Professor Grizwold

Professor Horatio Grizwold ("Prof_Grizwold" in-game), sometimes spelled Grizwald, is the man who assembled Verigan's group of heroes during the quest to destroy the first portal. He is attacked by a "viner" (the early name for creepers in Minecraftia) outside the castle housing the portal, although it is revealed that he had survived, but it had appeared that he died in "Professor Grizwald and the Adventure of the Pyramid," when his log mansion was attacked by Orcs armed with exploding arrows. He apeared in a more recent adventure, "Professor Grizwald And The Redstone Keys", where the heroes find a journal of the professor. It says that the Restonians had a diamond mine where he was looking for before he went looking for the pyramid. In "Professor Grizwold and the Redstone keys" it is revealed that Grizwold hid a portal under his bedroom in the "Adventure of the Pyramid" and may have lived through the orc attack.

In the Episode "Mountain Of Kikatchu Part 2" it mentions a Professor Burben, who is discovered to be his brother (even if they have a different last name). It is also discovered that his famous accent is regional, from the area of Kikatchu. Recently, Honeydew and Xephos found a man named Professor Webley in Cloning Facility 4, where he had been trapped for months, who claimed to be Professor Grizwold's grandson.
