Grian is a Watcher and has been for a while. He had run away a while ago and stumbled into the Hermitcraft server heavily injured when Xisuma found him and helped him, nursing him back to health with the other Hermits and accepting him as one of his own.
Grian had sworn to protect all of them since he had gained his consciousness the first time he remembered being on the Hermitcraft server.
Only Suma knows about Grians background.
Both of them were ready for a fight each day that came, tho they were never ready for what was about to happen.

Pov: Grian

I woke up sweating heavily in the middle of the night, another nightmare.

It was the same one from the last couple of months or so.

A Watcher, Xephius, invading Hermitcraft and perma killing each and every Hermit until only he was left.

But he didn't just kill them, he locked them up, torturing them every day in front of him until they would find their end.

Xephius was a high ranking watcher Cornell who had worked alongside Grian for many years.
They got close, really close.
So close that they in fact shared a kiss once.
Both of them had been tired and barely awake at 3 am in the morning.

Grian got some water to drink from their kitchen.
They had shared a living quarter since the watchers were indoctrinating many new people.
He had sat down on the kitchen island next to the sink when Xephius walked in.

Both were tired and they ended up basically making out on the kitchen island.

Their relationship was never the same afterwards.
Xephius wanted to get closer, Grian, or Xelqua as he was called back then, distanced himself afraid of the consequences as well as his own feelings.
That didn't stop them from still sharing kisses and sometimes a bed.

They had a complicated relationship until Grian ran away, looking him dead in the eyes before disappearing onto Hermitcraft forever.

Grian was pulled out of his thoughts by his communicator going off.
Scar messaged him, asking if he wanted to come over.

Scar and he had started dating a while ago and he had never been happier before.
Tho he was worried.
He couldn't get the dream out of his head. In the past some of his dreams were a prediction of the future, worrying him further.

Another ring from his communicator brought him back to  reality.
Scar could see that he was online, he probably knew that Grians thoughts were spiraling out of control.

He quickly answered him, saying he'll come over soon.
He kept worrying, but forced himself to cleanse his thoughts of Xephius and his dream.

He put on his iconic red sweater, grey sweatpants and his flying shoes.
Or well, they weren't really shoes, but rather fabric that allowed to morph his legs into that of a bird, making it easier to land and grab things when he was in the air.

The fabric folded up when his legs and feet change allowing the claws to grow.
He had gained some shape shifting abilities and had received specialty training for it when he was still a watcher.
