'''Gregor the Snail''' is a [[Case 53]] cape and a member of [[Faultline’s Crew]].

==Personality==
Erudite and insightful. He does not want to be anyone's burden or be an object for their pity. He values his colleagues in Faultline's crew, and feels a debt of gratitude to Faultline herself.<ref name="15.x">[[Interlude 5]]</ref>

Gregor has a habit of paying hundreds of dollars to have goods delivered to him rather that buy them himself. He once dismissed a delivery boy because he decided to spend the night with his girlfriend rather than take the money.<ref name="15.x">[[Interlude 5]]</ref>

[[Newter]] noted that Gregor sometimes went through philosophical phases.<ref name="15.x">[[Interlude 5]]</ref>
===Relationships===
====[[Shamrock]]====
Gregor and Shamrock started a relationship after she joined the team. They eventually married.<ref>“His wife probably likes it,” Sveta said, indicating Shamrock. - [[Polarize 10.5]]</ref>

====[[Faultline]]====
Gregor believed that Faultline wouldn't kill him even in self-defence. He was willing to give up a limb in the event it helped her past her [[Manton Limit]].<ref>“What if it had worked, you big lunatic?  What did you expect me to do to you?  Cut off your hand?  Kill you?”<br/><br/>“I thought perhaps my hand or my arm, at worst.  I do not think you would kill me, even in a moment such as that.  You have done much for me.  Even if it proved impossible to reattach, I would not say it is a very attractive hand,” he examined the hand he’d just used to strangle Faultline, “To lose it, for something you have been working on for a long time is not a regrettable thing.”  - [[Interlude 5]]</ref>

==Appearance==
Gregor is a bald man of average height,<ref name="5.1">[[Hive 5.1]]</ref> five feet and ten inches tall with the appearance of being morbidly obese. He has pale, translucent skin that reveals a "shadow" of his skeleton and organs; and a number of small, hardened, spiral growths scabbing his body like a bad case of acne.<ref name="Cast2">'''Gregor the Snail''' – As with Newter, his appearance was altered when he gained his powers.  Has translucent skin with some blister-like growths of shell, and is rather obese.  He spent much of his early career homeless, surviving with the cash he earned as a sometime enforcer for other groups in the city and a bouncer for clubs.  His powers let him create chemicals in his body and project them from his skin.  His bloated body is filled with thick, tarlike fluids and a soft cartilage-based skeletal structure. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast (in depth)]</ref> He's completely hairless, lacking even eyebrows and eyelashes. His fingernails are brown and rotten-looking.<ref name = "15.x"/>

His voice can have a slight or heavy<ref>“You sound so sure,” Gregor the Snail spoke, from behind Faultline.  He had a heavy accent.  European-ish, in the same vein as ''Moord Nag''. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/scarab-25-5/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.5]]</ref> accent, and he tends to speak very carefully. He's able to speak Icelandic as well as English, which may be the source of his accent.<ref name="15.x" />

Gregor has [[Case 53|a tattoo]] that looks like "the greek ‘Omega’ symbol, but upside down. This tattoo, maybe a stylized ‘u’"<ref name="5.1" /> is located on his upper arm.

==Abilities and Powers==
Gregor is able to concoct a number of chemicals within his stomach and project them through his skin.<ref name="Cast1">'''Gregor the Snail''' – An obese, monstrous parahuman working under Faultline, can generate slime from his skin, with a composition and effect of his choosing.  - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Cast (spoiler free)]</ref> He can make fire retardant foam, adhesives, lubricants, and strong acids.<ref name="6.1">[[Tangle 6.1]]</ref>

Gregor's unusual biology makes him noticeably more durable than normal humans.<ref name=":0">She brought her knees up into his back, but one might have had more success hitting a waterbed.  The effect was the same. Beneath his skin, which was tougher than one might guess, his skeleton, muscles and organs all sat in a sea of viscous fluids.  His skeleton, he’d learned, was more like a shark’s than a human’s.  It was a flexible cartilage that bent where bone would break, and healed faster than bone.  He’d been hit by a car and climbed to his feet shortly after.  Her kicks would not have much effect. - [[Interlude 5]]</ref>
