Gunnar[1] Grimmson (fl. 1927) was a Dark Wizard that worked as a bounty hunter in the 1920s, who was also a follower of Gellert Grindelwald.[2]

Biography

After Newton Scamander refused to assist the British Ministry of Magic, Grimmson was hired to travel to Paris in order to kill Credence Barebone. Grimmson also, however, secretly received instructions from Gellert Grindelwald to kill Irma Dugard, to deprive Credence of the answers he was seeking and to push him into Grindelwald's arms. Grimmson accomplished his task during a swift attack. Credence attempted to stop and slay Grimmson in revenge, but the latter was able to maintain a particularly strong protective Shield Charm to protect himself from Credence's Obscurial form long enough to Disapparate and escape.[3]

Personality and traits

Due to his status as a Bounty hunter for the British Ministry of Magic, Gunnar Grimmson was an intensely malevolent and sinister individual, with a vocal and mutual dislike of Newt Scamander, and seemingly only being loyal to Gellert Grindelwald.

Indeed, Grimmson was the polar opposite of Newt Scamander - Newt was a kindly caretaker of beasts, while Grimmson was a vicious beast hunter. He was also a cold-blooded and merciless killer, as he coldly and swiftly murdered Irma Dugard with the Killing Curse in order to fulfil Grindelwald's wishes, showing him to be a very sadistic and dangerous Dark Wizard indeed.
