Grihm

The Grihm were once normal humans; but, unlike most victims of the T-virus who became mindless shambling horrors, the Grihm's consciousness remained intact—sharpened, even—though twisted into something altogether different. The mutation ravaged their bodies over the course of agonizing weeks, their flesh darkening to a deep crimson-brown as their musculature expanded beyond natural limits, their skin hardening into a nearly impenetrable carapace. The pain of transformation granted the Grihm a bitter clarity about the world and their place in it. They came to see the normal humans not as saviors but as architects of suffering, and humanity at large as a species worthy of contempt. The years that followed were a rampage of calculated destruction, as the Grihm sought out those responsible for the T-virus while indulging in an anarchic campaign against the very foundations of civilization they blamed for their condition. Intelligence coupled with primal fury made them far more dangerous than ordinary mutants—capable of strategy, deception, and a cunning that belied their bestial appearance. Grihm views morality as a construct of the weak and sees their transformation as a curse and the final evolution of humanity. Now they wander the fractured remnants of the world, neither fully beast nor human, spreading chaos wherever they tread and waiting for the opportunity to dismantle the very institutions that spawned their existence.
