Gram gained power by enslavement and selling his blood as the drug Amrita in the hope to gain enough influence to take down Carla. However, his mansion was raided by Carla Cromwell and Marika Krishna. Able to flee at first, he tried to entrap Carla at a later point. However, even his plan failed and near Hayato Private Academy, he was seemigly killed by the combined powers of Cara Cromwell Marika Krishna, Uehara Kitae, and Kamimura Azuma. Vampire Hunters, which were allied with Vlad Kingdom.

However, again he was able to survive by moving his body into Yamakawa Yoshiki, a teacher of the Academy, which died in the process. Now getting closer to the women that defeated him, he turned Uehara Kitae into one of his slaves with the help of his addictive blood and "bugs", a parasite he uses to erase memories and enhance lust. As Kitae became his slave unnoticed by the others, she supported him in secret and depending on route either Marika Krishna or Kamimura Azuma became his next target until Carla Cromwell also became his slave. Depending on route, either Azuma is killed or all four women become his pregnant slaves. Using Carla Cromwell as a figurehead to gain more power in both Hayato Private Academy and Vlad Kingdom.
