Grant Ward

Grant Ward is a former HYDRA infiltrator in S.H.I.E.L.D. as a Level 7 operative. Abused as a child by his family, he wound up in prison until he was freed by John Garrett.

Garrett trained Ward personally and he became more loyal to him than to HYDRA. As an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was recruited onto Coulson's Team, pretending to be gruff and anti-social.

During the exposure of HYDRA hiding within S.H.I.E.L.D, he killed Victoria Hand. Despite harboring feelings for Skye, he followed all of Garrett's orders. When HYDRA lost the Battle at Cybertek, he was imprisoned by Coulson. He managed to escape many months later and rejoined HYDRA under Daniel Whitehall. However, he left the organization again after Whitehall's death along with Agent 33.
