Profile
Edit
Apparently descended from the Earth Dragons, Grima is a feared evil dragon, known under the title "Fell Dragon". Around 1,000 years before the start of the game, he tried to take over the continent of Ylisse, but was defeated by the first king of Ylisse and Naga and put into a long slumber. A cult that followed Grima, the Grimleal, for centuries tried to create a suitable vessel for Grima to take, someone who held the Heart of Grima. Validar's wife gave birth to a suitable vessel, the Avatar. However Validar's wife took the child away from the cult to protect them from their destiny.
In the alternate future, Grima managed to possess the Avatar and kill Chrom at The Dragon's Table, bringing destruction to the world. To prevent Lucina from interfering with his resurrection in the past, Grima followed her through the Outrealm Gate, but lost most of his power in the process. He managed to find his past self's body and attempted to fill their head with his memories, but the massive amount of memories and the weak Heart of Grima the Avatar had at the time gave them amnesia and caused Grima to lose more of his power. Over the course of the game, Grima is able to both regain his power and awaken the dormant dragon body of the present.
Depending on who the player chooses to slay Grima, Grima will either go back into a deep slumber if Chrom kills him, or die permanently if the Avatar slays him, at the apparent cost of the Avatar's life.

MysteriesEdit
Much of Grima's past is shrouded in mystery. It is unknown how Grima is descended from the Earth Dragons and how it relates to Naga's seal on the feral Earth Dragons. Nor is his distinctly demonic appearance explained in any manner. The significance of the humanoid face that appears under the bones plates, that are destroyed as more damage is taken, is also unexplained.
Additionally it is unclear why Grima has sentience and seeks to end the world, as the Earth Dragons were not innately destructive until they degenerated into mad beasts.
EtymologyEdit
Grima's Japanese name, Gimle, may be named after Gimlé (alternately Gimli) from Norse mythology. It was a place where the survivors of Ragnarök were foretold to live. It is described as the most beautiful place on Earth, even more beautiful than the Sun. Alternatively, in Ásgarðr (the realm of the gods), Gimli is the golden roof of a building where righteous men go when they die.
Gimli was also the name of a dwarf who belonged to the fellowship in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Grima may come from Spanish grima meaning disgust or uneasiness, cognate to English grim. Alternatively, it may come from to Old English grima, which means mask, helmet, or ghost, cognate to English grime.
Grima was also the name of an ally of the traitorous wizard Saruman the White in in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, known as Wormtongue for his deceitful nature.
