Naturally, it doesn't work out that way; he ends up either being eaten by a Beowolf or killed by one of their human disciples. After the world is saved, Weiss finds out that she's the world's richest woman, as well as a global hero. Grim cultists? There's a thought.

Although I feel like while Weiss' dad is going to figure in as a major antagonist, he won't be the Big Bad. However, I think the Grim will show up very little as antagonists until near the end of the series. Up until then, the conflicts are going to be more personal and based on character development.
