Grendan

Grendan is the main antagonist of Deathmatch.

Profile
Like many of the other contestants in the Deathmatch, Grendan's origins and past are a mystery. He is a very large, physically imposing humanoid, able to shrug off serious wounds from bullets and small explosives, seemingly unaffected as they pass through his body. A cruel being with a sharp mind, Grendan manages to organize the survivors of the Deathmatch into fighting for him, under the guise of security and peace of mind. In reality, he schemed with fellow contestant Maruta to experiment on his followers, attempting to trick the monitoring devices strapped to them into registering them as dead- all part of a larger plan to hijack Overwatch technology. These plans were ultimately foiled once The Participant killed Maruta, and Grendan's followers eventually turned on him. Surviving the attack, Grendan tracked down Mylan, about to drop her off a cliff when stopped by The Participant. Grendan would meet his end when the cliff he was standing on collapsed, with Mylan shooting him in the face to cause him to fall further to his death.
