Character

Grell Sutcliff

グレル・サトクリフ

Grelle Sutcliff is a Grim Reaper. They are part of the Retrieval Division of the Grim Reaper Dispatch. Grelle initially posed as Angelina Dalles's butler and conspired with her as Jack the Ripper. They were suspended for some time as a result, but are now a fully active Grim Reaper. Grelle is an individual "covered in red." Grelle has long dark-red hair, shark-like teeth, and red-framed glasses accessorized with a chain with skulls. Like other Grim Reapers, Grelle has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes. Grelle's typical attire consists of a vest; gloves; a red-and white-striped bow around their neck; and red and black 4.33-inch (11-cm) high-heeled ankle boots. Grelle also sports a red coat they took from Angelina Dalles after fatally wounding her; they often wear it slung off their shoulders with the sleeves rolled up to their elbows. Grelle has specially modified their Death Scythe to operate like a chainsaw because they deem the average Death Scythe old-fashioned. When posing as Angelina Dalles's butler, Grelle had brown hair, which was tied with a red ribbon, and they dressed in plain black clothes. Grelle is an outspoken, flamboyant individual who unreservedly expresses themselves and their desires. They possess a strong predilection for the color red, which they believe can be used to achieve beauty. Combative, Grelle is quick to turn to violence to eliminate hindrances and has had numerous clashes with Sebastian Michaelis because of such an inclination. They have little to no patience for those who are bogged down by their emotions, having ruthlessly slain partner-in-crime Angelina Dalles for hesitating to kill her nephew. At first, Grelle was dismissive of the principles of Grim Reapers, which includes staying neutral in human affairs, as evidenced by their unlawful partnership with Angelina. However, after a period of suspension, Grelle has come to respect said principles, enough to preach the importance of soul-reaping to fellow Grim Reaper Ronald Knox. Nevertheless, due to their impulsive nature, they are still liable to transgress these principles, such as when they were about to kill Aleister Chamber, ignoring Ronald's warning that killing humans is prohibited. Grelle is fond of incorporating double entendres and referencing plays and theatre in their speech; for instance, they described Angelina's death as a "falling of curtains" and compared their relationship with Sebastian to Romeo and Juliet. When posing as Angelina's butler, Grelle was timid and ineffective at their job; they failed to properly prepare tea and got lost while driving a carriage.
