{{Quote|Hah, relax!  Won’t be long, an’ I’ll be bringin’ Kinbois’s lot along for the fun. When I do, all Grannvale’s our oyster. Even Belhalla oughta be easy pickings with nuthin’ around to stop us!|Gandolf, to [[Gerrard]]}}

On his father's orders, in Grann 757 Gandolf led the Verdane army on a raid of neighboring [[Grannvale]], in an attempt to prevent Grannvale from invading Verdane first.  Gandolf's army beseiged and conquered [[Yngvi]] Castle, with Gandolf personally almost killing [[Midayle]] to end the siege, then he abducted its stewardess Lady [[Edain]] to be a trophy wife, taking her back to Verdane and leaving the Grannvale raid in the hands of his subordinates, intending to return later with his brother [[Kinbois]] to pillage the country further.  Back at Marpha Castle, upon realizing that his brother [[Jamke]] had released Edain from her imprisonment in the castle, he deployed his army to retrieve her and [[Dew]] and to fight [[Sigurd]]'s impending invasion force.  He was defeated and slain in this battle.

Gandolf was a brutal man in every respect, viewing the invasion of Grannvale and the ransacking of its commoners as a fun activity. He was easily frustrated by things not going as he liked, such as when his army took so long to seize Yngvi or when Jamke released Edain and Dew. He was particularly misogynistic in his treatment of [[Edain]], and by extension the rest of the women of Grannvale, planning to force her to marry him and talking about her as if she was little more than a mindless object when talking about her to [[Gerrard]].<ref>{{Cite|'''Gerrard:''' But, er, your lordship...
