Nick Burkhardt

Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) is a homicide detective in Portland, Oregon who learns he descends from a bloodline of Grimms - hunters who fight supernatural forces. As a grimm, he has the ability to see beyond what normal people perceive, giving him the ability to see and sense supernatural beings. Nick's partner on the police force is Hank Griffin (Russell Hornsby), but after an encounter with reformed "big bad wolf" Eddy Munroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) he gains a sort of unofficial partner in the former "bad guy." Eddy helps Nick out with information on certain supernatural being which he himself has had run-ins with in the past, and sometimes offers guidance in dealing with things that go bump in the night.
