Books character	TV character

Sergeant Grimes was a member of the Martian Marine Corps.

History

Sergeant Grimes was assigned duty aboard the MCRN Donnager, in command of a squad of Marines including Dookie and Mole.

Throughout the series

“We've gone too far” — Spoilers for "Season 1" follow.

After the occupants of the Knight are brought aboard the Donnager, Mole of Grimes' squad runs ID scans on them while Captain Yao and Lieutenant Lopez inspect the prisoners and the distress beacon that the Knight recovered from the Scopuli. When Holden challenges the MCRN officers to destroy the evidence, Grimes commands Holden to shut up and move.^[1]

Later, as the Donnager is under attack, Grimes catches up with Holden as he is confronted by an invader. She fires and severs the arm of that invader declaring that Holden would not have been able to fire the weapon he had threatened to use against his opponent because that weapon was keyed to the latter's suit. She says, "You're welcome." She maps the clearest route to the MCRN Tachi in the ship's hanger bay from the holding area that the rest of Holden's Canterbury crew had been trapped. She died protecting Holden and the others while they escaped in the Tachi.^[2]
