Biography[]
Joining the Military[]
Sinclair joined the military and left his girlfriend, Sergine, as he went off for assignment. Three months later, he returned to find Sergine gone without a word. She left because she could not deal with the worrying that he left her with.[2]
Momentary Diversion[]
- "So let's blow off the literacy fund-raiser. Get Jessica drunk."
"I don't need a lot of help there."
"Then we'll take you home."
"It's okay. I don't wanna be the cause of stupid kids, too."
"See? Black humor." - ―Griffin Sinclair, Jessica Jones, and Trish Walker[src]
Sinclair gave his daily segment on the news. Later, Sinclair traveled alongside Trish Walker to the courthouse to bail out Jessica Jones, where he conversed briefly between the two women before being pulled away by a marrying couple for pictures. He and Walker met later at a party and they talked about the separation between work and love. He then left to talk to a friend. When he turned around, he saw Walker aimlessly walking to a spinning door. He stopped her and she said she saw someone she knew. They then left.[3]
Troubles With Trish[]
- "Griffin, why don't you go home? She might be there."
"Don't manage me, okay? I know she's in trouble." - ―Jessica Jones and Griffin Sinclair[src]
At 4 AM, Sinclair woke up to Trish Walker's phone ringing. Sinclair picked it up and talked to Jessica Jones, telling her that it is 4 AM and Walker is asleep. When they woke up, they went to lunch and met with Dorothy Walker. Sinclair left to give the family members some space. When Sinclair returned to the apartment, Walker was not there. He started to panic thinking she was in trouble. Jones suddenly knocked on the door and Sinclair explained what happened. She thought there was nothing to worry about, but Sinclair trusted his instincts and worried further.[4]
Sinclair found Walker at her apartment and angrily marched in, arguing with her. Sinclair calls it karma because Sergine was the same way that Sinclair had been last night. He asked if Walker was in trouble and she denied it, but worried that he was. Later, Sinclair entered the apartment to find Walker watching something with earbuds. He approached her, but scared Walker, causing her to punch him and pull a gun before realizing who he was. After apologizing, she left, leaving Sinclair to use a flash drive to download a list of names from her computer.[2]
He later had sex with Walker, who talked about her past taste in men and how this time it changed. She later left the room, so Sinclair called his friend to talk about his upcoming proposal to her.[1]
Proposal Party[]
- "So, I brought our friends and family together because, well, I want you to feel pressured. And because your answer means too much to me to leave any wiggle room. Fortunately, we only have to do this part once. I ask, you answer."
- ―Griffin Sinclair to Trish Walker[src]
Sinclair called Dorothy Walker to inform her of his plan to propose. Dorothy's job was to bring Trish Walker to the location. Sinclair then called Jessica Jones, claiming that Walker was in trouble. When Walker showed up, music started playing and Sinclair arrived, dropping onto one knee. He asked the surprised Walker to marry him just as Jones arrived. She gasped and told him thank you. Seeing it as a "yes," he kissed her as they partied. Later, he asked Walker if "thank you" meant "yes." She told him she was not sure, and decided to break up with him instead.[5]
Return to Work[]
- "I'm reporting from the Aleppo Citadel war zone, where Syrian forces have launched a full-scale offensive after three days of heavy artillery and air strikes. Militant targets were in the besieged areas, with previous gains in the Sheikh Sa'eed neighborhood. Rebel forces on the ground have held the line around their stronghold. Though it may only be a waiting game at this point."
