description:;
Gram keeps himself in reasonably decent physical shape. When a problem is particularly frustrating for him, he runs or works out, occasionally sparring with one of his guards. His face is not unattractive, but many other people find him unnerving at times. His pale green eyes have been described as intense, with a stare that makes one feel as though they are being dissected, examined for worth, and often found wanting. Wrapped in smooth, light olive toned skin, Gram's youth is readily apparent. Oh, and he's blonde.
With a charming demeanour, Gram usually dismisses most of the people he meets, analyzing those who catch his interest, usually manipulating them subtly to get what he wants. He considers himself a good judge of character, but trusts no one. Outwardly, he maintains a calm, inviting, but dignified demeanor. Inwardly, he is suspicious of everything, despising nearly every person he comes into contact with. Humans are, he believes, a species of wasted potential. Gram believes himself superior to your average human and deserving of every advantage he can tear from this world, ultimately in his pursuit of knowledge and the power that comes with it.
Gram is not opposed to killing others, but he prefers not to when he can help it. He would rather manipulate them and turn them into unwitting puppets. In the business world, he has a reputation for being bright, rational, and pragmatic. Highly intelligent, Gram is often thinking about several things at once and he possesses a photographic memory.
His highest priority is usually whatever he's interested in at the moment, which is often one of his technological projects. Gram loves technology and knowledge in general. Although he has the resources to simply hire teams of engineers and scientists to design some of the more complicated technology his companies produce, Gram prefers to do the hard work himself, enjoying the challenge. He often lays the foundation for such projects, before passing it on to one of his company workers to finish once the most difficult part is finished and he has grown bored with it.

Atychiphobia. Gram is terrified of one day running into a problem that is beyond his abilities to solve, and failing, ultimately and finally.
Because of this, he fears death as the ultimate failure, one from which he could never recover.

background:;
Gram was born the only son of a powerful, wealthy man. Gram Sr. was a ruthless corporate executive with ties to organized crime, ties inherited from his father, Gram's grandfather. Gramps was a member of organized crime, well respected across various criminal syndicates, but he was middle only management, at best. Gramps began to invest his wealth in various corporate enterprises, eventually amassing a fortune numbering in the millions. He raised Gram Sr. to take over his legitimate businesses, while maintaining some underworld contacts for when a situation required a less delicate touch. Gram Sr. took to the corporate world like a fish to water and he expanded his family's wealth and power, nearly doubling the 17 million he inherited from his father. Already, at 19, Gram has increased his father's 34 million and expects to have more than tripled it in his lifetime.
Gram Sr. was 56 when his son, Nathaniel Gram, was born to his fourth wife. The men of Gram's family had always had a reputation for being shrewd, cunning, and intelligent, but Gram was different. He was a genius, a prodigy. He graduated from MIT shortly after his sixteenth birthday, going on to eventually receive another advanced degree in engineering and one in business from Stanford. By his nineteenth birthday, he could code in nearly every computer language and was beginning to emerge as one of the foremost experts in robotics and engineering. He is fluent in three languages and can converse comfortably in another.
Gram's home life was not unpleasant. He grew up wanting for nothing, the best resources at his disposal for his success. The most brilliant private tutors were hired to teach him at a rate that would keep up with his intellect. His father taught him to burn off frustration through physical exercise, teaching him the ways of the business world by allowing him to attend board meetings from the age of 8 on. But Gram was lonely. He was too intelligent to be put in a school with other children, since none could match his learning rate. He had no siblings and his father was a cold and stern figure, before dying in a traffic collision at age 74. Gram's mother took her own life before he was even three.
Initially isolated from the outside world, Gram learned to interact with others in his own way. He experimented with his tutors and servants, manipulating them much as he'd seen his father do with politicians and company board members. If asked about him, they would say that he was an exceptional and exceptionally charming young man who was very polite and never forgot his manners. The maid never discovered that Gram was the one responsible for the theft and sale of her identity, resulting in her subsequent bankruptcy. His calculus tutor never learned that Gram was responsible for the virus that infected his laptop with child pornography, creating friction within his marriage, and Grams subsequent machinations that resulted in their divorce.
Throughout it all, Gram came to one conclusion: That humanity was a species of wasted potential, wasting resources on the undeserving. He did not feel hatred for other humans, so much as he felt a profound disappointment in the majority of them. He considered himself a prime example of what they could be, compared to what so many of them are. The businesses that his father and grandfather worked so hard to build were child's play for him to manage and he was much more interested in the sciences, anyways, and his research continues to greatly benefit the various companies he is invested in that deal with such things.
Currently, Gram lives decadently, traveling for business and amusement, while working on his latest technological project. Until recently, Gram was unaware of supernaturals. (I'm planning on doing a journal detailing his first encounter, once he is approved.)

On some level, perhaps, Gram may feel guilty about the way he treats others and maybe that's why he delves so deeply into the intellectual, avoiding personal relationships with other people. Only time will tell if these feelings will grow to change him, or if they will only be pushed further down. As for his religious beliefs, before his first encounter with a supernatural, Gram was an atheist. Now, he's not so sure.
