Gren was a soldier in the Titan War, and fought in the same platoon as Vicious. During a battle, Gren noticed a tiny music box that Vicious was carrying. Gren heard the tune on the little music box, and asked if he could play the tune on his saxophone after the war ended. Vicious gave him the box, which Gren carried as a memento for years after the war's end.
Later, Gren was accused of being a spy. At that time, Vicious turned on Gren. While in prison, Gren was subjected to powerful drugs, which threw his hormones off balance and made him grow breasts.
After his escape from jail, Gren worked as a saxophone player at The Rester House in a town called Blue Crow, which is located on the Callisto moon. One night at the bar, Gren met Julia. He told her about the music box Vicious gave him. Julia told Gren to open it, he did so and found a listening device Vicious had used to frame him.
Later on Faye meets him in the very same bar. After a few drinks, and after she leaves the bar for some "action", he takes her back to his place, at the Blue Apartments. There he reveals his past to Faye. He then reveals that he is a dying man.
Gren had planned to trap and kill Vicious. He set up an exchange of Red Eye for some explosives. During the exchange, he revealed himself to Vicious, and that he knew what Vicious had done to him. They end up in a dogfight, which Spike becomes involved. Gren fires at Vicious, disabling Vicious' ship, but not killing him, and Gren's ship ended up crashing to the ground. Spike came to his aid, but as Gren began to fade away, Spike loaded him back into the ship and launched Gren towards Titan. Gren died in his final flight.

He wasn't subjected to drugs, he took them willingly because of his insomnia. Vicious betrayed Gren because he was still "hurting" from Spike's betrayal. This was a way to deal with this hurt and destroy any ideas he had of friendship, to turn in a true "beast". The deal was not explosives for red eye but money! Gren shot it because it was booby trapped, Julia told him what kind of guy he is..no way does Gren trust him again. Gren was a happy kid and Vicious's betrayal really [censored] him up just look at the picture of him and vicious (notice the shred, he shred the picture and glued it back together.)The other pictures shows a happy kid, a musician with lots of friends. He glued the picture of him and v back because he wanted to believe Vicious was a good guy and had his back. Gren was dying and him asking Spike to take him back to titan meant that he wanted to go back to a time where there was something to believe in.
This isn't official but if you observe the episode you would "get" it. And he wasn't gay btw, his POV of Faye explains this. (when you see Faye's body in closeup that's through the eyes of Gren). ... show more »

I don't like the fact that Vicious framed him and that they don't explain Vicious' reasoning for doing so. I mean, what did Gren ever do to Vicious to deserve that? Oh well, guess Vicious is just that cold-hearted of a bastard. I do pity Gren for all he was put through, such as being used for human experimentation and becoming half woman. ... show more »

I really didn't care that he was both male and female, I still loved him. It depresses me that he's dead. T_T
