Dulac is actually a psychopathic Grendel (one of the four titular Grendels of the story arc's title) who acts as the right-hand man and assassin for Renute , the leader of the New Orleans krewe. There is a prophecy that whoever is the heir to Charlemagne on the 800th anniversary of Hunter Rose 's death will become Rose's incarnation. Renute wants all the heirs to be killed, and sends Dulac after them. He murders Emile and Guillaume Batiaque , the more direct heirs. When Josef Mantovani is hired to solve the murders, Dulac tries to kill him too, but Mantovani uses his bionic hand to break Dulac's sword, and Dulac runs off.
