Who is father grigori

No recent wiki edits to this page. Father Grigori was once a pastor in the town of Ravenholm before the combine attacked using headcrabs. Very few made it out alive.

The pastor survived the attack but was driven mad by the years of isolation. At first the 'mad monk' tried to remove the head crabs without killing the victims. After failing this he now destroys the infected with home-made traps and his Winchester rifle. While in Ravenholm, you discover that Father Grigori is the only one still human as far as you know in the god-forsaken town.

It becomes clear to you that he has obviously perfected the art of zombie killing. A first he speaks to you from roof tops, referring to the zombies as his 'congregation'. Later he gives you a shotgun and eventually helps you escape from Ravenholm.

The Father seems to have no remorse over killing the ghouls as you escape from Ravenholm you can hear his uncontrolled laughter over the gunshots , but he does have a certain connection to them. This suggests that Grigori's prototype skin is an old one that hadn't been updated yet.

Grigori's eventual fate is left ambiguous; once he has opened up the gate at the graveyard, Gordon is free to go, with Grigori telling him to "look to his own salvation" before then laughing in a crazed manner. If the player remains at the gate after having been "escorted" to the mines, Grigori continues shooting at zombies, and tells Freeman to "Get going," and that "No one wants to stay in Ravenholm.

Given the circumstances of his last encounter, even if he survived the large zombie horde that he and Gordon stirred up, the destruction of the Citadel could have obliterated Ravenholm.

The time and distances involved are sketchy, but as Gordon manages to reach Black Mesa East in about 2 to 3 hours or so, and Ravenholm is just outside Black Mesa East, it can be judged that Ravenholm is around 20—40 km from City Seeing as the forests outside City 17 are relatively untouched, it can be reasoned that Grigori escaped the Citadel explosion.

It is not impossible that he escaped by waiting out the fire and running away, but being slightly insane, he may have fought to the end anyway. In Raising the Bar , they say his eventual fate was left up to the players to decide and that they did not plan to re-use the character in the series although he was originally going to appear in Arkane's Half-Life 2: Episode Four before production was halted and cancelled.

Father Grigori is a middle-aged man with a bald head and portly build; he dresses in traditional embroidered clothing and red Converse sneakers covered with Headcrab ooze. Around his neck, he wears a crucifix, signifying his religious position and outlook, which seems to have taken a turn for the extreme as he tries hard to bring his "congregation" to salvation by killing them - in doing so, "exorcising" them from their parasitic headcrabs.

He has a cross pierced into the skin of one of his hands. His ability to move around Ravenholm quickly and inconspicuously suggests he is fast on his feet and agile despite his portly build, or that he has set up many escape routes that the player never uses.

Grigori is quite possibly religiously insane and can be heard ranting, uttering various disjointed biblical references and laughing maniacally while hunting zombies in Ravenholm. It is unknown if his laughter and religious references are symptoms of insanity or merely aspects of a dark sense of humor; most likely, they are both. Grigori probably has a form of chronic reactive psychosis, which is not a mental disorder in itself, but psychosis brought on by the experience of a severely traumatic or stressful event.

Grigori appears at various points in Ravenholm, generally standing at a high vantage point from which he proceeds to kill the various zombies in the areas below. Zombies seem to prefer to attack the player when given the choice, except during the final sequence leading up to the mine entrance.

Because of the limitations of his weapon, he has to reload frequently, so he is vulnerable to the zombies that can reach his position, such as Fast Zombies , in significant numbers or when operating at ground level. Like Alyx Vance , Grigori seems to have rapidly regenerating health, making him very hard to kill, so players shouldn't generally need to concern themselves if he is attacked unless the numbers get too large or explosive weapons are used.

He will cry out in anguish when he is overwhelmed and requests the support of the player. He tends only to fire at enemies short to mid-range since his weapon, Annabelle, does not have a scope, so he will often fire while retreating back from a zombie if they reach him.
