Grant Danasty

“	My name is Grant. I dreamed I was turned into a ghost. Please take me with you. My family was killed by Dracula. I can help you a lot because I am very fast.	„
	~ Grant to Trevor

“	You ain't seen one quick as me before.	„
	~ Grant Danasty

Background

Grant Danasty was a young man who grew up in Wallachia during the 15th Century. Once an incredibly skilled thief and pirate captain, Grant was hit by tragedy when Count Dracula's curse over Europe came underway. Monsters ravaged Grant's land, killing his friends and family, and leaving only him alive. Influenced by the curse, Grant then turned into a mindless beast called Nasty Grant, who was sent to guard Dracula's Clock Tower.

Serving as the Clock Tower guard for quite a while, Grant was eventually put up against Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades. The team defeated Grant, reverting him back to his human form, and he joined them without hesitation. Grant would help the team defeat Lord Dracula in a climactic battle, along the way developing feelings for Sypha.

To his dismay, Sypha had shared feelings for Trevor, and the two married. Ashamed, Grant did not show up to the marriage, and hid himself away from his friends. Until one day, a mysterious man appeared in front of Grant, and he was pulled into a Time Rift. Although reluctant, Grant helped defeat the Time Reaper, although along the way he was forced to run into Trevor and Sypha once again.
