**History**

Grigio was born in Franklin, Maryland, United States on September 24, 2001 AD. He is the second of three children.

In June 2016, Connor Banjoper introduced him, as well as the other Banjoper-designed Blaze characters to Blaze the Cat - as well as Colette the Mouse. They all became friends and developed the Blaze the Cat franchise.

Grigio and the other Blaze characters helped Blaze protest SEGA putting her in "Team Sonic Racing" in 2019.

In 2021, he was on Blaze's team at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games. He came in 7th place in the fencing event. He also helped Blaze win the road cycling event by modifying her bicycle. Grigio teamed with Calla the Butterfly in the badminton tournament.

Grigio was also chosen to be Barhamsville's surfer in the surfing competition. However, he only had a 15-second run due to Team Sonic covering his surfboard with grease to sabotage Blaze's team. Fortunately for him (but unfortunately for Team Sonic), the International Olympic Committee found out about Team Sonic's plan and gave Grigio a second chance, where he stood on the surfboard for 2 minutes and 26 seconds.

Grigio was also in the soccer tournament, where he helped Blaze's team win the championship.

After the Olympics, Grigio - as well as the other Blaze characters - officially launched the Blaze the Cat franchise and became very successful. At one point in 2022, he was asked by the President of the United States to help teach the U.S. Navy Band how to play Gabon's national anthem, "La Concorde".
