In-game Appearance
Grandt's first appearance as an NPC is in Raid:X1, his second is in Frontier Rift: Joy to Ashes, and his third and final appearance is in Frontier Rift: Essence of Time.

Background
Grandt is a mercenary hired by the Kingdom of Elysia to kill Draegar, a rampaging warrior that has been augmented by the Mad Tinkerer, Gazia. Grandt sets off to find and kill Draegar, assisted by the Head Mage, Elaina. Grandt and Elaina underestimated the power of Draegar, and are overwhelmed by his boundless strength and combat prowess, fueled even further by his state of insanity. Draegar gouges out one of Grandt’s eyes, and cuts off Grandt’s arm as well. Before Draegar was able to kill Elaina or Grandt, the Summoner appears, and with the help of Elaina and Grandt they manage to force Draegar to retreat. Draegar leaves Elysia, and Grandt swears that he will get revenge on Draegar.

History
After a crushing defeat at the hands of Draegar, Grandt trains vigorously during his every waking moment in order to gain the strength needed to defeat Draegar. Grandt’s training is interrupted when Draegar appears in Elysia once more, tasked with finding Elaina and bringing her to Athensphere so that Gazia can imbue Kranus with her Chronomancy abilities. Draegar casts a spell on Elaina, putting her under his control, and forcing her to open a rift that leads to Athensphere. Grandt attempts to give chase, but the rift closes right before Grandt can follow.

Accompanied by the Summoner, Grandt enlists the help of Nia, Elaina’s apprentice, and a Chronomancer in training. Nia is able to pinpoint Elaina’s location in Athensphere, and opens a rift, teleporting them straight to Elaina. At this point, Gazia has successfully incorporate Elaina’s Chronomancy into Kranus, indicating to the heroes that they are too late. Determined not to leave without a prize, Nia, Grandt, Elaina, and the Summoner team up to kill Draegar. The four heroes manage to overwhelm Draegar, weakening him greatly. In a fit of rage, Elaina chooses to kill Draegar without magic, kicking him brutally over and over. Grandt steps in after some time to stop Elaina, as Draegar had died already, and Elaina was simply kicking his corpse. Elaina opens a rift back to Elysia, where she, Grandt, and Elaina head home. The Summoner bids them farewell, departing in order to defeat the Mad Tinkerer and Kranus once and for all.

Trivia

 * Though Grandt swore that he would be the one to kill Draegar, Elaina was the one who struck the finishing blows on Draegar.
