Dr. Ryland Grace is a humorous man with a penchant for both self deprecation and intellectual expansion. He is great with children, possibly because of his own immaturity. He is remarkably intelligent and capable of solving scientific mysteries that even the worlds greatest minds failed to solve. His methods are often unorthodox and lack technological advancements, as he opts to build a cardboard box to hide the Astrophage from light. Grace is fascinated by the unknown and the universe. Grace lacked bravery.
