Mental characteristics
Personal history
Grimm’s existence began in chaos, born from the bloodshed of angels during Lucifer’s rebellion. He was a product of the war between Heaven and Hell, an embodiment of the conflict that divided them. Despite this, God allowed Grimm to remain in Heaven after the rebellion.
He resided in a house far from the other angels, who considered him impure. As the years passed, Grimm felt increasingly trapped by his circumstances. He fled Heaven, venturing to Earth, but the experience was disheartening. He found no solace among humans; their world felt foreign and unwelcoming. Disillusioned, he ultimately made his way to Hell, a place that seemed to welcome the lost and broken. It was there that he met Lucifer, who offered him refuge and a sense of purpose.
Sexuality
Grimm's sexual orientation leans towards being pansexual. He is open to connections and relationships with individuals regardless of their gender, drawn more to their personalities and emotional depth than traditional classifications.
Education
Living in isolation in Heaven, he found solace in books, often spending long hours immersed in scriptures and literature. He read texts about celestial beings, the history of the rebellion, and moral philosophies that shaped the beliefs of the angels.
When he fled to Earth, Grimm encountered human knowledge and culture. He observed and absorbed everything he could—human philosophies, literature, and even folklore.
In Hell, he read texts on demonology, the intricacies of power struggles among the denizens of Hell, and the philosophies espoused by various factions within the underworld.
Employment
Grimm serves as the death deity of the Christian pantheon, overseeing the transition of souls from the mortal realm to the afterlife. His primary role involves managing an organization known as the Reapers, a group of souls he has collected and trained to assist him in his duties.

Mental Trauma
Born from the bloodshed of angels, he represents a conflict that the celestial beings cannot fully accept. This constant reminder of his origin leaves him feeling like an outcast.

As a death deity, Grimm also carries the burden of guiding souls. He witnesses the suffering of others and feels responsible for ensuring their peace in death
