Grief

Grief, sometimes referred to as The Professor, is the top-ranked Arsenal pilot and the leader of Terrors. He serves as the main antagonist of Daemon X Machina.

Summary
Leader of Terrors, Grief is one of the oldest Outers and has fought side by side with Brigadier General. Grief has succeeded in all the tasks he has been assigned, and as a result has the only EX rank granting "freedom" allowing him to make independent judgements within any mission. He is also the self proclaimed "first Outer," although it is unknown if he was the first person to develop a tolerance to femto particles, or if he simply considers himself to be the first person to "hear" the will of The Dominator via femto.

Pilot of the Kloster.

Mission Zero
Grief participated in Mission Zero with Regret, Gloom, Dread, Barne, and Ali. He and the other members of his squad piloted Prototype Arsenals for this excursion. Gravely injured from combat, Grief is seen limping away from his destroyed Arsenal and the ongoing combat, reciting a quote from Charon from Dante's Inferno. After the deaths of Dread, Barne, and Ali, Grief reaches a corridor with a giant door and demands answers. The door opens, with a bright light shining from within, to what was presumably Grief's first contact with the Dominator.

Oval Link Project
Some time before the events of the game, Grief founded the Oval Link Project and Orbital. Officially, the initiative's purpose was to reclaim the site of the Moonfall and protect the outside world from the threats of toxic Femto particles and the Immortals. In reality, the Oval Link Project was Grief's plan to find and receive the Dominator, and usher in a new age of humanity. In order to ensure the project's success, Grief created the Rookie as part of a contingency to carry out his will.
