Mr. Grin was Herod Sayle’s butler, before he was killed in an airplane accident above London.
Appearence
Tall and thin, with ginger hair and a pale face - almost white. He has two horrendous scars, one on each side of his mouth, twisting up to his ears. The scars are a gruesome shade of mauve. He acquired the scares doing a novelty knife-throwing act in a circus. For the climax he would catch a spinning knife between his teeth. But then one night when his mother had came to see the show, and he got distracted – got his timing wrong – and ended up with no tongue and two scars.
Career
After his accident he changed his name to Mr. Grin and started working for Sayle, who he worked for until his death, 12 years later.
