Psychological evaluation:
Formerly a mute due to many years of physical and pyshcological abuse from his creator, Gravedigger has since come into his own by revealing himself to be a most loyal teammate and friend. During his tenure with the Special Unit/Hunters, he's found the courage to once again speak and move on with his life.

Since arriving on the Fury, Grave has since gone through metamorphises both of physical and mental natures. Touching upon his darker side, he fully embraced his 'Grim Reaper' motif for an extended period of time. After revaluating priorities in his life, however, Gravedigger's since dropped his new role entirely, opting for a return of a more 'normal' persona.

A being of his own devices, Grave will remian loyal to his friends and is more than ready to face any challenges that lay ahead for the team.

History:
Dr. Johnathan Corvus created Gravedigger in the image of his desceased son, Allan Corvus, within the small recesses of a remote town, Baker Lake, in the frozen wastelands of Canada, on 2184 . After his son's death, Corvus became obsessed with death, and in finding some way to reverse the process. He gave up his reputation as a world renouned Robotics expert for a life surrounded by death, quite the irony indeed.

With Gravedigger's creation, Corvus had hoped that he'd somehow be able to ressurect his son's neural patterns and transfer them into Gravedigger's body, but after many failed attempts, his dream crashed down around him. With his ultimate failure, he fell into deep depression and despare. Turning to alcohol, he quickly became a bitter, hate-filled man. And seeing as though he was too ashamed to show his face outside of his lab, he took his frustations out on the closest thing he could, namely Gravedigger.

Despite Gravedigger's augmented strength over his human creator, he couldn't bring himself to fight back against his now abuser, and for three long years, the nightmare continued. One day though, he found Corvus dead, slumped over his workbench. Not sure if foul play was a factor, and if he would be the prime suspect, Gravedigger buried Corvus just outside of the lab, and fled the town.

Wandering for weeks in utter and total isolation, through snowstorm after blizzard, and vice versa, with nothing but the shovel he used to bury his creator and his simplistic armor, Gravedigger came across the town of Whale Cove, a former whaling port back in the 1800's, now a remote dive in the middle of utmost nowhere. At the bar, he heard the local drunks speak of an incredible fighter who would ocassionaly come from the Rankin Inlet to get supplies. Now purposelss, Gravedigger set off to the inlet to hopefully learn under the fighter's wing, to make sure he would never suffer the same abuse he had taken, again.

Once he arrived, he was met by a black-clad man who throughly thrashed him before allowing him to explain his situation. Which was hard, seeing as though Gravedigger hadn't uttered a word since his abuse. The stranger somehow tapped into Gravedigger's thoughts and extracted what he needed. He would teach Gravedigger in the ways of Kage no Gijutsu, the "Art of Shadows". For the next ten years, Gravedigger was taught the ways of the shadows by Wiendigo.

Through Wiendigo's advanced system of intel set up in a lab he made for himself, Gravedigger learned that the Earth was in dire straits, and needed those who could do something about it. Though his mentor declined to join him, Grave went out to join the EarthGov Armed Forces Special Unit, in hopes he could make something of himself, and put some real meaning into his life.
