Background
Flint Grantham is dead, along with the rest of the men and woman of the Legion of Ashes. And that is just the way he likes it. Born originally Jacob Grantham, he was the first-born child of Zakary Grantham, thus being the heir of the house and throughout his childhood and youth, he was inundated with the culture of Grantham and of Ignis. As a boy he was exposed to embrace the spiritual and philosophical aspect the Crone and of death itself, in it's many interpretations, which only came with more questions. His father Zakary, who already dead, would do his best to answer them, and would often lament that he had been born a generation to soon to take part in what he saw would be a glorious battle against the Hostiles, as Gage Coram had done in the First System War and the actions of the Legion during the Second.
Jacob was brought up with these tales of heroism and valor in the mead halls of the Red House, the rowdy tales of men and women from Ignis who would slay Hostiles by the dozens or hundreds before falling, and glad for it. No, seeking death, to meet their redemption face on without fear. That was the tenant instilled into Jacob and his siblings. There is nothing to fear of death, this body was but a shell, glory and honor awaited him in the beyond. The danger was always real, as against Hostiles as much as it was on their harsh world, but fear was a choice. To truly live, there no need for fear.
RP Hooks
Confirmed Bachelor: Flint has never married, oddly enough, though he doesn't seem to be actively looking. With the family secured by the birth of his sister's daughter to be heir, there's no real reason for him to do so, though he his pestered by Marah to do so, if only for the sake of appearances. He'll get around to it. Eventually.
Loves to Work: If there's work to be done in the Pit, and there's not enough people for it, Flint will set aside his arms and pick up a hand-held drilling machine or a shovel and get to work in the mines or assisting loading freight. The Pit ascends or falls as one, noble and citizen alike.
Man of the People: For years, Flint was the face of Grantham, the would-be heir and first-born of the family. He's still something of that even in his less important role as a regular Knight. He's known to talk and converse with citizens while he walks the streets of the Pit, being a rather friendly sort.
Small Media Presence: While he wouldn't be considered an actor or anything of the sort, Flint has appeared on various talk shows as someone who talks about history of combat and war and others dealing with more philosophical discussions like the idea of second chances. He's also been weapon and training consultant on action movies, especially the ones that attempt to be as authentic as possible. Perhaps even given a cameo or single-line speaking role.
Neutral in Politics: Grantham care little for the struggle for the crown. That is to say, they don't care at all, the Hostiles are their concern. This is the same for Flint, believing that the fight between children is just that; a fight between children, something bored nobles make an issue out of until the Hostiles show up(oh wait, they have). If Flint had his way, he'd throw them both in the Legion to teach them some humility.
Byname: Flint set aside his real name on the day of his funeral, usually responding to Sir Flint or just Flint more often than anything else. Off of Ignis, he tolerates having to be called Sir Jacob, but he doesn't seem to really enjoy it.
