Azrail Grimm

### Debut

Axel: Spiritual Climax (Episode 29 - You Hate Yourself. Don't You?)Jakob: Spiritual Climax (Episode 69 - Bloodshed. Bloodshed. Bloodshed.)

## Appearance

Grimm is a tall, heavily built man with black hair that has been pulled back, giving him a menacing appearance. He has brown eyes and pale complexion, but when he fights, his eyes turn a brilliant dark purple. Grimm doesn't seem to have aged much despite being in his late 40s.

He is dressed in a black shirt with a skull on it and a grey jacket. He wears black slacks that match the gloves on his enormous hands. He usually fights with a sizable scythe that is black and purple and wears enormous grey boots.

## Personality

Grimm is a psychotic mass murderer who is obsessed with making Pen Gwinn act his worst. Most of the time, he lacks intelligence and doesn't give a damn what people think of him. As long as he gets what he wants out of it, he doesn't really care who he works with or why.

Grimm is destructive and vicious, nearly exclusively interested in fighting and killing for its own sake. He is primarily concerned in developing or eliminating the next Reaper, a deranged murderer who behaves like Grimm. Grimm isn't the brightest guy, but he's spent so much time fighting that he's practically an expert. He frequently chuckles and smiles while fighting, obviously enjoying himself. Grimm also enjoys making fun of and criticizing other people, and he only cares about those that he wants to kill.

He has no emotional self-control, relies heavily on impulses, and is capable of acting erratically if he gets impatient enough. He takes fighting very seriously, so he's remarkably honest when he establishes the terms of a fight. Grimm won't give up or leave a fight until he believes he has prevailed or otherwise proved his point.

## Abilities, Attributes, and Powers

**Incredible Physical Power:** Grimm's strength isn't superhuman, but his stature, muscle bulk, and hard genetics make him extremely physically strong. He can hold an iron grip through fire without running the risk of experiencing natural pain. With the enhancement of his power, he would soon be able to compete with and topple those like Axon.

**Tank-like Durability:** Grimm's body can take a lot while also dealing a lot thanks to his harsh genetics and strength; it can withstand numerous kicks and stabs from Shadowsword, Pen, and Axon. Grimm was nevertheless able to deliver and win some of those fights against opponents who were all at least able to shatter someone's bone with those attacks. This is Grimm's most problematic quality; thanks to his strength, he is frequently referred to as an unstoppable force and an immovable object.

**Gold Standard Weapon and Combat Knowledge:** He travels with a massive, retractable scythe that is black and purple in color. Grimm utilises it as a scythe and a staff when fighting, and he only ever uses it as a staff when he's serious. When he's serious, he stops striking wildly and begins to use more technique, adopting a more cautious stance and increasing the potency of his blows. Although he rarely engages in hand-to-hand combat, he frequently employs boxing tactics, and unless he's serious, his technique also seems sloppy. Even though he frequently swings indiscriminately, one strike deals so much damage that he's able to battle in this manner. Grimm is so committed to fighting that he has a phenomenal battle IQ and is able to recognize an opponent's tactics very fast, often after only seeing them once. Though he may forget some details about his opponents, he nearly never forgets an attack or a strategy.

### Death Hands(Death Domain):

With skin-to-skin contact from the palms of his hands, Grimm's abilities allow him to touch his opponents and devour their life force. He can only touch someone a few times before they ultimately die on the third touch. Despite this, some characters—such as the Spirit Wielders—possess energies that are distinct from those of ordinary people, allowing them to survive longer. For instance, during their battle in episode 47, Shadowsword managed to withstand three touches and survive. Grimm will benefit from consuming other people's energy by recovering from some wounds, getting stronger, and moving faster. He can lift 10 pounds more per touch and moves 30% more quickly. He can also exploit his powers to the utmost extent because his reaction time will adjust to handle his speed. The number of touches he can get from someone is unrestricted, assuming they survive more than three, but there is a cooldown on how frequently he can do it; as a result, he must let go of them before grasping them again. This power is strong, but it's also highly predictable. Once you are aware of what to watch out for, you can successfully avoid it.

### Invulnerabilities:

His power, created from the Empyrium serums of Hanson's design, give Grimm a number of protections. He is aware of when objects hit him and when he is hurt, yet he experiences no pain at all as a result of any wounds. This enables him to withstand the majority of assaults, even those that fracture bones or rip through his skin. Grimm is likewise immune to death, so long as it doesn't originate from a source that is deliberately aggressive. If Grimm is poisoned or unintentionally killed, his body will eventually mend to the point that he can be revived. In a similar vein, the more those things damage him, the less harm nonviolent sources like poisons or the ageing of his body do to him.

## Relationships

#### Dr. Henry Hanson:

Even while Grimm pays attention to Hanson and frequently follows his advice, he always has his own objectives in mind. The two of them just so happen to share the same objectives, and even though Grimm occasionally disobeys Hanson, the latter cannot hold him accountable.

#### Gavino Vuoto:

Gavino is one of the few persons Grimm tolerates because he has no strong feelings about him. He admires Gavino's ability to be smart and ruthless but dislikes the fact that he does not relish killing. One of the only individuals Grimm would allow to hold his scythe is Gavino, who has occasionally pretended to be Grimm.

#### Pen Gwinn:

Grimm believes that Pen is in line to become the next "Reaper" due to his emotional instability, and has a distinct obsession with killing him or being killed by him. Grimm tries his hardest to bring the worst out of Pen, and make him snap. If Pen were to snap and kill Grimm, it's possible he could never go back to being the same person and become similar to Grimm, at least in the right circumstances.

## Trivia

* Grimm originates from a Wattpad story written by the creator's friend, Memachu
* Often when cracking his knuckles, he breaks his fingers. Shortly after his powers will heal the damage
* Grimm was the first person to ever successfully gain a power from the Empyrium serums, and an incomplete version of the serum at that. This means his power is less controlled than what it would be if he had the complete serum, but it has more raw power and potential
* He doesn't like others touching his scythe, and if they do he'll give them one or two warnings. If they try to damage his scythe or keep it from his after that, he'll stop at nothing to kill them
* Grimm is not his real last name, but he can't remember it and doesn't care to
* The series' creator (Axel Anims) has confirmed that Lucas would die from just one of Grimm's touches
* Grimm has the highest kill count of any of Memachu's characters
* He doesn't feel pain from being hit in the head, but it can still make him dizzy
* Although he was being impersonated by Gavino in episodes 29 and 32, most of what he said is accurate to what he would say or do
* If Grimm were killed as a joke, rather than a violent murder, he would also revive. In the same way, Grimm can kill himself and come back to life
