Personality
As a Brownie, Gray Walls took delight in playing pranks towards the host of the home he inhabited. However, he found the most delight in pranks that were malevolent, such tripping the inhabitants as they were going downstairs, leaving nails sticking out of the floor, leaving the bathroom floor slippery, things that would lead to injury and death.

Ten years after the Walshes' abandoned the home he was driven into further madness and became obsessed with finding someone to prank.

History
Gray Walls had been living in the Walshes home for some time and at some point one of the inhabitants pitied him, causing him to rebel rather than leave. In doing so he began to use pranks that were outright dangerous, ruining the lives of the family.

The Silver Yarn
The short story, War At The Walshes' , has Gray Walls kidnap and imprison Petra in order to have a new master to prank, sealing her inside and barring the windows so she couldn't escape. He would try to force her down a staircase with jagged pieces of wood, making her trip with the intention of falling onto them, clean after he made a mess only to dirty things up again, until finally she couldn't go on. Frustrated, he prepared to hit her with a vase until Rust Eyes appeared to reclaim her.

The two brownies fought until Rust Eyes stabbed him with an iron candlestick, causing him to vanish. His home is destroyed afterwards.
