[edit] Family
The Garadex (or Grady, as they are currently known) family has a curse placed upon it. At any time in their teenage years, a Grady child can turn into a werewolf. In the time of Grubbs,the curse's origins are unknown. It is later revealed in the fourth book of the series Bec that many years before, when the demons invaded, their clan, The MacGrigors, had bred with lesser demons, thus creating a lycanthropy gene that could appear in any member of the clan. Bec was part of this clan, so it is possible that she is very distantly related to Grubbs.
[edit] Close Family
Cal Grady
Cal is Grubbs father and Dervish's brother. It appears that he is happily married to Sharon, his wife, but it turns out that while visiting Dervish in Carcery Vale he had a one night stand with a local woman, resulting in the birth of Bill-E.
Sharon Grady
Sharon was Grubbs mother. She didn't like visiting Dervish, which is why Cal often went alone. She insisted calling her children by their real names. Not much else is known about her, but she was very good at chess.
Gretelda 'Gret' Grady
Gret was Grubb's only sister. She was infected with the family curse and was killed along with her parents by lord loss and his familiars
Dervish Grady is Grubbs' uncle who reveled the truth about demonsand the family curse to him. He adopted Grubbs after his parents died and told him about the diciples, the lambs, Lord Loss, his parents death and Billy Spleen. He was Grubbs partner when thay saved Billy.
Bill-E Spleen
Billy Spleen (also known as Bill-E) is Grubbs half brother. He believes Dervish is his father. He sufferd the same disease that killed Gret Grady. Dervish and Grubbs saved his life but he only found out a few months later. He has a lazy eye.
[edit] Powers
Grubbs Grady is a practicing mage. He has large amounts of power at his fingertips, even when demons are not around . He was even able to hide his magic when Dervish probed into his brain, something that was meant to be impossible. The exact extent of his powers is unknown, but he was able to severely wound Lord Loss in Slawter while Dervish has hardly injured Lord Loss. Dervish believed he might be magician like Beranabus or Bartholomew, but he found no evidence of this. He has shown great cunning, emphasised in his chess match with Lord Loss. When he realized that the demon master was destroying him, he put on a happy facade and defeated him. Although he wasn't as good as chess as him, even though he was very able, he only won through cunning out side of the game.
Due to this immense power, it is has been speculated that, like Kernel Fleck, Grubbs is part of the Kah-Gash without Beranabus knowing, but this has not been confirmed.
[edit] Appearances
Grubbs is the main protagonist of the series. He has narrated Lord Loss and Slawter and it has been confirmed that he will narrate Blood Beast and book 6.
