Orson Grand, also known as Organ Grinder, is a character in Cyberpunk RED.
Biography[]
Orson Grand was a ripperdoc working at Savage Docs in Night City. The medtech specialized in limb and secondary organ replacement.
In 2044, during a Halloween party for a company, Orson dressed up as a clown thinking it would be funny. During the event, however, Grand had to go into emergency surgery, with no time to change his clothing. To his astonishment, the patient was Orson's brother, whose heart was giving out. He was the best person available to switch it out for a new one, and so he attempted to replace the heart while other organs began to shut down. Wearing the clown outfit didn't help, and as a result the operation went very wrong. Part of Orson's clown outfit got in the way, making him fall forward while holding a bonesaw whirred at full speed, severing his brother's spine. In just a few seconds, Grand had lost his brother and best friend since childhood. This incident broke him, causing him to leave his ripperdoc work and disappear.
A number of months after, Orson reappeared in the Night City scene wielding what he referred to as a "surgical chainsaw," having turned into a one of the Bozos and acting as Big Top's medical assistant. He also changed his name, instead being known as Organ Grinder. All his medical knowledge was put to use to cause mayhem and laugh about it.[1]
