Here's some information I dug ...@Ruth, @Helena:<br />Here's some information I dug up from the internet and Grimm episodes.<br /><br />Grimms only inherit the powers when the Grimm of the generation before them dies.<br />It also seems the ability passes from sibling to sibling before it passes to offspring, as Nick didn't inherit his powers till his aunt was about to die, even though both his parents were Grimms.<br />Strangely, Nick inherited his powers from Marie, even though his mother was still alive.<br /><br />nterestingly, it has been hinted that there are branches of the family elsewhere in the world, as the episode "Tarantella" involves a Grimm meeting an Asian (Japanese) doctor on a train in Singapore, who with his family, had the same ability as the Eurocentric Grimms.<br />Grimms also seem to have preference for decapitation and there are many references to them cutting off their victim's head.<br /><br />The current number of Grimms is unknown. The family includes:<br /><br />*Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm (January 4, 1785 – September 20, 1863), German philologist, lawyer, and capturer of folklore.<br />*Wilhelm Carl Grimm (February 24, 1786 – December 16, 1859), German philologist, lawyer, and capturer of folklore.<br />*Eduardo Grimm (? - after 1936), a Spanish Grimm who escaped to Madrid during an invasion by the Verrat ("Cat and Mouse")<br />*Marie Kessler (1958 - 2011), who did not have contact with other members of Nick's immediate family. ("Pilot")<br />*Nick Burkhardt (1982 - ), a Portland, Oregon homicide detective, who only recently learned about his background. ("Pilot")<br />*Crawford Grimm (? - ?), who executed a Lausenschlange in Vienna, possibly during the reign of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. ("Of Mouse and Man")<br />*Hasegawa (? - ?), a Japanese doctor. He traveled on a steamer from Singapore with another Grimm and passed along a scroll written in Japanese describing his encounters with a Spinnetod. ("Tarantella")<br />*Kelly Burkhardt (? - ), Nick's Mother, and Reed Burkhardt (? - 1994), his father, who were the guardians of the Coins of Zakynthos, whom, until recently, Nick believed had been killed in an accident when Nick was twelve. Marie told Nick that his parents had been murdered. In the episode Woman in Black it is revealed that Kelly Burkhardt is in fact alive somehow. ("Three Coins in a Fuchsbau")<br />*An unnamed probable Grimm who was beheaded, probably by a Hässlich, in Belgium. ("Plumed Serpent")<br />*Jose Maria Lopez Diego y Grimm (? - ?), who encountered a Murciélago in the upper Amazon and defended himself using a Murciélago matraca. ("Happily Ever Aftermath")<br /><br />I've checked the episodes twice in order to cross-reference with http://grimm.wikia.com/wiki/GrimmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249817698961575337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-60617850021616342302012-06-21T22:13:01.984-07:002012-06-21T22:13:01.984-07:00They've really been vague on how the ability g...They've really been vague on how the ability gets passed. I went back and watched the first two episodes looking for this specifically, and the only dialog that even touches on this is:<br /><br />"This is all happening so much faster than I thought it would. When it happened to me it knocked me on my ass. I couldn't move for a week."<br /><br />"The misfortune of our family is already passing to you."<br /><br />"What, someone in your family just die?"<br />"My aunt's in a coma."<br />"Ah, that explains it."<br /><br />So, we really don't know anything. Maybe Kelly (Mom) and Marie were both Grimms at the same time. I do hope they address this because I want to know if Marie was a Grimm while she was engaged to Farley Kolt!<br /><br />They haven't said anything about Nick's father yet. That'll be interesting too.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584075071891748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-13117999598705925062012-06-18T16:30:04.986-07:002012-06-18T16:30:04.986-07:00@Chris - I'm sorry it's taken me almost tw...@Chris - I'm sorry it's taken me almost two weeks to respond to your comment - I got WAY behind.
