Steve "Grizzly" Bornell is a mercenary hirable from A.I.M.. He makes his first appearance in Jagged Alliance 2.
Official description[]
| "A bear of a man, Grizzly Bornell carries the big guns of battle with authority. Even though heavy weapons are his speciality, he is just as lethal when left empty-handed. He's a soldier's soldier--all guts and no need for glory. Not surprisingly, his combat exploits are almost always the talk of the plane ride home." - A.I.M. dossier - Jagged Alliance 2 |
| "Steve Bornell is so tough he doesn't just spit nails when he eats iron, he swallows rocks and craps out concrete bunkers. Never one to shy away from a fight, he can beat you to a pulp with his bare hands or take out the tank you're driving with a rocket launcher. And when you need a friend, Grizzly is the big cuddly bear in your corner." - A.I.M. dossier - Jagged Alliance 3 |

Notes[]
- Despite his initially average Marksmanship skill, "Grizzly" is worth taking into squad due to his exceptional Strength, low wages cost, and Explosives skill allowing to be trained quite fast. His Marksmanship can be quickly developed by the throwing knife-windom method with I.M.P. merc, just like his Explosives skill will increase with similar pace when using the landmine setting-disarming method.
- Bornell's exceptional Strength allows him to wield Spectra armor without encumbering him. With Marksmanship trained to at least 90, he performs outstandingly with light machineguns, M72 LAW, and Mortar.
- "Grizzly" handles two-handed firearms (shotguns, assault rifles, and machineguns) Hollywood-action-hero-style: when firing from a standing position, he does so with just one hand regardless of the selected fire mode.
