A knight who believes killing equals honor, that Orcs are evil and he must kill all who cross his path (as well as many who are nowhere near his path), and that he is a sane human being. All three of these are false. Glorion's apparent passion for killing Orcs has resulted in the Orcs naming him Orcslayer: he once slaughtered an entire village (possibly a retirement village) of Orcs, down to the elderly, women, children, and chickens. Orcs are not the only race he feels compelled to slaughter on sight, however: upon finding a group of various races in the Temple of All/Some/Select Doom (said group was holding the equivalent of an AA meeting for evil races), he kills them mercilessly. Killing could be said to be Glorion's first response to everything. He rarely plans ahead, often going with his instincts in the moment. | A knight who believes killing equals honor, that Orcs are evil and he must kill all who cross his path (as well as many who are nowhere near his path), and that he is a sane human being.

JQS3
Glorion gets some advice from some well-meaning simple villagers, and finds Perf, the sword-thief. Perf uses some magic and almost defeats Glorion, but Glorion is far too brave to be defeated.
