"They say the real problem with Mr. Drew is that he never actually tells us little people anything." — Grant talking about Joey Drew, Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 3

Grant Cohen is the Chief Financial Officer at Joey Drew Studios. He is a man with a slight English accent mixed with a southern american one, he is the one who is responsible for Joey Drew Studios' finances. He is frustrated that Joey Drew's endless stream of ideas is costing the studio so much money.

In Joey Drew Studios Employee Handbook, Joey's excessive spending even reached the point where Grant even sent a memo regarding taxes. All he could do to keep employees from complaining about their underpaid workdays was to send such memos. He also wrote an annotation to a receipt to inform Joey Drew of his company's investments, warning him to manage his spending better to keep the company stable. Like most of the minor characters we never get to see what he looks like in other bendy media outside of the Bendy And The Ink Machine, its agreed that he does in fact have an ink form, but this is form is never seen too. Outside of bendy, he is never mentioned, he is not mentioned in the graphic novel and besides a note to Joey Drew in the hand book, he doesn't appear much anywhere else, inside of bendy, or more specifically its sequel The Dark Revival he is only mentioned in a single note from kay lee, and unlike in the first game with him having two audio logs, being the genius upstairs and indiscernible, he only has one in the dark revival being strange money and that's it.

Personality

Grant appears as a man who, like many other employees, is frustrated with Joey's methods of keeping the studio in good working order as well as expanding the studio. Seeing this sort of thing before has made Grant cynical as to whether Joey's next big project is worth the money it will cost, which also shows that he tends to complain about his workload in general. However, the pressure appeared to be too much for Grant, which shows that he cannot handle stressful situations very well.

Grant is described in Thomas Connor's letter as "mangy."

In-Game Appearances

Bendy and the Ink Machine

Chapter 2: The Old Song

Grant's name can be found on one of the coffins by using the seeing tool in the ritual room next to Norman Polk's coffin.

Chapter 3: Rise and Fall

Grant's audio log can be found inside the room behind the boarded door on Level 9, located to the left of the elevator. To access it, Henry needs to obtain the axe from Twisted Alice after she commands him to destroy the Bendy cutouts on Level K.

Grant remarks that Joey never tells the workers at the studio anything about the projects he has in mind. Though he promises that they'll get fame and fortune for it, Grant notes that he has to be the realist when it comes to making sure that the studio's budgets aren't blown out of proportion.

At the end of the tape, Grant mentions that Joey has a new top-secret project in mind, lamenting about how much it's going to cost.

Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders

Grant's second and last audio log is found inside his credited workplace, management office, from the beginning of the chapter. Playing his audio log will show the transcript labeled as "indiscernible" with Grant's name referred as "Unknown" instead, playing nothing other than Grant's intense muffles, painful hoarse screams, gagging sounds, and even the sound of glass breaking, referring to his transformation into an ink creature. Grant's ink form does not physically appear anywhere, leaving it entirely unknown what his current state really looks like.

Bendy and the Ink Machine Bendy and the Dark Revival Chapter 3: Rise and Fall "They say the real problem with Mr. Drew is that he never actually tells us little people anything. Oh sure, according to him there's always big stuff coming, adventure and fame and the like. But I'm the guy, see, who has to make sure our budgets don't go all out of whack just cause genius upstairs went out and got himself another idea. Speaking of which, and this is top secret, apparently Mr. Drew has another large project in mind now, and it ain't gonna be cheap." — Grant's audio log. Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders "[indiscernible]" — Grant's audio log of him transforming into an ink creature. Chapter 1: Drawn To Darkness "Well, uh, we hit rock bottom. No doubt about it. And, by all accounts, I don't even know how this studio is still goin' at all. Like, if you follow the money, you just hit a big ol' brick wall. Well, lemme tell you, blank ledgers, spare cash, you know, weird amounts that plain just don't add up. There's still income finding it's way into the books, but I can only tell you for the life of me, I can't figure out where it's all comin' from. Though, the obvious answer here is that Gent's privately pourin' in some funds. And truth be told, they really creep me out. Especially that Mister Gray... He doesn't seem to be motivated by money, but he sure as heck ain't tellin' us what he's REALLY after... 'Just can't trust someone like that." — Grant's Audio Log
