Grimoire Weiss is a supporting character from the NieR series.
Bio[edit | edit source]
As the name might imply, Grimoire is a floating, sentient tome that serves as the talkative companion of Nier. As the name also might imply, Grimoire is a floating spellbook that will instruct Nier in the proper use of the Sealed Verses - powerful spells that are gained from, and used against the various bosses encountered in the game. When not busy in either of these roles, Grimoire will also complain about being likened to a cookbook, or sassing Kainé about her underwear.
In truth, Weiss actually used to be a real human bean until his career as a child soldier ended with him partaking in some sort of fancy ritual. Weiss now having plenty of pages instead of functioning limbs or a functioning heartbeat broadly explains how that turned out. As if being constantly threatened by booklice wasn't bad enough, Grimoire also has an evil twin currently under employ of the local main villain, and one must wonder what will happen if the two ever meet.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Grimoire Weiss served as the managed of Nier during the Square Enix-themed 8chanmania XCIV. Having led Nier to the Mania in order to find his missing daughter (or potentially sister), Yonah, he watched with dismay as Nier got dismantled by a certain one-winged angel.
