Grey is often described as solitary and moody, but with a hunter's nature that comes alive in combat.  He enjoys the long hours hunting down other light 'Mechs, and the fast paced maneuvering to bring down larger ones.  The rapid social and political changes in his lifetime have made him feel out of place and alone, a relic of the [[thirtieth century]]. The betrayal he felt at the Lyran succession left him deeply suspicious of all things Lyran, even refusing to pilot an offered ''[[Dart (BattleMech)|Dart]]''.  In the early 3070s Ross McKinnon became concerned with his violent mood swings and sought ways to convince Grey to seek psychiatric help.<ref name=FT13/><ref name=SoD30/><ref name=TRO3055Up8/><ref name=TROCIp84/>

From [[3019]] until [[3027]] Grey piloted a dilapidated STG-3R ''[[Stinger]]'' with erratic circuitry on the [[medium laser]].

After the [[3049]] loss of his ''Hornet'' he returned to his ''Stinger''. In [[3053]] he was assigned a new ALM-7D ''[[Fireball]]'' which he upgraded to the ALM-8D as soon as he could.
