Grimm

Grimm's History

Nicholas "Nick" Burkhardt (born June 18, 1982) is a Grimm and detective for the Portland Police Department. Growing up, he was not exposed to any information regarding his Grimm heritage or the Wesen that surrounded him. He learned about these largely from his own experiences since 2011, which made him unique among Grimms and generally promoting the development of more socially acceptable interaction with all individuals. In 2014, he temporarily lost his Grimm powers ("Blond Ambition") before he regained them ("Highway of Tears"). He later discovered that Adalind was pregnant with his son ("Iron Hans") from when he slept with her while she was disguised as Juliette. Adalind gave birth to their son, Kelly Schade-Burkhardt, in 2015, ("The Grimm Identity") and the three of them eventually moved to a safer residence at a loft. ("Lost Boys") Ironically, Nick was nearly shot and killed in the loft months later at the hands of Black Claw, but he was saved by the healing powers of a mysterious stick that he and Monroe recovered in the Black Forest of Germany after Nick had come to possess five of the seven keys.
