'''Colonel Grimsson''', also known as '''"The Blood Colonel"''' and '''The Butcher of [[Barendir]]''', is a member of [[The Red Axe]] Mining Company. He serves as the Red Axe director, [[Hreidmar]]'s, right hand man and presumably the leader of the Red Axe's guards as well as an army at [[Barendir]]. During [[King of the Dwarves]], [[Veldaban]] discovers that he does not voluntarily cooperate with the company, but was brainwashed to believe so.

The Colonel was a well known dwarf for his efforts in fighting the trolls. He fought as the commanding officer in the [[Battle of Barendir]], where the forces of [[Keldagrim]] attacked a large [[troll (race)|troll]] army. During the battle, Grimsson led the [[Black Guard]] into what was a massacre when he ordered them to charge into a troll entrenchment. Grimsson, once reaching the troll defence, began to furiously kill every troll around him, but suddenly he was struck in the skull by a large stone. Without warning, the Colonel went mad and began to attack everything around him, including his fellow dwarves.

[[Veldaban]], who was a lower rank at the time, ordered Grimsson to be restrained and taken into custody. Before he was put on trial, however, he went missing. He later joined the Red Axe where his madness and anger would be accepted as a strength. His most noticeable physical trait is the large scar on his face which he received at the battle. Colonel Grimsson almost mistook [[Grunsh]], the [[ogre]] ally of the Red Axe, for a troll when they first discovered him.

In [[Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf]], he is seen along with the Director, Grunsh, and some [[Gnomes]] from [[Arposandra]] discussing the creation of the [[Chaos Dwarves]] and their current production status.
At the end of the quest, he is seen observing the player make a drunken fool of him/herself in front of the congregation of dwarves at the [[Laughing Miner]] pub. Seeing that Grunsh's spell was a success, he was sure that no one will believe the player's tales of what they found.

During the [[Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf]] quest, the player and Veldaban uncover another of the Red Axe's large hidden bases, only this one is far more important. It actually contains the machines needed to convert normal dwarves into Chaos Dwarves against their will. Grimsson is seen with Hreidmar and Grunsh as they oversee the conversion of the dwarves, but suddenly spot the player and Veldaban when he has a flashback. While the player and Veldaban try to escape from the secret factory, Grimsson gleefully reveals that the Chaos Dwarf killed earlier in the quest was in fact Veldaban's lady friend, [[Hilda]]. After the realization of this, Veldaban swears he will kill Grimsson.

During the [[King of the Dwarves]] quest, the player and Veldaban confront Grimsson. During the conversation, Grimsson teases Veldaban about his girlfriend dying, and Veldaban realises that Grimsson was indeed brain-washed. After the conversation, Grimsson attacks Veldaban, and when Grimsson is defeated, he retreats.

==Trivia==
*As part of the [[Red Axe]], Grimsson wields a red axe. The red axe that he wields is similar to the Dragon Battleaxe of ''RuneScape Classic''.
*In the quest King of The Dwarves, he uses ranged attacks as opposed to melee. This could imply that his weapon of choice is a dragon throwing axe, which has yet to be released.
