Grayson was born Claudianus in Dacia in the year AD 325, Around the year 365, Claudianus died under the hooves of the invading Goths and became Immortal. Darius, the general of the Goths and one of the most powerful Immortals at the time, sensed Claudianus and took him under his wing, and trained him to become a powerful warrior. Claudianus changed his name to Grayson, believing that Darius, who always wore a gray wolf skin over his shoulder, was his true father, and he became Darius’ second-in-command. Grayson became one of the most powerful Immortals in the game and killed many Immortals. Some watchers assumed that he would become the one. In modern times, Grayson decided to turn on Darius his mentor for betraying the game and taking refuge on holy ground. Grayson said that he would keep on killing those Darius cared for one by one if he did not step off the holy ground and become the man he used to be. He then said his next victim was going to be a mortal named Victor Paulus, a man of peace like Darius, and another of his protégés. But Duncan MacLeod, another powerful immortal, was able to interfere with Grayson's plans and challenged him to a duel...to the death. That is what is taking place here.
