Appearance: Grant is of average build and stands at five foot, nine inches. He doesn’t do much to keep his body in shape though his work often see’s him running around. His hands are rough and calloused through his work in his business. He wears his robes most of the day – embroidered with the logo of his business – though when he is off work, he can often be seen wearing a suit of some kind (with a hat to match).
He has greying dark brown hair and deep blue eyes.
His wand hand is his right as that is his dominant hand.

During the fog of the summer, Grant takes note of Monets sketches and humours her; making a few designs inspired by her sketches.
