## Story

The Grandmaster Hotel! Elegant music softly echoing through the lavish halls. Radiance and beauty at every turn. The facility is impeccable, spotless, and perfect all thanks to the masterful concierge and hotelier: Earl Grey Cookie. Satisfying even the most difficult of guests, Earl Grey Cookie's finesse and expertise originate from the core of his very dough, gently kneaded to retain the aromatics of Earl Grey tea. Such an establishment must remain pristine and maintain perfection! Scrutinize all you want, you will never find a smudge on the window or a dust bunny in the corner. Ring the bell and within a flash, he appears without a single change of expression! Our esteemed friend does have a problem with his glasses though...Without his glasses, he can't tell if he's conversing with a Cookie or a piece of furniture! Let's hope he never misplaces them!

## In events

Witness the Might of The Seas!*This article has some major story spoilers! Are you brave enough to **witness** it?*
### A Dangerous Exchange

Earl Grey Cookie first appears when GingerBrave and his friends arrive at the Grandmaster Hotel, introducing himself as the hotelier. He offers them a room free of charge, and escorts them to it before informing them of dinner and departing. Earl Grey Cookie later arrives to help after GingerBrave and his friends are trapped in the hotel's basement, stating that he had come to look for them after they did not arrive to the dinner buffet. They explain to him that Chess Choco Cookie told them they cannot leave until they beat the two of them in a game of chess, and Earl Grey Cookie offers his assistance, explaining the rules of the game and making moves for them.

Earl Grey Cookie starts the game without issue until he gets distracted when Zombie Cookie's feet make a mess on the chessboard, which he stops to clean. From there, he becomes more and more distracted, stopping to clean grime and dust off the chess pieces as they play. After GingerBright tells him to stop cleaning to focus on the game, he removes his glasses, but only makes more mistakes from there due to his nearsightedness. He mistakes Strawberry Cookie for a Pawn and GingerBright for a Knight, which results in both of them being captured. After this, they take a brief break from the game and Earl Grey Cookie is convinced by them to put his glasses back on. He also reveals during this time that he learned to play chess from some one precious to him, most likely Chess Choco Cookie themselves.

After the break, they return to the game, and manage to check Chess Choco Cookie's Queen. Despite things looking up, the tides of the game quickly shift after Chess Choco Cookie suddenly switches to an aggressive strategy. Despite the fact they have not yet lost, Earl Grey Cookie states that the game is unwinnable and they must forfeit, as forfeiting in chess is a formality if a loss is inevitable. GingerBrave argues, believing that they can still win if he manages to move to the other side of the board, where he can become a Queen, but Earl Grey Cookie still insists they must forfeit, which prompts GingerBrave to break the rules of chess to topple the King himself. This infuriates Chess Choco Cookie, causing them to begin making a mess of the chessboard. GingerBrave and his friends make their escape, calling out to Earl Grey Cookie to run, but he refuses, stating that he is the hotelier of the Grandmaster Hotel, so he must stay there.

After GingerBrave and his friends escape, Chess Choco Cookie and Earl Grey Cookie are seen talking in a final cutscene in which Earl Grey Cookie apologizes for not being able to provide more assistance, blaming himself for their loss. Chess Choco Cookie, however, tell him that the game over with and they have new plans in mind; they tell him to follow them, and he states that he shall.

### Super Fashion Week

Earl Grey Cookie appears in Chocolate Bonbon Cookie's Week 2 cutscene, arriving to her boutique while Truffle Cookie is visiting. He explains that he has come to request two orders from her: one is the same order that he always makes, and another order of smaller outfits, which he has states also ordered from her before. Chess Choco Cookie remarks that it would be more accurate if she could take measurements for the twins in person, but he replies that the two of them are busy elsewhere, so they could not join him. Later, she asks him and Truffle Cookie for advice on her latest design, and both him and Truffle Cookie agree that while the design is wonderful, they cannot imagine Sour Belt Cookie wearing it, and Chocolate Bonbon Cookie thanks them for their help.

### Labyrinth of Remembrance

Earl Grey Cookie briefly appears in a flashback to a scene from **A Dangerous Exchange**, in which GingerBrave topples the King to win the game of chess.

## Trivia

* Prior to the Pudding Cup Circus update, Earl Grey Cookie would always give Crystals as a daily gift.
* Earl Grey Cookie's Cookie Trial map contains an obstacle which appears to be a closet containing many copies of the same white suit that he wears, as if he owns multiple copies of the exact same suit.
	+ This is later confirmed to be the case in Chocolate Bonbon Cookie's Week 2 Cutscene of Super Fashion Week, as well as through Chocolate Bonbon Cookie's relationship dialogue; both of these also indicate that Chocolate Bonbon Cookie is the creator and tailor of his many suits.
* Earl Grey Cookie and Chess Choco Cookie were featured on the official Cookie Run Youtube Channel in a Bake My Day video together.
	+ Notably, it seems to portray Earl Grey Cookie as having a parental or caregiver relationship to Chess Choco Cookie, though the exact circumstances of this relationship are unknown, as they seemed to have no one to care for them before meeting Dark Enchantress Cookie.
* Earl Grey Cookie claims that the Grandmaster Hotel was built solely to trap GingerBrave and company at the end of **A Dangerous Exchange**, but this appears to have been retconned since then, as the aforementioned Bake My Day places Earl Grey Cookie as the caretaker of the Grandmaster Hotel several seasons before meeting Chess Choco Cookie and becoming their caretaker.
	+ It is possible that the original quote was intended to be specifically about the hotel's basement in which Chess Choco Cookie trap GingerBrave, rather than the entire Grandmaster Hotel itself, though this is purely speculation.
