Appearance
Grinch is a pale-skinned young man with brown messy hair. His eyes bear a dark brown color. He wears an expensive, pitch-black, double breasted suit, over a pinstriped white shirt closed around the neck by a blood-red tie and a polished, black shoes. Among the young girls, Grinch is widely reputed as a handsome man.

Personality


Grinch is a charismatic, fun-loving, happy-go-lucky, a cheery and a lighthearted person. He is compassionate, very loyal, loving and caring to his friends. He is known by the guild, mainly because of his comical attitude. He seems to like admitting and sharing stories of little, embarrassing doings that he have made in the guild with his guildmates.

He really likes to trick, usually lie about his friends and other guildmates, especially when they are eating in an attempt to start fun. When Grinch, Lucy, Natsu and Erza was with Kagura on a restaurant, he lied to Kagura that during Fairy Tail's stay on Tenrou Island, their food supply didn't last a while so they were forced to eat cooked insects and exotic food found on the island in which Kagura finds disgusting.



He shows great talent, not only on sketching, but on singing songs and playing the guitar, provided that he owns a personal one. His good singing voice makes him perform every Saturday night by himself, sometimes with Lucy and, or Erza, seldomly with Mirajane. According to Lucy and Erza, he is a good person and would make a good boyfriend for both of them. He usually tend to respond or answer to them by singing a part of a song, or making his own song as a response.



His positive outlook and a general, good attitude resulted into Erza being his first girlfriend in both of the anime and manga. Their relationship only lasted about a year and six months, and it ended because of Jellal's return. Then, his second and current girlfriend is Lucy Heartfilia, proven by the fact that she seduced him in order to get him have some 'intimate moments with her' at a hot spring in a luxurious inn, in which Grinch agreed upon. They have been together for two years and counting.



Grinch has shown his strong sense of morality and heroism. He tends to criticize the immoral policies of Magic Guilds. This example of this trait was when Yukino was excommunicated for losing against Kagura. After she visits Lucy's place, she left crying on the streets. Grinch approached console her and promised that he will avenge her and put an end Sabertooth.



When he allows his negative emotions to get the best of him, he shows his vengeant, sadistic, vile, cruel, heartless and antagonistic personality on the perspective of both of his friends and enemies. He will kill mercilessly, ruthlessly, and viciously with a smile, and will shows no form of sympathy towards the enemies of Fairy Tail, or his enemies himself. This has earned him a notorious reputation for other guilds, and the attention of dark guilds.



Grinch faced against Minerva on the Grand Magic Games, where he killed her by stabbing her in the abdomen, shocking the judges, the audiences, the members of Sabertooth and even his guildmates for his act of killing. Having an intention to avenge Lucy, he held Minerva's dead body in a trophy-like manner and disrespected her on her dead body, causing the members of Team Sabertooth to be demoralized, that gave birth on a conflict between Team Fairy Tail A and Team Sabertooth.

Grinch retains a calm demeanor in battle. He tends to hide his emotions underneath a hard face, whether that emotion was either happy or sad. He keeps his negative emotions caused by taunts, or demoralization from being felt until the climax of the battle in order to vent it out on the near end, causing him to show his negative, sadistic personality that might put an end to the life of the opponent he faces. He doesn't smile or exert out positive emotion if he wins a battle. He doesn't boast or gloat about his victory. Instead, he keeps his hard face and walks away, only stopping to remind her opponent of the bet they made, showing he was not the one to patronize his enemy, nor one to celebrate in the face of victory.

History
Grinch was born in the once wealthy, and extremely powerful family, rivaling the Heartfilia family in terms of business and economics. His father was originally a member of the Assassin Order, his mother being a daughter of a prominent merchant in Crocus. After the two met, Grinch's father ended his terms within the Assassins in order to settle down and have a family.

Back in the estate, Grinch shared a very good relationship within the staff. At the age of seventeen, he was bored in waiting for his father's return, who hasn't been returning for years. He eventually learns that his father was killed by Ikaruga, when the Assassins tried to free the slaves of the Tower of Heaven which has eventually led him to leave his family in order to hunt down and kill the members of the Trinity Raven to avenge his father's death.

Equipment
Altaïr's Armor (鎧アルタイルの Yoroi no Arutairu): Grinch's personal, unbreakable suit of armor, the first of the two pieces of his father's heirloom. The armor was designed and constructed using the knowledge obtained from an Apple of Eden. The metal portions of the armor appeared to have a gold tint, while the leather portions were black or dark brown. Unlike most chest plates, which are usually made up of a single piece, the chestplate of the armor appeared to be made up of several overlapping metal guards.

A black cloak accompanied this armor, and seemed to be of a similar cut to a regular assassin's robe. In addition to being black, it was much longer than the one Grinch would normally wear, and was made up of three layers. Each layer was longer than the one above it, and the longest, lower layer was segmented, giving the whole piece a look resembling an eagle's wings. The armor's effects is that it makes a bluish white aura that circle around Grinch when he uses Sword Magic. This aura make him attack more swiftly and hit at his opponents harder.

Prior to the retrieval of Ishak Pasha's armor, this suit of armor that Grinch wore throughout his life after retrieving it from his father's heirloom chest two years ago before the beginning of the series. His father originally intended not to include a set of robes, but Grinch provided the robes during the events two weeks after he have found the armor. According to Cana Alberona, Lisanna Strauss, Mirajane Strauss, Lucy Heartfilia and Erza Scarlet, the classy suit of armor is being complemented by Grinch's handsome looks that fit his positive attitude. Also, they like to see Grinch wear it. Loke and Hibiki Lates dislike the armor, likely because of the fact that it was something that the prominent female members of Fairy Tail really like from Grinch.

Ishak Pasha's Armor (イサークパシャの鎧 Yoroi no Isākupasha): The personal armor of the infamous, feared, but well-respected Ottoman general who visited and died in Crocus, Ishak Pasha. This is a dense armor with inlays of a new and strong metal tough enough to deflect most bullets, projectiles and even magic attacks. Also, the robes of this armor consisted of heavily decorated Arabian or Turkish fabric of orange, brown and dark color.

A mask accompanied this armor, and seemed to be made up of the same metal that is the main composition of this armor. The mask is engraved with Ishak Pasha's face, along with some ornate engravings. The mask bears mystical red jewels that act as lens which glow when Grinch becomes angry, making him go berserk while a bright orange aura begin to circle around him. The jewels make Grinch more agile and powerful in combat as his anger raises. In addition to those effects, this armor is designed to give Grinch significant strength, endurance and agility on battle. Also, the armor also gives him the ability to cast Earth Magic.

According to Erza, the armor has a fearsome reputation among civilians and Fiore Army guards, causing them not to say a word when Grinch wore the armor on the Grand Magic Games out of terror, likely because of the armor's terrifying history, and the one who previously owned it and made up its notorious name.

Sword of Altaïr (アルタイル Ken no Arutairu): Grinch's personal sword, the last piece of his father's heirloom, the other one being Altaïr's armor. The sword was forged from a smooth, shiny silver metal. Its cross guard was shaped like an eagle's wings, with the pommel in the shape of an eagle's head. Along with this, the sword's hilt was wrapped in strong, dark brown leather for gripping. The sword was also stored in a leather scabbard, although this was only used by Grinch's father.
