History[]
The terminally ill Grimm known as Marie Kessler was admitted to Spruce Medical Center after being attacked by a Wesen named Hulda. She was tended to by a woman named Doctor Rose. Marie remained conscious long enough to pass the mantle of being a Grimm to her nephew, homicide detective Nick Burkhardt. Afterward, she slipped into a coma.
A Wesen known as a Hexenbiest named Adalind Schade infiltrated the hospital as a physician with the intent of killing Marie before she could bestow too much information to Nick Burkhardt. Her plan was to inject Kessler with a syringe filled with spider poison, but Nick intervened, forcing Adalind to flee the scene. [1]
Nick discovered that a Wesen assassin known as a Reaper was looking to kill Marie, so he asked a favor of his newfound Wesen acquaintance Eddie Monroe. Eddie was a blutbad (werewolf) and had no love at all for Marie Kessler, but being a reformed Wieder blutbad, he felt obligated to help Nick out. When the assassins came into the intensive care unit to kill Kessler, Monroe led them away whereupon he shifted into his blutbad form and dismembered them. Marie revived long enough to fight off one final attacker and succeeded in killing him, but the efforts, in combination with her illness were too much for her and she died.[2]
