VINNIE GRIGORI - A New Yorker who has encountered the gargoyles extremely often. The first time was the night after the gargoyles awakened; Lexington spotted Vinnie out on a motorcycle ride, and swooped down to take a closer look. Vinnie, alarmed at the sight of the little gargoyle, fell off his motorcycle, and when Lexington subsequently made an effort at riding it, he inadvertently drove it into a wall and destroyed it. When Vinnie reported the loss of his motorcycle to the authorities, they refused to believe his story about gargoyles, considered him to have been drunk, and took away his driver’s license.
At that time, Vinnie was a security guard for Cyberbiotics, on board Fortress One. The night after his motorcycle disaster, he met Goliath and Demona during their raid on the air fortress, and was frightened enough to pass out in shock at the sight of the two gargoyles. Vinnie escaped the destruction of Fortress One, but was now out of a job. He got another security job at Gen-U-Tech Systems, but when Goliath kidnapped Sevarius on a night that Vinnie was on duty, he was promptly fired again.
Vinnie had by now had enough. He had Mr. Acme make a special pie-firing gun for him, which he named "Mr. Carter", and with it, hunted Goliath down and finally fired "Mr. Carter" at him, splatting the gargoyle with a banana cream pie. He then triumphantly walked away, while Goliath stared bewilderedly after him.
Vinnie was one of the New Yorkers interviewed by "Nightwatch" after the gargoyles were revealed to the world, and told his story about his revenge on Goliath to the reporters; Taro, watching in Japan, was intrigued and offered Vinnie a security job with his company. John Castaway also learned about Vinnie’s exploit, and eagerly recruited him for the Quarrymen. When Vinnie quickly got a taste of Castaway’s true nature, however, he decided that he wanted no part of the Quarrymen’s mission, and saved Goliath and Elisa from Castaway’s wrath. Giving the two his best wishes and a warning to be careful, he then left for Japan to accept Taro’s offer. It is more than likely that he will soon discover the Ishimura clan there.
