Mostly I just created an antagonist, but he does support my actual theories about the Grim.


 * They have a limited hierarchy over a hive mentality, and he is one of the leaders, if not the Big Bad himself.


 * I speculate that "smoke" is what animates Grim, so he was literally composed of smoke.


 * The suit, the mask, the torches, and the laughter were all artistic touches on my part (the laughter was inspired by the Metallica song "Master of Puppets").


 * And "Graurim" is Sindarin Elvish (from Lord of the Rings) for "Shadow People", so while it isn't necessarily gramatically correct, it does fit my theory about the Grim being a collective mentality.

So while I did do a little speculation and wouldn't be (overly) surprised to see a Big Bad with a few similaritites to my own, mostly I was just getting creative for the purposes of plot development. And it was an excellent plot. Shame, you would make a competent fanfiction writer.
