[edit] Story
Grimoire was the man who worked on the discovery of Chaos and the Omega with Lucrecia Crescent. However, he was killed when an experiment during his research went wrong and he shielded Lucrecia from the blast. This is what caused the guilt felt by Lucrecia, causing her to distance herself from Vincent. Before he worked on the discovery of Chaos and Omega, he found that a life was created by the stagnation of Lifestream. Scientists took this information and took the stagnation and put it into children about to be born. However they did not know how it was going to turn out, and though they did a few hundred experiments, there was only one experiment that was successful—Nero the Sable.
