Character Information
Known History
Grim is hardly a man of mystery, if asked about himself he has always been forward with his personal history. He feels he has nothing to hide and is more consumed with killing Sabbat and other enemies of the Camarilla than playing the typical Machiavellian games of other kindred.
He was born in 1752, Boston Massachusetts, son of a mariner, and his mother died in childbirth. During his early years he was tutored by a wealthy charitable heiress. As an adult he made a living working at the docks. His father was killed during the Boston Massacre and he dedicated himself towards fighting for independence.
He joined “The Sons of Liberty” and personally took part in the Boston Tea Party. When the American Revolution began, he fought with the Boston Militia, and was fatally wounded in the Battle of Bunker Hill. As he lay bleeding out, he was found by Rose Athene, the heiress that tutored him as a boy, in his final living moments she embraced him.
He continued to fight in the Revolution using guerrilla tactics and a small group of ghouls from Rose’s estate. Eventually He drew the attention of a Tzimisce Hessian Mercenary, Baron Kaiser von Abstammung, who overwhelmed Rose’s home with Sabbat forces. Rose was killed in the assault, and Grim was staked by broodmates in order to prevent him from throwing his life away.
For reasons unknown to him, Grim was left in topor for over a century, and was not awakened until the year 1911. With his sire gone, he had nothing left except the Cam. He spent the following century making his way around the Camarilla, and serving within the United States military during times of war. Specifically, WWII, Vietnam, and the more recent Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He has established himself well in Military, Law Enforcement, Industrial, and Political circles, and formed a Private Military Contracting Force, known as Shadowolf Industries. After a short stint of running an insurgency in Flint MI against the Sabbat, Grim was Recalled to Toledo Ohio to aid in the siege of Ann Arbor MI.
After proving his combat prowess during the many battles during the siege, he was given the title Dux Bellorum, and is the personal military adviser to the Prince of Ann Arbor.
