"I'm not looking for mercy or absolution. I just want you to know, I've been where you are right now. Filled with rage, wanting revenge... I chose HYDRA for petty, personal, selfish reasons... for a father figure, for vengeance... for closure. But what I saw today gave my life meaning. For the first time ever, I have a sense of satisfaction that I never experienced when I was seeking revenge."
―Grant Ward[src]

Grant Douglas Ward was a HYDRA mole within S.H.I.E.L.D. Ward was ultimately and solely loyal to John Garrett, to whom he dedicated much of his adult life. Ward was totally loyal to Garrett and was fundamentally reliant on Garrett for orders, finding it difficult to make significant decisions on his own. After Ward was killed by Phil Coulson, his body later served as host for the inhuman known as Hive.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.[]

Background[]

Grant was born on January 7, 1983. When he was younger, Grant's older brother used to beat him up for the tiniest reasons. His older brother also forced Grant to beat up his younger brother for him. Grant's parents were also abusive. This is what spurred Grant into learning how to defend himself. After being sent to a military school far from home, he escaped from the facility, stole a car, drove several hundred miles back home and tried to burn it down with his older brother still inside.

After being caught and sent to juvie, Grant was approached by Garrett, who had heard of his remarkable results at the military school and offered him a choice between being tried and probably spending the rest of his life in jail or joining him. Ward took his offer and was broken out of juvie by armed men working for Garrett.

Afterwards, Garrett trained him to be an operative. As part of the training, he dropped him off in the remote wilderness with nothing but the clothes he was wearing and his own dog, Buddy. Ward spent years living in the woods with Buddy, living off supplies stolen from campers, even after Garrett returned. As a final step before letting him into his agent training, Garrett ordered him to put down Buddy and left him alone to do it. At first, Ward fired a shot in the air and sent Buddy running, planning to let him go, though the next flashback shows him aiming at him through a sniper scope, suggesting that he did kill him after all.

Character traits[]

A gruff, asocial manly man in his early thirties who was great at his job but not so great at getting along with his co-workers. Ward appeared to have a strong moral foundation and is not without his charm. Ward was actually an extremely skilled pathological liar and spy, and a merciless killer, who joined Coulson's team to gain information about Coulson's recovery for John Garrett and HYDRA.

Abilities[]

  • Master Hand-to-Hand Combat: Ward had shown himself to be a very skilled fighter, having top combat scores.
  • Multilingual: Ward was capable of fluently speaking English, French, Russian, Italian and Spanish.
  • Expert Spy: Grant had the best espionage scores after Natasha Romanoff.
  • Expert Marksman: Ward had extensive training with a variety of small arms, and was an accurate shooter with most of them.
  • Skilled Seducer/Manipulator: He was skilled in the field of seduction and manipulation, such as allowing things to get intimate with Agent May because she was a threat to him. The only reason he became Skye's S.O was to understand the way she works, and how he fooled the team into trusting him by saving Jemma Simmons.
