Stacy had contacted Argent for help by acting that she was held hostage by Grendel.

When Hunter was out, Stacy found out that Hunter was Grendel, and that he had manipulated the events that lead to her adoption. Argent also grew close to Stacy and with Hunter busy all of the time, he often left Stacy at home with hardly anyone to communicate with including a governess Stacy had later murdered but made look like an accident. Grendel later took his niece Stacy in as Hunter Rose with the publicity helping his next book. When one of his lieutenants Barry Palumbo betrayed him and tried to have him and Argent killed, Grendel has poisoned his drink. At some point he encountered the cursed wolf-man Argent and began a long battle with the creature. Grendel eventually disposed of the Cioccine crime family leaders, installing himself as boss. His activities as Grendel often had him go after targets of the Cioccine crime family, usually in the form of traitors or people with ties that should not be exposed. Hunter's books became best sellers, gaining him fame and prestige among New York's wealthy elite. He also took the name Grendel after the monster from Beowulf, hunting down a mob hitman and taking his job. After the fight was over, Eddie encountered Jocasta Rose, a trainer who he was immediately smitten by despite the near twenty year age gap after she noticed and appreciated his real skills.Īfter Jocasta's death, Eddie took on the name Hunter Rose in memory of her and became a novelist.

However, finding no pleasure in his activities since it all came so easily, he threw a match in London.

Later as he got into fencing, Eddie's abilities had gotten the notice of both his team and the world outside, even defeating much older and more experienced champions. Eddie showed unstable and psychopathic tendencies from an early age, threatening to set his oppressors on fire after dosing them with gas after tampering with the sprinkler system. Originally known as Eddie, the man who became Grendel was a kid picked on by a lot of adults with his parents not even caring less about their son.
