## Enemies

### Griselda

Griselda was Grimlock's wife, they were happily married and never had a fight. Griselda was a typical wife, who always made dinner for her husband and Grimlock was happy the way things were. However, things changed when the two of them ended up trapped in the SAO. Griselda ended up being the leader of their Guild, Golden Apple, and as she became more independent, she was constantly too busy to cook her husband's meals like she used to do. Grimlock saw this shock to his routine as an act of betrayal and it drove him to despair, to the point he killed her, believing that it was the only way to preserve the memory of the person she used to be.

### Kains

Kains was a member Golden Apple, as well as a friend of Grimlock's. As Griselda's husband, Grimlock wasn't on Kains' list of suspects, and as such he was manipulated by Grimlock into believing Schmitt was responsible. Grimlock even helped Kains and Yolko by forging the blades used in their ruse to get Schmitt to confess. But, unbeknownst to them, Grimlock was using them in order to gather Kains, Yolko and Schmitt together so he could have them killed, as he was actually Griselda's killer as was afraid of getting caught.

When Kains found out that Grimlock was Griselda's killer, and for a stupid reason, Kains lost his respect for Grimlock, and refused to speak to him when Grimlock tried to have Kains back up his motivation. When Grimlock was defeated, Kains took Grimlock behind a tree, along with Yolko and Schmitt, and beat him to death, avenging Griselda.

### Kazuto Kirigaya

Kirito was absolutely disgusted with Grimlock. Originally, Kirito thought Grimlock killed his wife for the profits, but when he found out that he killed her for such a petty reason Kirito was shocked that someone could kill someone over something so stupid. Kirito tried to give Grimlock a emotionally fuelled speech about how he wasted his love for Griselda, but Grimlock wasn't fazed.

### Asuna Yuuki

Asuna was tasked with retrieving Grimlock when Kirito deduced his guilt, but when Asuna tried to captive him, he "wasn't very cooperative" and as such Asuna was late for their arrival during Kirito deduction speech. After Kirito's verbal deconstruction of Grimlock didn't faze him, Asuna broke Grimlock's ego by telling him his hat made him look like a hipster.
