A mortal, he worked a a banker having recently taken over charge of his grandfather George Thomas' bank. His grandfather was killed by a car bomb, triggering the curiosity of his friend Duncan MacLeod. Grant had been guilty of planting the bomb, not wanting to return monies deposited by Holocaust victims in the 1930s and 1940s that his grandfather seemed to want to do. Alex Raven had tracked the money to Grant, and she and MacLeod crossed paths at his house, where Grant appeared holding a gun on them and told them what he had done.
