Your post seems to indicate Rolek lived a "relatively normal life." As I recall, Roleck did not enjoy being a Grimm, however IMO he did not live a normal life. From (3.21, "The Inheritance"):
http://grimm.wikia.com/wiki/Rolek_Porter
Quote:Rolek told his son, Josh, to find and bring Nick Burkhardt to him, so that he might give all of his Grimm artifacts to him before he died. Shortly after his son came back without Nick, a Verrat Ahnenerbe Hundjäger attacked Josh, and Rolek killed the intruder by impaling him with a sword.I doubt the average (normal) Kehrseite if attacked by a Hundjäger could pull out a sword and kill it. Note that both his father an grandfather were also Grimms. His son, Josh, did not seem to aspire to being Grimm, but did seem attracted to Trubel. Perhaps she was able to help him embrace his Grimm heritage?

Hi New Guy-
You're talking about 1 attack on Rolek. What age did he make it to before he died? 60 years old? 65 years old? Do you really think the odds of one documented attack during that time preclude living a normal life? I don't.
Both Nick and Rolek were attacked by Wesen attempting to kill them and steal their Grimm key(s). In the 5.5 years of Grimm, Nick was attacked multiple times. Rolek had been responsible to protect his key for considerably more years. Do you actually believe that was the first and only attack? Trubel had no keys but had been attacked multiple times before she met Nick. Do you believe Rolek was never attacked just for being Grimm? The odds that Rolek was only attacked once are zero. Based on his skill at killing the Hundjäger, and the frequency of attacks on Nick and Trubel it is much more likely he had been attacked by wesen and prevailed at least once per year. Nick was 29 when he saw his first wesen (Adalind) and was first attacked. If Rolek was 60 at death he likely encountered over 30 wesen including some attempts on his life. G&K did not provide hard evidence, however I doubt they would concur that Rolek only had one wesen encounter. LOL
