Gremio originally lived with his parents near the [[Scarlet Moon Empire|Scarlet Moon]] border with the [[City-State of Jowston]]. In [[Solar calendar|SY]] 439, when he was nine, his parents were killed during a border dispute. His mother protected him from the Jowston soldiers' blades, dying as a result. Alone, Gremio spent the next seven years of his life wandering. [[Teo McDohl]] found him lost in the [[Karakas Desert]] and, seeing Gremio's good character, brought him to [[Gregminster]]. | [[File:Gremio protects Young Master.png|thumb|right|220px|Ah, so fresh faced and unscarred.

Alone, Gremio spent the next seven years of his life wandering. [[Teo McDohl]] found him lost in the [[Karakas Desert]] and, seeing Gremio's good character, brought him to [[Gregminster]]. | ||
There, he would work as a servant as well as helping to raise [[Hero (Suikoden)|Teo's son]]. Initially, he worked merely to repay his debt to Teo but quickly came to truly care for his young charge. The axe Gremio wielded was originally his father's, who had used it in battle himself. | There, he would work as a servant as well as helping to raise [[Hero (Suikoden)|Teo's son]].

After being brought to Teo and relaying the ultimatum, Gremio would sneak back to Gregminster in order to rescue his young charge. Caught, he would almost be killed only to be rescued by [[Eiji]]. Eiji would help Gremio escape to [[Sarady]], where the two would uncover McDohl's whereabouts. Gremio rescued the young child from the Sarady inn, slaying the bandit kidnappers with the help of Eiji and [[Ronettes]], receiving his second facial scar in the fight. | After being brought to Teo and relaying the ultimatum, Gremio would sneak back to Gregminster in order to rescue his young charge.

After this, Gremio began to train as a soldier in order to keep to this oath, although it occasionally drove him to be overprotective. | ||
Although willing to fight to protect the Young Master, at heart he was a familial person, much more comfortable cooking and taking care of the home than battling. Responsible for the food at the McDohl home, he held himself to a very high standard, especially as regards to his stews, which were said to be professional grade. These stews were originally the recipes of his mother. | Although willing to fight to protect the Young Master, at heart he was a familial person, much more comfortable cooking and taking care of the home than battling.

At the [[Fortress of Kwaba]], Gremio forced himself to grab and lambaste his young charge as though he were a miscreant in order to throw off suspicion of him being Teo's son. Although the ploy worked and everyone involved understood, it still hurt Gremio to treat McDohl so harshly and he even offered to be punished for his actions. Even after his charge became leader of the [[Toran Liberation Army]], Gremio upheld his duties, often accompanying him on vital missions. | [[File:Gremio roasts McDohl.png|thumb|right|220px|Personally, I think he meant every word]]At the [[Fortress of Kwaba]], Gremio forced himself to grab and lambaste his young charge as though he were a miscreant in order to throw off suspicion of him being Teo's son.

During the middle of the [[Gate Rune War]], he joined the reconnaissance of [[Kunan]] and the attempt to free [[Liukan]] from [[Soniere Prison]] despite [[Viktor]]'s warnings. In [[Rikon]], he would realize that McDohl no longer truly needed him but wished to continue to protect him as someone akin to a family member. | |||
[[File:Gremio gives his farewells.png|thumb|left|220px|You're being fairly blasé about this whole thing, Gremio]]Spotted while infiltrating Soniere Prison, [[Milich Oppenheimer]] smashed a vial of the man-eating [[Spores of Agony]] in order to stop them from escaping with Liukan. Gremio quickly pushed the other Toran Liberation Army members out of the room and shut himself in the room, sacrificing his life. In his last words, Gremio told Teo's son how proud he was of him for growing into such a responsible, mature young leader. | |||
Prior to the end of the [[Gate Rune War]], Gremio was miraculously restored to life by [[Leknaat]] using the power of the [[108 Stars]] and the back half of the [[Gate Rune]], bolstering the morale of the entire [[Toran Liberation Army|Liberation Army]]. Following the fall of the Scarlet Moon Empire and the end of the Toran Liberation War, Gremio, ever loyal, continued to follow Teo's son after he left the Scarlet Moon Empire. | Prior to the end of the [[Gate Rune War]], Gremio was miraculously restored to life by [[Leknaat]] using the power of the [[108 Stars]] and the back half of the [[Gate Rune]], bolstering the morale of the entire [[Toran Liberation Army|Liberation Army]].

Gremio continued to accompany [[Hero (Suikoden)|his master]] on his journey following the [[Gate Rune War]]. When they stopped for a time at [[Banner Village]], Gremio helped to keep people away for his master's piece of mind. Although he understood McDohl's plight, he did encourage him to help [[Ko (Suikoden II)|Ko]] when the boy was kidnapped. | [[File:Gremio sees a similarity.png|thumb|right|220px|May it be quenched as surely as his was]]Gremio continued to accompany [[Hero (Suikoden)|his master]] on his journey following the [[Gate Rune War]].
