Background: Fond of black clothes, heavy metal and Marilyn Manson, Michael had the ferocity of a born misfit. Despite a natural aptitude for computers, Michael preferred smashing things. Anything. He channeled this desire into a rather impressive career as a heavy metal drummer for black metal band called "TripleSixxx". His natural energy combined with the stunning vocals of the band's lead singer Shadowvayne, soon made Triplesixxx a hit on the Black metal scene.

Unfortunately, Michael developed a crush on Shadowvayne. A crush she met with indifference. The tension built and built until Michael couldn't take it anymore. In a methanphetemine and sexual frustration fueled rage he smashed he smashed his kit to pieces during a performance hurling the wreckage at the singer, the rest of the band, the audience and beat himself bloody with his own drum stand. And with each blow his body grew and grew...

After the demise of TripleSixxx, Michael found himself unable to get work. No one wanted a drummer that might put them in hospital. Not to mention the damage to his skull had left him scarred. Savage headaches and twitchy reflexes destroyed his drumming skills. Michael fell into a depression, locking himself away and playing online video games for months. But he had gotten something from the deal. His MR Node expanded and grew across the damaged portions of his brain, increasing his natural strength and toughness to superhuman levels and gifting the now gigantic drummer with instinctual control of electricity and magnetism.

Belial found the Michael and took pity on him, also seeing some use in the giant's sheer physical power. Now "Grimskull" lives in Belial's basement, sampling all the newest and most savage music he can find and occasionally venturing out with his buddy. When Grimskull goes out, things break. And that's the way he likes it. He knows nothing about the greater plans of the Church and couldn't care less. As long as he treated with respect and gets to take out his frustration on something warm and screaming, he doesn't give a damn about anything else. .

Appearance: Grimskull was once a passably handsome young men with messy brown hair, a quick smile who dressed mostly in black jeans and t-shirts for popular heavy metal bands. Now he is a huge ugly mass of flab, nearing 400 pounds with a distorted balding head and pudgy face. He still dresses in black though with a leather jacket emblazoned with an inverted pentagram. His hand twitch constantly and he smells of sweat and old food. Grimskull's speech is peppered liberally with profanity and expressions like "dude!" He is loud, as if that makes up from the slurred voice his adventure with drum stand left him with.
