Character birthday

Axe. Jeremy Griggs gained the nickname "Axe" as a teenager when he and a group of friends in the sixth form formed a heavy metal band called Mechwarriors. Griggs wanted to take the band to ultimate rock stardom but his friends saw the band as a hobby and once A levels and university entrance exams began to loom, they voted to disband. Griggs was the only band member to disagree, and took their decision hard. He dropped out of school and went in search of fame and fortune as a rock star. It did not prove easy and Griggs found himself funding his lifestyle and efforts to be discovered by petty crime and drug dealing. Through dealing he met Dale Castle, an American singer, who fixed him up with some session work. Griggs was invited to join the Greenroom Society, Castle's crime and drug cartel which masqueraded as a union for entertainers. It was during a drug fuelled party that Griggs, stoned on cocaine, came up with the idea of a weapon disguised as a guitar. Castle loved the idea and commissioned his associate, Hazard, to build it for him.
