Archibald Greymane

King Archibald Greymane (1033 F.A. - 1093 F.A.) was the king of Gilneas and the father of Genn Greymane. In 1053 F.A., he became king after the death of his father, and began a large industrialization process that would bring about the changes which would eventually lead to modern Gilnean society, including the construction of the Light's Dawn Cathedral. Under his rule, Gilneas prospered. Additionally, he centralized power within the city, leading to the widespread destitution of many of the country nobility, who would become enemies of the king. He passed away in his sleep at the age of sixty, beginning the reign of his son Genn. He was buried in Aderic's Repose along with his ancestor, and was joined later by his grandson Liam.

Personality
Archibald saw asking others for help as being weak, and often boasted that he built up Gilneas without the assistance of other great kingdoms of the time such as Stormwind, Lordaeron and Quel’Thalas. He passed this trait onto his son Genn, who became very stubborn, refusing any sort of aid until the Invasion of Gilneas, where he began to finally move past this view.
