  ELotH:TES / Lord Greylord
Greylord mourned the death of his friend in 583 TMSK, but continued to be a valuable ally to Ronard's line and lent great stability through his continued presence on the The Kings Council, though he never sought the role of High King.
Greylord's idiosyncrasies were further compounded when, working non-stop and without sleep for 85 days, he drew up minutely detailed plans for a gigantic citadel with Parsonya Castle at its centre, to be built on top of and around the current capital city as an unassailable defense against virtually any invader.
Seeking vengeance for his lost kingdom, Greylord was among those who led the final offensive in 1003 and died under the edge of the Fell Blade.

This "bagman" had been Deputy Traffic Court Clerk in the Cook County judicial system, and he was the first defendant to be found guilty in a mammoth sting investigation of crooked officials in the Cook County courts.
It was called OPERATION GREYLORD, named after the curly wigs worn by British judges.
And in the end -- through undercover operations that used honest and very courageous judges and lawyers posing as crooked ones...

  It's All in the Wrist (excerpt, Enchantress)
Greylord, or something about him, annoyed him to no end, and he couldn’t fathom what it might be.
So he smoothed out his costume, puffed himself up like Greylord’s second-in-charge (like he was), popped his pills and left the room on his mission to inform his people of the plan which would be going down in a matter of hours, two at the least, six at the most.
She was fully aware that Greylord would do anything to her to further his plans; she only hoped, that if she were destined to die here, that she would have a final shot at her enemy, and thus the enemy of her goddess.

The idea is to take what we already know about Greylords in Warmachine (offensive magic with damage and denial capabilities) and expand that to a warcaster.
For a model, I would suggest using a (derp!) Greylord model, but they'll likely be on the field already.
Neither of those courses are offered by the Greylord Covenant, as far as I know, so it will have to be something self-taught/discoverd.

 COMMENTARY - Ohio Greylord: Bringing Judicial Corruption Out of the Closet
Operation Greylord was an FBI investigation of judicial corruption in Cook County, Ill., during the 1980s.
In speaking about Greylord, the FBI intoned that corrupt practices in government strike at the heart of social order and justice and that's "why the FBI has the ticker on investigations of public corruption as a top priority".
The sooner they initiate Operation Ohio Greylord, the better the chance there will be for a fair administration of justice in the Baumgartner case as well as every case in the judicial system.

 Operation Greylord
In the wake of the 1980s federally initiated Operation Greylord scandal that rocked the community and exposed a judicial system rife with corruption, incompetence, intrigue, and influence peddling, a blue-ribbon panel was assembled to examine the ills of the Cook County courts and issue recommendations that would contribute toward noteworthy, long overdue reform.
Judge Bailey was well into his second decade on the bench when the whisperings of Greylord erupted into a front-page major media scandal that compromised the fragile integrity of all of Cook County's judiciary.
The renowned federal investigation began when Terry Hake, a former Cook County attorney who worked for Judge Bailey, approached the FBI and agreed to wear a hidden microphone and record the conversations detailing the ways and means of payoffs between lawyers and judges.

AN operation codenamed Greylord in Cook County in Illinois, which covered an extensive federal investigation into corruption in the county's judicial system in the early 1980s, ended up with almost 100 people convicted.
Other suggestions were to increase the professional skills of prosecutors and investigators, strengthening financial disclosure rules for judges, and developing programmes within the judiciary, law schools and professional legal associations that stress professional ethics.
It was reported that a few years after the Greylord prosecutions, another judicial scandal erupted with three judges and several politicians convicted of fixing murder cases and committing other criminal offences.

 judgingcrimes.com - Judging Crimes - 141. Brocton Lockwood and Operation Greylord
According to the Daily Register, Operation Greylord's final tally was "17 judges, 48 lawyers, 8 policemen, 10 deputy sheriffs, 8 court officials, and 1 state legislator" arrested, and most of them convicted.
When the state Supreme Court learned about Operation Greylord, Lockwood and two lawyers involved in the case were called on to show why they should not be disbarred for casting the state judicial system in a bad light, Lockwood said.
It's sobering to think that if Operation Greylord hadn't produced quite so many headlines, the Illinois Supreme Court might have been quite happy to sacrifice the legal career of an honest judge to protect the the reputation of a system that didn't deserve it.

Petitioner was arrested by federal law enforcement agents during the "Greylord" investigation into corruption in the Chicago criminal justice system.
At the hearing, the prosecutor expressed concern that in state court Tuite had represented co-defendants of both Filliponio and Davis, who were to testify for the government.
Moreover, petitioner clearly knew many of the details of his attorney's potential conflicts since his selection of his attorney was expressly based on the attorney's previous experience in representing Greylord defendants.

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals held that the Circuit Court of Cook County is a criminal enterprise.
The United States Supreme Court recently acknowledged the judicial corruption in Cook County, when it stated that Judge "Maloney was one of many dishonest judges exposed and convicted through 'Operation Greylord', a labyrinthine federal investigation of judicial corruption in Chicago".
Since judges who do not report the criminal activities of other judges become principals in the criminal activity, 18 U.S.C. Section 2, 3 and 4, and since no judges have reported the criminal activity of the judges who have been convicted, the other judges are as guilty as the convicted judges.

The initial shooting would see the Juggernaut receiving a large amount of fire from the mercenary barage gun and the Defender's cannon while a Greylord would fall to a barage shot and another would be crushed against the wall of a building when Brisbane shockwaved the Marauder against him.
Khadoran reply fire was ineffective as the Destroyer was moving too much to take accurate aim at the Trollkin and the remaining Greylord broke and ran from the fray but recovered his composure once he was outside the line of fire.
The Marauder would rush to close proximity of the blockhouse door before being blown apart by the Cygnarian firepower while providing a distraction for the rapid approach of The Butcher who put a hand cannon shot into Brisbane when he was not paying close attention to where he was on the battlefield.

 Book Reviews
Both of these books on Greylord describe the long hours and hard work that went into uncovering and documenting the corruption in order to obtain convictions in federal trials.
However, since his cooperation was the single most important reason that Operation Greylord succeeded, the book really should have considered more fully the possibility that one man's ambition, not simply his disillusionment, was the force behind the investigation.
Lockwood sought nothing from the feds for his assumption of a terrible risk, and he describes Greylord solely from his point of view.
