Time for me to illuminate:

In Matt Wagner's 'Grendel', the first man to take on the mantle of Grendel called himself Hunter Rose. No one is quote sure of his first name. He was an Olympic-class (and beyond) fencer, and a man capable of intense focus. He becomes one of the world's greatest assassins, and then one of the world's top crimelords... at the age of 25 or so. OH, and a best-selling and Pulitzer-prize winning author, too.

And his one moment of compassion brings him down. A girl whose father he killed, and who he adopts, finds out his secret, and arranges for his entire empire to develop cracks, and for his greatest enemy to find him.

The entire story is told in illustration and prose, first in the backs of the original 'Mage' series, and then collected into 'Grendel: Devil By The Deed'.

"He was the devil of society's mediocracy."
