Biography
Early life
Not much is known about Captain Griggs, except of the fact that he is a senior security man at Belle Reve, where the candidates for Amanda Waller's intended Task Force X are held captive.
Under the Joker's thumb
- "You're so screwed."
- ―Harley Quinn[src]
While Task Force X goes on to stop Enchantress and her plan, the Joker found out Harley Quinn's location. So, he took up Griggs himself, one of Amanda Waller's henchmen and a security officer of Belle Reve prison, the clown then tortures him harshly which leads him into the facility where the nano bombs are made. After being dismissed by the Joker, Griggs is then in charge of handing a cellphone to Harley Quinn which can connect her to the Joker. Harley tells him, "You're so screwed", causing him to worry. He never finds out what she means however, as he is quickly escorted away by guards.
His ultimate fate is left unknown.
Personality
Captain Griggs is exceptionally cruel and sadistic, seemingly taking pleasure from tormenting his Belle Reve prisoners in various ways - notably feeding Deadshot with bread containing fingernails and rat feces, having Deadshot brutally pinned down and beaten after threatening him, as well as electrocuting and force-feeding Harley Quinn when she refused to comply.
However, he has a selfish fear for his own life, evidenced by Griggs' fear when Deadshot points a gun at him, and Griggs' terror after the Joker kidnaps and confronts him, which leads to Griggs relatively quickly breaking under Joker's torture, and agreeing to work for him as an undercover mole in Belle Reve.
He appears to watch pornography on his computer at work, given he told his fellow officers to erase his browser history, if Deadshot were to kill him.
