Grant Ward (Framework)

"I would hate for you to think that I'm anything like the Grant Ward you knew over there."

- Grant Ward (Framework)

Grant Ward is a virtual recreation of the real-world person of the same name inside the Framework. A HYDRA agent tasked with finding and capturing Inhumans, he became a double agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. after discovering that his partner and girlfriend Skye was a latent Inhuman.

Recruited by Victoria Hand
"Well, when i got that offer, I took it. I was serving time. Arson, first degree. Pretty sure my life was over. That's when someone came to me." "A SHIELD agent? What was his name?" "She'd laugh that assumed it was a guy. Her name was Victoria Hand. She was the first person to tell me I could be a good man."

Personality
The Framework version of Grant Ward shared many of the traits of his counterpart, however, in this reality Ward wasn't picked up by John Garrett and groomed to be a HYDRA agent, and was instead released by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Victoria Hand, who was the first person who said he could be a good man, and as time passed, it was the Framework version of Quake who made Ward believe it. As a result, this version of Ward has a clear disdain for what his counterpart did outside the Framework, saying to Daisy that he would hate to be seen as anything like the Grant Ward she knew as well as apologizing to Jemma Simmons for the all the hurt he caused. Daisy, on her par, said to this version of Ward that she hadn't previously understood the non-Framework version of him right up until she met this version of him within the framework, and with Daisy now admitting that there had been some good in the non-Framework Ward after all.
