Grimoire

Grimoire is an original fictonal character.

Background
Little is known about Grimoire aside from his name, his appearance, and the fact that he has been a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants for roughly a year. His age, ethnicity and country of origin are unknown; his hair is dark, his skin is a sickly pale grey, and his eyes are an unnatural yellow shade, making him the only member of the Brotherhood with an obviously inhuman appearance.

Grimoire was briefly spotted on security camera footage at the scene of a break-in at a wealthy estate in Germany. Wither, who also appeared in the footage, referred to him by the name "Grimoire", evidently a codename. The footage was later retrieved by Chatterbox from a German detective assigned to the case.

Powers and Abilities
Grimoire is a human mutant and a suspected Alpha-level mutant. He is a kleptopath - a type of telepath who specializes in the theft and absorption of thought and knowledge. He has demonstrated the ability to absorb enormous quantities of telepathic energy directed at himself, or at those whom he chooses to shield with his mind. On one occasion he was able to absorb enough of a full Cerebra scan conducted by Figment, an Omega-level telepath, to momentarily disrupt the scan and leave Figment in a daze.

Grimoire can also use his powers actively to invade and devour the thoughts and memories of weaker minds. He is incapable of simply reading minds, and must actually consume and absorb any knowledge he wishes to steal, leaving gaping holes in the memories of his victims. Given enough time with a victim, he is capable of stealing entire years, or even decades worth of memories, including entire skill sets.

To date, he has demonstrated advanced hand to hand combat skills, vast academic and tecnological knowledge, and total fluency in several world languages.
