Grey originally hails from planet [[Corneria]], but has settled on planet [[Katina]], to lead an outpost of the Cornerian Defense Force. Grey is considered an ace pilot in his own league. He first appeared as an ally in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' when [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] team assisted him defending the CDF outpost, and he later appears repaying Star Fox in a later mission, either [[Solar]] or [[Sector X]] (though not if the player had not completed the Katina mission first). Grey's next appearance was in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', maintaining his role as a supporting character and a member of the CDF. | |||
Grey is an old friend of [[Fox McCloud]], as they both went to military academy together, albeit they later took different approaches in serving their planet, as Grey joined the governmental army while McCloud reformed [[James McCloud|his father]]'s mercenary team, Star Fox. | |||
