Angus Grimaldi

"That's nothing, pal. I grew up in Glasgow."- Grim, when held at knifepoint

Angus "Grim" Grimaldi is a character in Tomb Raider (2013) and is the helmsman of the Endurance before its destruction.

Background
Grim grew up in Gorbals, a notorious neighborhood of Glasgow, Scotland, with his Twin Brother Cuddy, and sister Morag. As a child he always felt a kinship with water and often built makeshift boats out of junk and taught himself to sail on the river Clyde which flows through Glasgow. There is nothing about sailing and water that Grim does not know, and he has sailed all the oceans of the world, which included stints working for the Merchant Navy where he met Conrad Roth.

Roth and Grim found a kinship and stuck together after their service. They traveled the world and took any job that paid well, all of them dangerous and most of them legal. Grim and Roth saved each other’s skin on numerous occasions. When Roth purchased the Endurance, Roth would not trust anyone else but Grim at her helm.

It is also shown in his document that he use to know Lara's father, giving him a nickname "Dicky Croft" showing that they were close. They use to go on adventures together and says if he was there he would be studying "these bastards". This may be the reason why he is protective of Lara, giving up his life for her.

It was revealed in issue 17 of the comic series, when Grim's mother got sick, he was unable to face the reality of his mother dying, so he did not visit her in hospital, and didn't attend the funeral. This caused a rift between him and his brother, and they never spoke again.

Story
After being shipwrecked on Yamatai, Grim is captured along with most of the Endurance's crew. However, the old man manages to escape and finds Lara on her way to rescue them. But the Solarii catch up to him and attempt to use him as a hostage to force Lara's surrender. Grim refuses and goes down fighting, taking several enemies with him.

However several weeks later, Lara receives a video, showing that Grim is being held captive by a group of bandits, prompting Lara to travel to Mexico in order to rescue him. Lara's trek through the jungle, results in her capture just as she reaches the enemy stronghold, and thrown into a pit, with who Lara believes to be Grim, however, reveals that he is in fact not Grim, but his twin brother, Cuddy.
