===Joining Red Squadron===
Shortly after the evacuation of Hoth in 3 ABY,"Rendezvous Point" is set in the aftermath of the Battle of Hoth, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 3 ABY. As such, the events in "Rendezvous Point" must have taken place around that year. Grizz Frix was recruited by Commander Wedge Antilles into the newly reformed Red Squadron, Lieutenant Wes Janson commented that he was another "hothead." On reporting on progress from sim training, Antilles told his superior The Contessa that Frix had no trouble flying in formation but kept breaking formation to chase down targets.
===Protecting the rendezvous point===
Days after Antilles reformed Red Squadron, the squadron was sent on a mission. Frix flew a T-65B X-wing starfighter as Bela Elar's wingmate, alongside Penn Zowlie, in an attack on a nearby pirate base, that threatened the safety of the Alliance's rendezvous point. The squadron succeeded in eliminating the pirates.
===Battle of Endor===
During the Battle of Endor, Frix flew for Red Squadron under the callsign Red Five. He died when his T-65B X-wing starfighter exploded during an attack on an Imperial Star Destroyer.
==Personality and traits==
Grizz Frix was described as a hothead and was shown to be a skilled pilot as he had no trouble flying in formation.
