Grant Danasty

Character's History

Grant was a pirate who was an unfortunate victim of Dracula's dark reign over Transylvania. In an act of rage, Dracula killed Grant's family and forced him to guard the clock tower outside of Warakiya. The Count did this by using his dark magic to transform Grant into a demonic and aggressive creature dubbed "Nasty Grant." When Trevor sought to purge Transylvania of its curse, he scaled the clock tower and battled and defeated the unwitting demon. His efforts in striking down Nasty Grant freed Danasty of the curse, and he was allowed to return to human form whence he offered his assistance in return.

The grateful Grant, now alone in the world, offered to help Trevor by using his unique skills and fighting abilities: Grant was very quick and agile, could climb across walls and ceilings for better access, and he could use his small frame to squeeze between tight spaces. Strength-wise, Grant's stabbing dagger didn't bring much to the table, but his propensity to attack with axes and daggers from almost any angle made him a valuable ally. After the victory over the Count, the two allies became great friends, and they led the way in the rebuilding of their home town and all of Warakiya.

Appearances

Grant Danasty was one of the ally characters in Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. Grant uses his small stabbing dagger to speedily stab forward. It's a rather weak weapon, and it can't be powered up by any means, but his other abilities more than make up for it. (In the Japanese version of this game, Grant uses a regular throwing dagger as his normal striking weapon, which eliminates it as a sub-weapon.) Along with the stabbing dagger, Grant also has a fondness for other sharp weaponry; he can wield two such mystic weapons and the stopwatch.

          

Sub-Weapons
Striking Weapons
Dagger: A quick but weak dagger that Grant can toss while either standing or climbing on a wall; he can also drop them down while hanging on a ceiling  
Short Dagger: Grant uses a small, light dagger to swiftly stab enemies; single blows are weak, but its rate of attack is quick
Axe: An unwieldy but powerful axe that Grant throws in an arc while standing or climbing on a wall; he can also drop them straight down while on the ceiling
Stopwatch: A magical watch that stops time for five seconds, freezing enemies in their tracks
