Grim

Voiced by: Greg Eagles

Grim is the Grim Reaper, personification of Death, a scythe-wielding skeleton in a black hooded robe. He is over 10,000 years old, speaks in a Jamaican accent, and was elected to his position when he was in middle school. Grim is a relatively carefree figure who particularly enjoys his job, but often appears less than happy with his life. Grim enjoys chaos, despair, torture, and many other dark themes. He attends children's martial arts classes. Grim is slowly adapting to modern life, and is usually seen watching television, or eating snacks, and sometimes gardening. His scythe is the source of his powers and possesses many magical qualities though he is still capable of using magic without it (these instances are rare).

Growing up with a father who loved listening to country rock, more than spending time with his own son, Grim pretended to be a country rock star to gain his father's attention. He would later discover his true passion for reaping the souls of mortals, and make it his goal to become a reaper. During his grade school years, Grim befriended a humanoid spider named Velma Green, and made his first major enemy, the Boogey Man. While Grim and Velma were considered nerds in school, they remained best friends for years until the reaper election in middle school. In an attempt to stop the Boogey Man from cheating himself into the position of reaper, Grim found himself in an incriminating situation. Believing that her best friend had cheated her out of the position as reaper, Velma developed a powerful hatred for Grim.

Centuries later, Grim lost a bet to Billy and Mandy, and under the authority of the underworld contract, he was fated to be their "best friend" forever. The contract is legally binding to the point that if he tries to leave via portal, the portal reappears somewhere in Billy's house. Despite this, the children treat him more like a slave, often forcing him to do their chores or create supernatural fun for them. This indiginity often leads him to seek ways of getting out of his contract, none of which have worked so far. He has also tried getting the children into dangerous situations in the hopes that they will not make it out alive, but his attempts always prove to be unsuccessful.

While Grim appears to have a pacifistic nature, there are often times when he openly displays fits of anger. He usually appears indifferent to what is happening around him, but this is probably due to his hatred towards Billy and Mandy. Due to the fact that he is bound to them, Grim will often help them with their problems or concerns, but he usually does so half-heartedly
