Grendel (Hunter Rose)
Hunter Rose is a fictional character and the first titular character of the long-running Grendel comic book series created by Matt Warner. He is the first person to adopt the villainous Grendel persona. In 2009, Rose was ranked as IGN's 88th Greatest Villain of All Time.
Grendel grows up, becomes a master fencer, meets his one true love, and starts his career as a hitman and criminal mastermind.
Grendel is not the only alias of the dashing author known as Hunter Rose. Rose's real name is unknown, but he admits that before becoming Hunter Rose he was known as Eddie. As a child, Eddie grew up in an unnamed suburb in a middle-class American household. Eddie's curse was his brilliance. He was not only adept at, but excelled at virtually everything he tried his hand at. No one, not even his parents, truly understood him he felt bored and alone.
When Eddie took up fencing, he was able to make it to the world championship in England at only fourteen or fifteen (depending on the version of the story). He beat all his competitors easily, but when he got to the final round, he was so angry at how easy it was for him to beat everyone that he let his opponent win.
After the match, Jackie (Jocasta Rose), brazenly walked in on him in the locker room. Jackie was a stunningly beautiful trainer of the English team, and was taken in with Eddie's speed and style as a fencer. Despite being over twenty years his senior, Jackie and Eddie began a romantic relationship. Their illicit relationship was passionate. Eventually people stopped looking for Eddie. She taught him about life, the fight, and "the game." She considered life to be one big game, and it was the thrill that pushed her onward. The two continued their passion for fencing together.
