After that Gregor's knack with numbers saw him gain increasing favour with the then Censor Halar, until the day that he became Halar's full time assistant and bean spending more of his time in a counting room and less time training with the other lictors. From that point his life followed a rather straight path, he served Halar well, met a woman, married her after two years of courtship.

Gregor and his wife Lana had two boys, one was born while Gregor was Halar's assistant and the second was born when Gregor became Censor. He remembered the transition well, as it was punctuated by Halar's death. The work remained the same as Halar's health in those final years deteriorated to the point where Gregor was Censor in all but name. He could have approached the electorate to have had Halar remove and himself appointed Censor, but Gregor remained loyal to the man who had pulled him from the legions and given him this life. Halar repaid the respect by leaving Gregor his house and all other assets upon his death. In his will Halar referred to Gregor as 'the son he never had', the warmest thing Gregor had ever heard from Halar. Halar even went so far as to leave a little something for Lana and Gregor's first son Brand.
