"funny, I remember everything from my old life, and yet, I have forgotten my name... I guess when no one doesn't even bother asking for your name, you start to forget it..."
-Old Gray when asked about his original name
Old Gray, the original name long since forgotten, and often regarded as being among the oldests mort in the Multiverse (though nowhere near the Entities age). He is an unknown, an enigma and given the fact that not many people know much about, if they know of him are minute in nature is the fact that he is the "Employer" of GMan, Dr. Ming, Robert, and Rosalind Lutece, Elizabeth, Booker DeWitt, and Zachary Comstock.
Everything about Old Gray, ranging from his abilities to his goals, are a complete mystery. What can be gleamed, largely from his proven and showed abilities and the outcomes of these goals, it appears that his ultimate goals largely involved the destruction of the Empire of the Combine Race and the eventually death of Emperor Yiloala Kutarukia. The manner in which he went about to ensure these two goals actually occur almost entirely involve a chain reaction of sorts of one minor event dominoed into much larger major events after the other, implying that the being have some kind of omniscience, omnipresence, and foresight that allows him to foresee events that's often centuries if not millennia from the point in which he or his varies 'employees' "budged" a particular event into a specific series of events that ultimately cumulate into a scenario he desires, whatever that may be. But these suggestions are entirely theory, as he and his 'employees' have done a number of things that often seem bizarre and questionable, some of which harmed Alliance war efforts just as much as it had Axis or Coalition. Yet, his actions do tend to lead to far greater harm to the Axis then it does the Alliance, so, to an extent, the Alliance regards him as some kind of aloof ally, but still keep him within arms reach as it were.

Having for saw the future of the several Keybearers in the Malica Universe would play an important role, he found something about their version of Kingdom hearts, studying the alternate versions of their paths and narrowed down to the Malica Verse being the most suitable universe for the role of turning the tide against the Combine. Gathering his 'employees' for a simply assignment to the Malica Universe and also to make sure they do not open Kingdom Hearts, not yet when it could make things more complicated by controlling the Combine Soldiers into capturing them and placed into cryo stasis to wait exactly 428 years without anyone knowing their location. Knowing they would never understand his actions, but knowing they were among their variants he has picked were the ones.
