Grinsley Gunsborough, later renamed Grinsley Gumsburrow in the sequel, is a supporting antagonist and an important member of the Grinning Darns Army in the hack and slash platform action Noitu Love games, created by Joakim Sandberg (Iconoclasts). Grinsley is the financial manager of the Army and one of the most smart Darns among the army.
History[]
Grinsley was one of the first creations of professor Darnacus Damnation, and the one that would help him to build his army up. He would program him with accountant data and pht him in charge of he armie's financial problems. At the end, Grinsley turned into a successful businessman that managed not only financial problems, but also weapons and materials for the army, laundering money and transporting weapons and troops. He also joined the battle against the hero Noitu Love, and turned in a recurring foe for him afterwards.
Noitu Love[]
The game takes place in the final confrontation of the Darn Army against Noitu Love, and Grinsley took place in it too. After destroying the master of the Cementery Base, Grinsley took advantage and tried to destroy Peacekeepers League using some sort of Nuclear Arm. Fearing a nuclear warfare, Lori tells Noitu about the situation and sends him on a rocket to Grinsley's personal blimp. After travelling through the spike-infected blimp, Noitu reaches to Grinsley's command room where he was waiting for him. After telling Noitu and Lori his plan, Grinsley decides to show that the Nuclear Arm was not a bomb, but a literally giant Arm that he attaches to his body, and decides to use it against Noitu to kill him once and for all. However, all ended with Grinsley's destruction and his blimp crashing to the ground. After Darnacus' presumed death, Grinsley remained dead for a long time, until his revival was needed for more dire causes almost one hundred years later.
Noitu Love 2[]
When Darnacus' crazed AI Tango bestowed judgment against mankind, she decided to revive the old Darn Army for his genocidal plans, Grinsley included. She didn't only give him his blimp back, but all of the troops and power he had before in order to move the Darns into battle. In this game, he co-worked with a new Darn General called Sleeper Breakman, who moved troops and resources in land. However, they were both intercepted by Almond in an area that turned into some Old West desert thanks to Tango's time tower machines. Peacekeeper's new star Xoda Rap was sent there in order to finish with the Darns. Grinsley was the first to intercept Xoda flying to his blimp, and comes forth into battle using his old weapon the nuclear arm. However, Grinsley and Breakman were both destroyed by Xoda, this time forever.
Personality[]
Grinsley has a stereotypical English businessman personality. He is fancy and likes to wear expensive clothes despite being a robot. He is over confident and treats his enemies with class and respect, despite not feeling true respect of them just to sound more classy. He tends to use the word Marvellous for almost everything he says, thing that annoys all sentient members of the Darn Army, including Darnacus himself. Hidden within his fancy words and looks, hides a true evil individual whose intentions and loyalty to obey Darnacus and vanish mankind are genuine, and has no hesitations in harming everyone who opposes the army.
