Angus "Grim" Grimaldi (born 1950; die 2013) is a supporting character in the video game Tomb Raider (2013).
He was voiced by James Walsh.
History[]
Grim grew up in Glasgow, Scotland, in a rough neighbourhood known as "The Gorbals". Early on he developed an interest in boats, and started building his own from scrap, and trying them out on the river Clyde.
When he served in the Merchant Navy, he got to know Conrad Roth and the two formed a long-lasting friendship. Some time, later he also became acquainted with Lara's father whom he calls "Dicky Croft" in one of his journal entries, Grim: The Good Old Days. Conrad Roth and Angus tell a story about their adventure in Somalia when they're interviewed for being the new crew in James Whitman's next expedition. They're asked to tell about one of their adventures, as they're been doing expeditions together for over twenty years. Conrad Roth and Angus were "reclaiming a client's personal property" there, and get into a gunfight. Eventually they're locked up into a local prison - or at least into a prison-like facility.
However, Conrad Roth and Angus manage to escape as they spot an unguarded jeep outside and Grim has managed to smuggle a piece of metal that they can use to cut themselves free from their bindings. Conrad Roth and Angus sum up their adventures in Somalia. When Conrad Roth acquired the Endurance, he offered Grim the position of helmsman.
When Grim gets captured by the Solarii in Shantytown, they try to use him as leverage to make Lara surrender. Grim tells Lara not to do so, and in reply one of the Solarii threatens to cut his throat. When he breaks the skin, Lara is forced to drop her weapon. Grim in contrast taunts the Solarii member by saying "That's nothing, pal. I grew up in Glasgow!"
As Lara is told to kick her weapons off the edge, Grim puts up a fight and he manages to harm the Solarii members with a machete. He then dashes towards one Solarii member, pushing him at a makeshift wall. This results in both of them falling to their death.
Trivia[]

- Grim is a supporter of Celtic F.C as revealed in issue 3 of the comic series.
- This means that it is very probable that Grim is a Catholic.
