Biography[]
- Manual biography
A mentally shattered veteran of the invasion of Stroggos, Private Nathan Grunt is still fighting a war that ended years ago.
- Profile
Grunt suffered a lot in the Strogg war. He has a lot of righteous anger built up inside of him. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, his ability to tell friend from foe suffered a lot too. From his perspective, they are all foes now and they all gotta die.[1]
- Prima Guide biography
Those lousy Stroggs. Sure, they were the enemy, but there was no reason for them to kill off the rest of Grunt's fire team like that. Even that worthless lieutenant didn't deserve to die that way. Now it's time for all the Stroggs to pay. Unfortunately for everyone else in the area, Grunt can no longer tell Strogg foes from the rest of the world. Grunt is ready to kill anything that stands in his way, and at this point, he thinks anything moving is standing in his way.
Despite his desire to kill anything in his path, Grunt is more likely than most to seek out methods to keep himself healthy. He's a wizard with the railgun and loves using it more than anything else. However, he'll happily settle for a rocket launcher. His comments tend to be short and to the point.
