  A good as it can be for a golem. (Read: Hasn't lost a limb yet.)

  Speech
  Broken English at best. Has a reasonable vocabulary but putting them into sentences can produce interesting results.

  When Happy
  Most likely to 'talk' when he's happy (or at least not unhappy).
  
  When Depressed
  Quiet, may not acknowledge those speaking to him.
  
  When Angry
  Loud, often resorting to 'pummel first, ask questions to the paste left later if at all' takes a lot to calm him back down, often leading to a lot of unnecessary damage.
  
  Virtues
  Courage.
  
  Vices
  Wrath.
  
  Aspirations
  To find purpose and eventually become fluent in English

• Bio

  Grant was created originally to patrol and guard an artifact excavation site from would-be thieves. The archmage that led the excavation and created him used powerful magic to keep him from falling apart when he was not around.
  
  About three years into the dig, the site was attacked by a large group of bandits. The other golems and guards along with the archmage were killed and the place looted. Grant, through his immense strength and durability (and a good dose of luck) survived but the wizards death triggered a memory wipe making him forget everything up to the moment of his creator's death.
  
  In the preceding years afterward he traveled the land trying to find purpose, re-building up a large vocabulary over his time of eavesdropping conversations and assisting in mercenary work, he does however find stringing together coherent sentences a challenge and opts for more simple phrases and ways of speech so he can be understood.
  
  His name Grant came from a city guard who jokingly referred to him as Grant since it looked like he was made of granite, the name then stuck.
  
  He currently still wanders the land, looking for purpose once again and a good fight, as he's discovered to quite enjoy punching bandits into paste.
