Grey was a altered chimpanzee and a follower of Koba who assists in the Bonobo's plans to annihilate the humans and to bring about a war.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Grey is featured early in the film as Caesar orders Koba to follow Malcolm and his group as they drive back to the colony of survivors. Grey, Koba, and Stone witness that the humans have a large armory with enough weapons, if intended, to kill every ape. He asks Koba if they should tell Caesar, but Koba tells Grey that he wouldn't and neither would he.
After Koba stole a gun from the armory and Carver's lighter, Grey sets a part of the ape city on fire and comes forth as Koba blames the humans for shooting Caesar and the burning of the city. Grey assists in stealing weapons from the armory and charges into battle with the apes. As he shows his excitement to Koba on a bus in the battle, he meets his end as the tank fires a rocket at the bus causing it to explode, killing Grey in the process.

Koba
Koba was Grey's friend and self-appointed leader.
Koba, Grey's friend and self-appointed leader.
Grey was seen to be very loyal to Koba and was one of the few apes who didn't enjoy the reality of Caesar's leadership. Like Koba, he doesn't appear to like the humans. Grey was one of the apes who was ordered by Koba to set the ape village alight and to pin it on the humans by dumping Carver's lighter, claiming it to be "evidence" that the humans were responsible. After this, Grey follows Koba into battle. Upon witnessing Grey's death, Koba becomes enraged and avenges his friend's death by hijacking the tank and killing the humans who were driving it.
Caesar
Caesar, Grey's king and enemy.
Caesar is Grey's king turned enemy.
Grey was one of the few apes to dislike the reign of Caesar - possibly because of Grey's strong allegiance to Koba. Grey willingly assists Koba in his plans to dethrone Caesar as well as to start a Human-Ape war. However, Grey was also terrified of Caesar, as he did not assist Koba when he was beaten by Caesar, for accusing him of loving the humans more than the apes.
Notes
- For a while, it was unknown what type of ape Grey was until a viewer noted the characters' position with the position of the actors in a behind-the-scenes photo of shooting the scene and realizing that Grey is a chimpanzee.
- Grey is grey like Rocket, hence his name Grey.
- He is likely the secondary antagonist due to him being Koba's only named follower.
