### Status

Active

**Greg**, commonly referred to as **Uncle Greg**, is an adult Griffon from Griffinstone. He's the husband of Gerson, the adoptive uncle of Gabby, and one of Grandpa Gruff's adoptive children.

Because his job as a veterinarian requires long shifts, Greg usually isn't home, leaving Grandpa Gruff to take care of Gabby. However, he still gets to spend time with his niece on weekends, day-offs, snow days, and vacations.

## Personality

Greg is cautious and overly dramatic. He is more emotional and high-strung than his husband. Gerson, who frequently needs to get Greg to relax when he gets overemotional while watching Gabby grow up. Greg also tends to worry about Gabby being safe at all times at a higher intensity than Gerson. Despite this, Greg knows when to be serious, which is mostly shown when he deals with his husband's wisecracking and when he reads the latter's draft work, always commenting to go a little easy on the content to make it a bit more friendly towards younger readers, especially when Gabby is present, only to be met with a response that that's what the censors are for.

Greg is a sports fanatic; he is a fan of buckball and is seen playing squash. Like the rest of his family, Greg is baseball mad. He loves playing with his mates, even playing an amateur version with his father and siblings, and later with his husband and niece. At least part of the love Greg has for baseball came from playing it with his father and siblings as a family.

He is generally upbeat and emotionally intelligent, listening to Gruff's uncertainty about attending family events (feeling he's interfering) and trying to alleviate his worries while ensuring him he *is* part of the family. Overall, Greg is a good role model who values hard work and can offer a level-headed perspective to an extent when the rest of his family gets a bit crazy.

## Appearance

Grey has a dark purplish-grey coat, light grey underbelly and tail, slightly lighter colored wings, and has small markings on the side of each of his eyes. He also has very fluffy bangs and dark golden beak and talons. He's sometimes seen with a stethoscope around his neck, to indicate he's a vet. As a cub, he has light grey baby spots on his legs and face.

## Relationships

### **Gerson**

He is shown to get along relatively well with his husband. Gerson commonly tries to calm Greg down when he gets too emotional. The couple are shown to have similar hobbies and enjoy each other's company, rarely being seen without each other. They love each other dearly, as shown by their numerous pet names for each other and how Greg always looks to Gerson when he needs help. He seems to be very attached to Gerson, valuing his marriage with him, as nearly every time Gerson takes Gabby out — whether to accompany him to the marketplace, go to Gallus and Grandpa Gruff's place, or just go for a walk —, Greg believes Gerson is ending the matrimony.

### **Gabby**

Greg cares relatively deeply for Gabby. He tucks her in bed every night, unless she is having a sleepover at Gallus and Grandpa Gruff's house. He has memorized all of the needs (earplugs, an inhaler, and allergy medications, among other things). Since he is the chef of the house, Greg always packs lunch for Gabby everyday.

### **Genji-Liú Gūan**

Genji-Liú is one of Greg's adoptive sisters. He and the other cubs were happy when Gruff brought her home and were excited to get a new friend to play with. He gets along well with her. During adulthood, they tend to annoy each other from time to time, but still have a good relationship all in all.

### **Graciela**

Graciela is another one of Greg's adoptive sisters. Greg gets easily annoyed by Graciela's absent mindedness (if not moreso than everyone else), as much as the latter gets annoyed by the former's occasional sarcasm. Much to Gruff's irritation, the two often engaged in cat fights towards each other as children over trivial things like ice cream or simply because they were not supposed to. Despite this, he and Graciela have a good relationship, and are able to have fun together as family.

## Skills

**Healing Power:** He was taught how to use ninjitsu to heal himself and others using a special technique by Grandpa Gruff. It was effective in slowing down his guardian's bleeding long enough to get to an actual treatment.

**Glyph Magic:** It is implied that Gruff taught Greg alongside other Griffons, how to use certain aspects of glyph magic as the latter is seen using plant glyphs during the battle against Arimaspi and his minions.

**Baseball:** Greg is a highly skilled baseball player. It is likely that he was a baseball champion, given the fact that there are baseball trophies, medals, awards, and several pictures that show him playing on the field scattered around his family's house. It is implied that Greg taught his niece Gabby how to play the sport.

**Bat Mastery:** Thanks to his experience in baseball and his martial arts training from Grandpa Gruff, Greg is capable of utilizing his baseball bat in fights, using it as a blunt force weapon to severely injure opponents. This is demonstrated during Arimaspi's attack, when he's able to take down a number of his minions using a baseball bat found in evidence.

## Trivia

* Greg's birthday is on June 8th.
	+ He and Gerson have the same birthday.

* In the first draft of The Gruff Family, Greg and Gerson were actually related to Gabby. Additionally, Gabby's parents were alive and had demanding jobs out of town, so she'd never really see them, and would stay with her uncles while Grandpa Gruff and a few other adults around Griffinstone would take turns looking after her during her parents' absence. Parts of this idea were scrapped a few months later.
* Greg is shown to love baseball.
	+ He's shown playing it as a cub with his family.
	+ He used to play baseball with his friends when he was in college and is even implied having been a baseball champion at some point but eventually had to stop (or not do as often) as he had been too busy with parenting and his job as a veterinarian.
	+ He is still able to play but is obviously not as athletic as he used to be.
	+ Now that Gabby is older, he’s finally gotten back into baseball each Tuesday lunchtime with some of his colleagues.
* Greg was a picky eater when he was a baby and would only eat his food if Gruff pretended the spoon was a zeppelin flying around.
* According to Gerson, he is open to having a second child, though Gerson isn't sure of the idea.
* He meditates for an hour every morning.
* Given the fact that Greg is the foster brother of Gunnar, Graciela, and Gabriel, he is indirectly, amongst others, Gilda, Gavin, and Gallus' adoptive uncle.
