Ted Grant is a boxer, a former vigilante and the owner of the Wildcat Gym. He is the former mentor of the late Isaac Stanzler and the late Laurel Lance. He is known as Wildcat, and also nicknamed The Starling Southpaw, for being left-handed. Ted is intelligent, has a sense of justice, honor and good morals, becoming a vigilante to keep crime in the Glades in check.
Ted is also a highly empathic individual as he runs his gym to give his students chances to let off steam and control their emotions. He was able to sense that Laurel was in need of training due to her sister's death and that she was only lashing out during the sparring sessions. Despite his dislike of crime, killing his enemies is a line that Ted would never cross. Ted is also short tempered as he does not like being wrongfully accused. Ted is an accomplished and well known boxer. His name in the ring was Wildcat. Three years before the start of the series' present day, he became a vigilante. He watched over the Glades, patrolling the crime and poverty infested district of the city trying to keep crime at bay.
