We don't know what he did, but he wasn't a cop, that would have come up when they met. The only other grimm Nick met was a homeless transient-Truble. The grimm who owned the books had a great house--what kind of pension do cops in Austria get? Not that much. One of the stories was signed by R. Kipland, a writer. My comment did not say young Kelly would avoid violence, just that he could be whatever he wanted.Hi Eric,
Thanks for bringing up 4.6, "Highway of Tears" and the Grimm Diary entry by Rudyard Kipling:

Quote:Scene: Nick and Hank go to the trailer to do some research.I wonder if Mr. Kipling would be pleased to be cast as a Grimm?
Nick: [Reading a Grimm diary entry] "June third, 1893. Calcutta. After six weeks in the foul bustee, I encountered my first. It attacked. Fortunately, I had my dagger and was able to slit its throat before it was able to tighten its tongue around mine."
Hank: [Looking at the drawings] That's one hell of a tongue.
Nick: "Upon close examination, I have concluded that the Phansigar is a particular type of Skalengeck, not dissimilar to the visage of the Komodo dragon."
Hank: That's what it's called? Phansigar?
Nick: Yeah. There's more. "Here in India, the Phansigars hide among the Thuggees, the dreaded Hindu cult of thieves that strangle travelers as a sacrifice to Kali. But I have discovered that the Phansigars have their own brand of human sacrifice. Using their filthy tongues, they choke their victims into silence. These unfortunate souls... always a young couple... are then buried alive. This evil practice must be performed every three years to placate Kali." Guess who signed this one.
Hank: Who?
Nick: Rudyard Kipling.
Hank: Rudyard Kipling. Jungle Book Rudyard Kipling? He was a Grimm?
Nick: Apparently his sword was as mighty as his pen.
