When Grimm I began his quest to create the perfect soldier, one of
his first plans was simply to clone himself (the only man he saw as
nearly perfect). To this end he created six clones using a controversial
new cloning method that allowed a clone to age to a certain point very
rapidly, and then stop. To make all his clones even with him, he removed each clone's left eye. Grimm III was the first clone that was truly
successful. He was an exact copy of Grimm in nearly every way, and Grimm hoped
him to be an equal in his army. But it was not to be. Grimm III was far
too perfect a copy of Grimm, and it turned out he was just as
treacherous as his "father." So Grimm III decided to break out on his own. He
caused a disruption in one of Grimm's fortresses and stole a large
amount of
ammunition and other goods, then fled into hiding. At first Grimm
III tried to build up his own mercenary army, basing it on an island
near Victory, but when Rick Radcliff learned of the clone's plan he
destroyed the operation in one swift stroke. Grimm III escaped the
attack and faked his death, going underground. He now works as a "lone
wolf" mercenary, with a very high price tag. He bides his time, taking
jobs where he can find them, certain that he is destined for greater
things.
Grimm III uses his appearance as Grimm I to his advantage at times, so
he tries not to stray too far from it. His attitude is double that of his
clone "father," and he hates working with others, preferring simply to
blow them away with his shotgun. "Three" seems to have contempt for
nearly all life but his own. He wears a specialized suit of armor in the
shape of silvery bones over a red nanofiber mesh suit, and he sports an augmented eye
patch with a built-in camera and laser beam. He is often seen smoking a
large cigar, even though drugs of any kind are illegal in most civilized
countries. Perhaps he does it just to show his rebelliousness, as with
most things. Three has no respect for authority and seemingly no morals, working
only for the highest bidder who will allow him to complete his mission
his own way. This way is usually the most direct, brutal, and ruthless
way imaginable. He has no qualms about putting his own life in danger.
Indeed, he seems to invite death almost as if he desired it. Grimm III's ultimate goal often seems to be the
destruction of as many other people as possible... though he may, in
fact, be searching for another goal. He simply has yet to figure out what
it is.
