Appearance
Gray the Ninelives is a 7 foot 5 inch bulky muscular humanoid cyborg,wearing black leather or a vinyl makeshift jumpsuit with studs or bearings. His mouth devoid of lips,has a mostly vertical orientation with small thin teeth. His head and neck when stretched somewhat resemble a snake or worm. Being a cyborg, Gray's exterior design indicates that he is not exactly human and is missing some human anatomy such as a nose.

Personality
Gray is taciturn and expresses little to no facial expressions. Being a type of cyborg,Gray is restricted to the control system within, and therefore has no actual personality.

Biography
He is one of the Gung-ho-Guns sent to attack Vash's home. In the manga, he is sent along with Leonof the Puppet-Master. Having received reports that Wolfwood, known secretly as Nicholas the Chapel of the Gung-ho-Guns, was traveling with Vash and killed Rai-Dei the Blade, Gray attacks Wolfwood, accusing him of being a traitor. He wields two large gauntlets with built-in grenade-launchers. He proves nearly indestructible, easily shrugging off continuous machine-gun fire from Wolfwood's Punisher gun. Wolfwood eventually blasts Gray with a rocket and discovers Grey is actually formed from nine dwarfs controlling a bio-mechanical suit from the inside, allowing them to keep fighting until all nine are dead. Wolfwood kills all but two of the dwarves, who are captured. They briefly escape to fight one last rampage but are disarmed and stopped by Vash. The two dwarves later turn over their coin to Meryl and Milly, hinting at the absolute necessity that Vash collects them all if he is to face Legato.

The anime version is a mute cyborg whose only remaining human part is his brain, which is deeply encased in armor Wolfwood destroys his upper body after using acid to melt enough of the armor. However, this fails to deactivate the cyborg as his brain is still intact located by his hips. He then destroys one of the plants powering the ship with a missile hidden in his legs.
