Born as an illegitimate child to Vegarious Atlas, an Ishgardian noble, and Aluria Graveborn, a prostitute from the Brume, Gray grew up in poverty within Ishgard's walls. Although there wasn't much money his mother made sure he never felt poor, as everything she had was put into raising him. However in order to maintain the secret of Gray's birth and to protect his own status and image, Vegarious had Aluria framed and brought up on charges of blasphemy against the Holy See. Essentially rendered an orphan, Gray was taken in by the Heaven's Ward, and trained from a young age by Ser Zephirin, who taught him the ways of the Dark Knight. Years later, around the age of 16, Gray spotted his father, Vegarious, accosting a commoner at night while on patrol. With his rage overtaking him he slew his father, fleeing Ishgard and leaving his sword and stone behind on the corpse.
As he headed south he arrived at Limsa Lominsa, and began to make a name for himself in the tavern for brawling. After getting on Merlwyb's radar, Gray found himself at the mercy of Wyrnzoen, the Marauder Guild leader. Seeing promise in Gray's combat he took him in and taught him to ways of the Warrior, and helped him channel his anger. It was there that he met Kuro Zakuro, a Miqo'te pirate, who was looking for an enforcer to keep his crew in line on voyages. Seeking a different life Gray accepted and began his years with Kuro, sailing the seas and being taught by other crew members how to play various instruments. After some time sailing together, and becoming best mates, Gray departed once more for Ishgard, to participate in the Dragonsong War.
It was there, in the war, that Gray's brother and the only member of the Atlas house to accept him met his end. In Gray's foolishness he sought to challenge Nidhogg to combat. being woefully outpowered and outskilled, Siegfried Atlas met his end at the hands of the dragon himself. The sight of his brother being torn apart by the fiend infront of him send Gray into a blind rage, in which he managed to slay the dragon and avenge his brother. Still being unable to face the populace of Ishgard he fled once more, and hasn't returned to this day.
