Edward Grimm is lost. He woke up with no memory at the top of Mt Fuji in Japan on July 18th, 2020. He had nothing except the clothes on his back, a mysterious key, a sword with a gun imbued into the blade, and a missing arm. He knew nothing except how to speak english, and his name, and left the forest in search of civilization. In his search, he made a mistake. August 23rd, 2020, he tried to rob a house, as he was starving and did it out of necessity, but something went wrong, and the family living inside were killed. Ashamed, he ventured back into the forest, where he found shelter in a cave. In this cave, he was attacked by a gang of men who resembled his general dress, but spoke a language he did not understand. On one of their corpses, he found a note, reading "Grimm has been located in the Yamato territory, now called Japan. Find him, and bring him to me, dead or alive. -Lancelot." He knew nothing of this Lancelot, but after reading the note, a vision appears in front of him. A flickering image of a woman dressed in armour. She seems frantic, running to him and hugging him tightly, but realizing he didn't know who she was. She spoke the same language as the men who attacked him, Grimm didn't understand. She eventually fizzled out, appearing to have been just an image. After this encounter, Grimm firmly decided to look for civilization. He found the city of Tokyo, near the mountain. During his time living there he learned Japanese, the common tongue, and got a number of jobs.

After completing this first job, where he almost burned to death in a car, but was saved by the blacksmith Kody Creighton. During their time at the nearby hospital, they bonded, and became friends. However, when Kody's close friend, and child figure, Alexis Veir was retrieved by his parents, there was a scene in the hospital room. Revealing their powers to the boy's parents, the 3 tried to convince Alexis' parent's that what they did was a good thing, but the parent's were not happy. After several threats were made, they were ushered out of the room by a nurse, but in the confusion, Edward attempted to rescue Alexis through a window using his grappling hook, but missed, and accidentally broke into the wrong window, and had to go into hiding because the police were searching for him. Eventually, he was retrieved by Kody, and went back to Tennessee to live with the blacksmith, for the time being.

During his second job, he met and became quick friend with assassin Parzival, who unfortunately met his end in the same mission. To honour his friend, he took the weapon of Parzival, and engraved the pistol to remember the man. During this mission, he also learned his proficiency with guns, and decided to train with the gun in between missions.

During his sixth job, he was almost put in jail for life, after being caught in a governmental plot to recover an operative gone AWOL, Edward assisted in helping the woman escape, which almost got him caught by the FBI. He's lucky he still isn't legally a person.

During his ninth job, he finally got vengeance on a man he'd been wanting to kill for 2 months. Edward didn't kill Leo the Star, but he died anyways. He did, however, lose a friend in the process, the robot/stoner/genius called Derrick Einstein.

After his 13th game, he was introduced to Sara Gause Viper. A girl staying with Kody for a bit. She helped him build his companion, Aetherwing the Mechanical Dragon, usinging metal, leather, and a little bit of magic, and became his close friend, and perhaps even daughter.

It was shortly after this Kody returned with heavy news. Alexis died. At the hand of Kody, Alexis died.

In cost of a favour for Edward, he was enslaved to a mysterious entity called the librarian for a year, during this time Kody had proposed via communication with their mutual friend, comrade, and brother Jeremy Wesley. Released after this time, he lived briefly in Pidgeon Forge once again, before leaving in the dead of night as part of a series of dramatic events with The Powers That Be.
