## Biography

Gray Evan Hollister was a blacksmith in the late 1400s and early 1500s, his wife Emily got pregnant in late 1508 and during one of his smithing sessions he was killed by a disgruntled customer and left for dead in his forge before his wife and daughter were also brutally slaughtered. This seemed to be the end for Gray but he later woke up in Heilvania and was given a proposition by Satan and Death to become Heilvania's personal blacksmith.

He accepted on the conditions that he can raise his daughter and be with his wife, the two agreed, and Gray continued to work for many years, after so many years he started to gain many demon qualities and continued his work. On occasion asking Satan and Death for an update on their deal and would usually get a beating and his time set back. When Blackjack and TinySatan became the king and queen, Gray went to them and they granted his wish, allowing Emily and Destiny to live with him.

Emily quickly left him for not letting it happen sooner and tried to take Destiny with her, but Gray wouldn't let it happen, royalty siding with Gray and causing Gray and Emily to split up and Gray having Destiny to himself.

Throughout the years, Gray would craft many items, including the Guardian Armor, Raphael, Zachariah, Queen's Gambit, and The Wings of Heaven. He would also help craft BOB's Replacement Chassis, Last Whisper, Cutting Edge, The Ashen Cutter, and many other things. He also helped Snowflake and Georgia decode the ancient Heilvanian scripture in a cave that informs them of the six keys needed to defeat Gothic.
