History: Elvira grew up with her older sister Amanda in the Grey House, just off Barrow Fields. Amanda was beautiful and pure and the rightful heir to the seat of power of Bowerstone. An already jealous Elvira was visited by a "masked messenger" who encouraged her to kill her sister. Out of thirst for power, Elvira locked her older sister in the cellar beneath their childhood home, where she subsequently suffocated and died.

Leaving her old life behind, Elvira became "Lady Grey" and took her sister's place as Bowerstone's mayor. She sold half of the books from the Bowerstone School library to raise money to build Bowerstone Manor. With the manor commissioned, Lady Grey moved in and lived there from that point forward.

When the Hero of Oakvale first visits Bowerstone South, he can see Lady Grey being sung to by a bard. She eventually returns to the upper-class district, Bowerstone North. Lady Grey learns of rare artifacts, held at Orchard Farm. She hires the guild and a group of bandits to attack the farm and collect the stones.

After the Hero of Oakvale becomes the new Arena Champion, Lady Grey arrives in Witchwood and introduces herself to him. Thunder, who happens to be Lady Grey's suitor, is jealous of the attention she shows. Lady Grey invites the Hero of Oakvale to Bowerstone North, for they "have much to discuss."

Arriving in Bowerstone North, the Hero of Oakvale can be welcomed by the Bowerstone Sheriff. He tells the Hero about the "nut case" they have locked up in the holding cell by the jail. The sheriff directs the Hero to the manor gardens where Lady Grey is waiting for him. Lady Grey welcomes the Hero as they walk through the gardens and into the courtyard. She explains how she always wanted to marry an Arena Champion. Should the Hero choose to marry her, he will ultimately have to duel Thunder for her hand in marriage.

The Hero could have also decided to investigate the mayor and listen to Gethyn in the holding cell. Gethyn claimes that Lady Grey murdered her older sister Amanda. The Hero has the choice of going to the abandoned Grey House to search for clues on Amanda's disappearance. The Hero will find the ghost of Amanda in the cellar where she will explain how her sister, Elvira, killed her for Bowerstone's mayorship. Amanda tells the Hero to take the Scrawled Parchment by her corpse and expose her sister. Lady Grey will arrive and confront the Hero of Oakvale, claiming Amanda was a weak romantic fool, who never had what it took to run Bowerstone.

The Hero may expose Lady Grey, causing her to vanish for good. Gethyn would be set free, and The Hero of Oakvale can choose to become Bowerstone's new mayor. The Hero could have decided to proceed with marrying Lady Grey and covering up the murder. This would result in the Hero dueling Thunder for her hand in marriage, and Gethyn getting executed.
