==Biography==
==Powers and Techniques==
 
The earliest information known about Grimmwood is that he saved Karegina Palsett from a laboratory that forced people to awaken their own [[Drive|Drives]], and she would later serve under him as part of his squadron in the NOL.
 
===Spiral Shift===
 
Towards the end of the Ikaruga Civil War, the Ninth Squadron was placed on the front lines. Here, they received a new member - [[Jin Kisaragi]], and the squadron were immediately deployed as part of an emergency deployment. Their mission was to recover a [[Nox Nyctores]] that [[Sector Seven]] had stolen, but they had arrived at the laboratory two hours late, and were attacked by the corpses inside the facility. After disposing of the necromancer (revealed to be a doll under [[Relius Clover]]’s control) that was moving the corpses, the squadron left the facility.
 
Grimmwood would later tell Jin that [[Tenjo Amanohokosaka]] is the Imperator of the NOL, and that he had a plan to prematurely end the war by finding the object that he believes the war revolves around, and then destroy it (the object in question being [[Kushinada’s Lynchpin]]). Thanks to Karengina, the Ninth Squadron discovered the hidden entrance to Kushinada’s Lynchpin, and Grimmwood ordered that Karengina and [[Hazama|Corporal Honoka]] stay behind. The unit discovered ancient writings, and Grimmwood believed the enemy they are searching for to be responsible for distributing weapons to the NOL, Sector Seven, and Ikaruga. After being urged to go deeper into the facility by Jin, the squadron were separated from the former.
 
Inside the area, the Ninth Squadron were ambushed by [[Meifang Lapislazuli]] and the Wings of Justice division of the NOL. Three of the squadron’s members were killed, and Grimmwood lost to Meifang’s overwhelming strength. She publicly denounced him as an ally to Kokonoe, and he, in turn, called her a monster. Outraged, Meifang effortlessly decapitated him.


Grimmwood’s death would deeply distress Karengina, and serve as a motivation for Jin to prematurely end the war.
In combat, Grimwood uses a giant axe to fight his opponents, and he is versed in [[Ars Magus]] as a captain of a squad in the frontlines. He demonstrates good leadership and military capability, and is aware of both the strengths and weaknesses of those under his command. Despite all his strengths, he was still nowhere near a match for Meifang, who had left their encounter without even so much as a scratch.

*In the [[Polls/BlazBlue 10th Anniversary Character Popularity Poll|BlazBlue 10th Anniversary Character Poll]], Grimwood placed 76th out of the 84 candidates, sharing the position with [[Drei]]. He scored one place above [[Souichiro Unomaru]] and one place below [[Avenge]]. He had 8 votes.
**As of this poll, with Drei, Grimwood is the second most unpopular character in the series. He is, however, the most unpopular character in the ''BlazBlue'' franchise, and the most unpopular novel-exclusive character.
*When Jin confronted [[Meifang Lapislazuli]] in ''[[BlazBlue: Variable Heart]]'' with [[Mai Natsume]], Grimwood was one of the people he was thinking about.
