Gren | The Wolf Among Us

[murderpotato]

• Gren is somewhere around 1500-1800 years old. Even he doesn't know exactly how old he is, because he didn't really start keeping track until he ended up in human society. But he's old-- old as balls.


• He has an excellent singing voice. His voice actor, Andrew Chaikin, is also the singer Kid Beyond. Dude's got a smooth set of pipes on him.


• Technically, it's only implied in TWAU (and Beowulf) that Gren has extremely sensitive hearing, and that's why he drinks so much. Normal sound volumes are kind of like jamming a knitting needle into his ear, which explains a lot of his shitty behavior.


• Related to this, Gren absolutely hates New Year's Eve because he's in New York and mother of god just end him. Just end him.


• Being the weird-ass swamp fish gorilla that he is, Gren is an excellent swimmer both in and out of glamour and can hold his breath for like, ever. Sometimes, if shit just starts getting a little too much, he'll go sit at the bottom of whatever body of water is nearest-- even if that's just a bathtub. He can even sleep down there, except for the bathtub thing because he 0% wants Rhys to walk in on that and think he's drowned or something.


• When he's really out of it, he starts speaking in Old English. Like, early Old English. He's pretty much incomprehensible.


• Gren has the tendency to put the needs of the people he cares about waaaay above his own. This is deeply unhealthy and he doesn't give a fuck.


• Really, for all of his tough guy bullshit, he cares about people and justice, beliefs that he's developed over hundreds of years of living with humans, and he gets horrified by Fables doing shit that he used to do a millennium ago. Like, they're supposed to be better than that, they're not supposed to be monsters anymore.


• He's a monster with a pretty okay heart.

Ask me anything else! I have 99 headcanons and whatever you ask is probably one of them.

Are there any aspects of modern society that Gren really likes? Besides the alcohol, I mean.

[murderpotato]

A lot of things about modern society are a lot better than being an asshole fucking around in a swamp. Cars are great, and obviously the alcohol's better, but he also really likes day-time TV soap operas. Like, him and Holly hanging out at the Trip Trap in the afternoon, yelling at the screen like WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE THINKIN', HE DON'T FUCKIN' DESERVE HER. Air conditioning and indoor heating are fucking godsends. Food's better, too, when he can afford it. So yeah, a lot of things about modern society are pretty rad.

.....man, I just got back from a really shitty day at work. So I want you to understand the full depth of the emotion when I tell you the image of Gren yelling at daytime soap opera made me laugh out loud. Thank you. That's awesome.
