Vignar Gray-Mane

"When the Empire surrendered to the Aldmeri Dominion, they shamed us all!"

- Vignar Gray-Mane

Vignar Gray-Mane is a member of the Gray-Mane clan in Whiterun. He is a strong supporter of the Stormcloaks. He is known as "Vignar the Revered" to The Companions.

History
He seems to be the oldest member of The Companions, Kodlak suggesting that he witnessed the rise and fall of half a dozen Harbingers, and Vilkas saying that he "knows our history as well as Vignar, by now, except I can remember it."

Clan Battle-Born
Of all the Grey-Mane's, Vignar seems to be the one who is most opposed to the Battle-Borns, with both women in the family having lines about the two clan's fued's stupidity, and the other men not commenting.

Civil War Aftermath
Vignar Gray-Mane replaces Jarl Balgruuf the Greater as the Jarl of Whiterun, if the Dragonborn helps the Stormcloaks take over Whiterun in The Battle for Whiterun. He also mentions plans to build a Temple of Talos in Whiterun, and make Heimskr the High Priest.
