    He first appeared in Dragonfly in Amber as a sixteen-year-old English camp tag-along/soldier who chanced upon Jamie and Claire Fraser on the eve of the battle of Prestonpans. He made subsequent appearances in Voyager, Drums of Autumn, A Breath of Snow and Ashes and An Echo in the Bone, and showed up through a series of letters to Jamie and his family in The Fiery Cross. Grey is usually described as short (about five six), slight and good-looking, with fine-boned features. He had blond hair, "large, beautiful" blue eyes and a "beautiful" mouth. Grey's background changed as the Outlander series progressed. For example, his father was only an earl in Dragonfly in Amber, but by the time John Grey's own series appeared, his father had become a duke. The following is the description of John Grey's background collected from the more recent books, consisting mostly of Lord John Grey series. Born around June 1729, John William Grey was the second child of the Duke and Duchess of Pardloe, Gerard and Benedicta Grey. The couple's first child is John's elder brother, Harold. In addition to Harold, John had two other siblings -- half brothers from his mother's earlier marriage to Captain DeVane -- Paul and Edgar DeVane. John's godfather immediately enrolled John into the Beefsteak Club after his birth
