Was rambling to my friend and then boom a backstory for grim formed.
So in show as you all know, colossus and him do have beef but that’s because grim wanted to be captain so let’s take that, and twist it a little.
Failed business/salesman grim made a wicked deal that blew up in his face when he doubled crossed his partners and they wanted him dead. So to avoid death he stole a yacht and set a course out to sea, hoping to land in Europe. He got caught up in a storm that whisked his ass off to neverland.
That’s where he met captain colossus, who was kind enough to offer him a place on his ship. Ofc no businessman wants to be on the bottom, he wanted to be on top where the gold and riches were. He wanted to be captain.
So he climbed the ranks via, getting fellow men killed by “accident” to reduce competition and by proving himself resourceful in certain situations and perils, which impressed colossus both in a professional way and also in a more romantic way..
Yes Captain colossus was falling in love. Grim could see that, so he leaned into leading colossus on. Little short kisses and hints of flirting. And they grew closer, so much so that they did have sex yes, but it wasn’t enough. After all the first mate was still around and he knew grim’s game and tried to kill him before he can go further. Unfortunately he evaded every attempt and his (the first mate) death would come when a battle with another crew broke out and grim just watched as the first mate got outnumbered when he could’ve used the weapons on him to aid him. After being colossus’s source of comfort that night he knew he was in the bag
And so that was how he became first mate. However he started to get cocky and a bit too bold so much so he tried to kill colossus a few months later in his sleep and the other man woke up and promptly threw him out and the next day he was exiled to a stranded island, chained to a tree and left to rot.
He got out (eventually, with some broken bones) obviously, but Ofc when you go sometime with out food or water or companionship delusion combined with his hatred and humiliation had driven him “a bit” insane. He began to make out shapes and forms within the darkness and shadows, communicating with them alongside training and waited for the next ship to stop by…
That day came when it was storming with the fog so strong that you could barely see. Grim took this opportunity and what he learned from the shadows and teleported onto the ship, unfortunately for that captain and their crew of four they were now just skeletons of the neversea.
His infamy has grown overtime and he still makes crews weary when heavy fog rolls in you never know if you’ll be the next victim of the grim buccaneer.
