Greg begins as a minor but memorable village mayor in Book 1, offering a handshake and thanks to Jason Asano and his companions. By Book 11, he has become a poignant absence in Jason’s life, remembered through quirky personal details like his ironic Monopoly collection and the running joke that he died without ever playing a hundred games. His posthumous presence underscores Jason’s deepening sense of loss and the way small, human memories persist even as the stakes of the series grow cosmic.
