Lore & Background
Grimm is a mysterious, cat-themed entity from the base game. Unlike the spectral reapers of legend, Grimm's power lies in its feline companions, the Gatti Amari, which evolve into the devastating 'Vicious Hunger'. Its presence is marked by playful yet deadly swarms of cats, not ghostly apparitions.
In Their Own Story
Production for the fifth season began on July 7, 2015, with filming taking place primarily in the Portland, Oregon area, consistent with previous seasons. The narrative introduced new threats and characters during this run; for instance, Carl Young was cast as Selina Golias, a character forced to hide after an attack killed her boyfriend, making her a target of a Wesen 'Rat King'. In early September, Madeline Brewer joined the cast as Billie Trump for episodes 6 and 7. By November, it was announced via Deadline that Bailey Chase had been cast as Lucien Petrovich, the leader of a Wesen revolutionary group. The season followed Nick Burkhardt's continued struggle to balance his police duties with his supernatural responsibilities.
