Biography
Gray Evan Hollister was a blacksmith in the late 1400s and early 1500s, his wife Emily got pregnant in late 1508 and during one of his smithing sessions he was killed by a disgruntled customer and left for dead in his forge before his wife and daughter were also brutally slaughtered. This seemed to be the end for Gray but he later woke up in Heilvania and was given a proposition by Satan and Death to become Heilvania's personal blacksmith.

He accepted on the conditions that he can raise his daughter and be with his wife, the two agreed, and Gray continued to work for many years, after so many years he started to gain many demon qualities and continued his work. On occasion asking Satan and Death for an update on their deal and would usually get a beating and his time set back. When Blackjack and TinySatan became the king and queen, Gray went to them and they granted his wish, allowing Emily and Destiny to live with him.
