Description
Daniel Yancy Gree II, while sharing the rapidly graying brown hair, brown eyes, and tendency toward weight gain of his father, was a man more shrewd than his patriarch. Seeking training in law at Judge Gree's command from Westenford University, the younger Gree returned home to his native Colmouth and, at age twenty, stole the position of Mayor on half-truths for campaign promises, winning popular support and then stringing along "the honest folks of Colmouth" for a quarter century before losing in turn to his son, Daniel Gree III.
Background
Origins
Daniel Gree II was the son of Judge Daniel Gree of Colmouth and the Judge's wife, Agnes, born when his father was fifty and his mother fifteen. The Gree family ultimately has connections back to the Council in Westenford, a state that Judge Gree tried to mirror in his adopted home to mixed success. In a subtle form of rebellion, the younger Gree took up the One True Faith, at least in name if not in sincerity, instead of his father's Tubbian beliefs. Despite his own slight paunch, the younger Gree was able to use the basic physical difference between him and his much more corpulent elder as a selling point in his run for office: surely, he reasoned, a man so large and openly gluttonous could not have the town's best interests at heart! His efforts cast enough doubt on the Tubbians in town to almost completely ruin their minimal political influence until a resurgence in 238 AR, and the rest of his campaign was built on buttering up the lower classes, playing to their ideas of honesty and their work ethics. After twenty-five years of half-delivered promises, though, the people were ready for a change. However, with the second Gree's only competition at the time being his son, aged twenty-three, it was nearly an even race between them, with the son again unseating the father as had happened a generation before.
The Broken Dagger
While Daniel Gree II never entered the Broken Dagger, he is known to have ventured on occasion into Myrkentown, enjoying the rare vacation from his work in Colmouth.
The Present
Daniel Gree II died August 2, 208, in Colmouth, aged 53. At the time of death, he was still fairly wealthy but was a widower, leaving a sizable inheritance for his elder son, leaving next to nothing for the younger Tubbian son.
Plots
Daniel Gree II is not part of any active plots at present.
