The Man in Grey answered to a group he referred to as the [[Great Higher-Up]]s. Like himself, he considered them to be “evil”.
{{main|The Man in Black}}
The Man in Grey was once [[the Man in Black]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'') As he once confessed to [[Professor Wogglebug (925th Universe)|Professor Wogglebug]], the Man in Grey had difficulty recalling this earlier existence, openly wondering: “I swear my robes were a lot darker than this… when did they even become grey?”. As a result he was unsure of what his real name was, or his original species; he didn't know if he was mortal or not, whether he was human, or how many hearts he had. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lovie Dovie Stuff (short story)|Lovie Dovie Stuff]]'') He did know enough to be keen to keep any association between himself and his darker-robed counterpart a secret; he did gave some awareness of the Man in Black's activities, reacting meaningfully to the mention of the name of “[[Ninth Doctor (Third Universe)|Fred]]”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'')


The Man in Grey possessed an unclear but clearly significant relationship with the similar-looking entity known as [[the Man in Black]]. He found their visible resemblance an embarrassment, however, and was willing to go to significant lengths to ensure it was not made public. He had some awareness of the Man in Black's activities, reacting meaningfully to the mention of the name of “[[The Doctor#In the Third Universe|Fred]]”, although it was not clear whether this was second-hand knowledge or if he had access to the Man in Black's memories. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'')
=== Setting up the M.F.S. ===
In his new existence, the Man in Grey answered to a group he referred to as the [[Great Higher-Up]]s. Like himself, he considered them to be “evil”, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lovie Dovie Stuff (short story)|Lovie Dovie Stuff]]'') and he found the sight of them terrifying. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lovie Dovie Stuff (short story)|Lovie Dovie Stuff]]'')


=== Setting up the M.F.S. ===
After discovering that [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|a young woman]] had gained the ability to sense the location of anything and anyone across [[the Multiverse]], the Man in Grey tracked her down and offered her a job as the sole employee of a “[[Multidimensional Finders Service]]”, answering phone-calls on the [[Red Interdimensional Telephone]] from across the Multiverse, helping people who needed help finding something or someone. He offered her a salary of £5000, leading to her accepting. In addition to the “R.I.T.”, he also bought [[M.F.S. office|an office]] for her to use. With his funds running short by this point, he was only able to afford a fairly cheap [[toaster]] for the office. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There (short story)|The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There]]'') He stayed at the M.F.S. office at night, apparently having no other home. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Workplace Reunion (short story)|Workplace Reunion]]'')

On Valentine's Day 2023, the Man in Grey recounted an occasion when he tried to get the Great Higher-Ups to understand that he was “unable to accept [[Glarded funds]] because [his] bank account [was] in a [[Tax Clode]]”, only for the Higher-Ups to keep sending him such funds anyway. The Man in Grey states that this caused him to “wonder if they knew anything about [[Necronomics]]”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lovie Dovie Stuff (short story)|Lovie Dovie Stuff]]'')
