Granek is a devoted Agrikan and advisor to Horab Gerund, the Akarata of the Warriors of Mameka. He is fully devoted to him and is the Akarata’s most-trusted minion. This has earned him the nickname “Akarata’s Voice”.[1]
Granek is a capable manager and holds extraordinary power, which he knows could vanish at any moment. He is fully aware that the Akarata’s eventual death will see him burn on the same pyre. For now, Granek enjoys his authority at the expense of the villagers and considers his independent future.[1]
While Meketa Bron Zarnist, the constable of Caer Bedenes, is the titular governor of Bedenes village he leaves its management to Granek. Bron is much more concerned with overseeing the keep and governing Emesa Hundred.[2]
The Emesa hundred is too underdeveloped to boast a strong Mangai so the guilds take their lead from Granek. He recognises that the bailiff of Emesa, Telmen Meran, can be influenced and is less inclined than most officers of the order to crush the fragile economic potential of the Emesa market. He has encouraged the bailiff to listen to Harvel of Yuropild, Emesa’s chandler, on matters of trade, and to his reeve, Kered in matters agricultural.[1]
Granek has often complained about the exorbitant price of woolen cloth imported from the south for the Orders needs. This has lead Kobin Otorna the Telmen of Dasath to invest in a small flock of sheep. He expects the manor to make a fortune when they are sheared but behind his back his conservative herdsman, Halairne, just wearily shakes his head.[3] Granek is a fairly shrewd man, so it remains to be seen who will get “fleeced” in this scheme to produce wool for the Warriors, the wool merchants in the south who will lose their business in the Emesa market, the Telmen of Dasath manor, or “Akarata’s Voice”?
