tibianus II. Following said's orders, Grossom explored the swamp near Venore by water. Unfortunately though, he was shipwrecked, and his raft with the Tibian Flag still standing can be found stranded here.

However, this may change in the future, as it is rumoured that the Skeleton roaming around near his decomposed body is actually Grossom himself...
