An aortic aneurysm (say a-OR-tik AN-yuh-rih-zum) is a bulge in a section of the aorta, the body's main artery. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Because the section with the aneurysm is overstretched and weak, it can burst.he wall of the aorta is normally very elastic. It can stretch and then shrink back as needed to adapt to blood flow. But some medical problems, such as high blood pressure and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), weaken the artery walls.
Hank Griffin is a homicide detective with the Portland, Oregon police force. He is Nick Burkhardt's partner and close friend. Like Nick, Hank is laid back and fair; they make excellent partners. He is a skilled detective and although initially unaware that Nick has a secret, he does know that Nick's ability to see something in people is uncanny, bordering on impossibly accurate.
Hank Griffin (played by Russell Hornsby) is Nick's homicide partner who, like Juliette, was not aware that Nick is a Grimm until Season 2. He is somewhat sarcastic at times, and has gone through at least four marriages by the time the series begins, but is nevertheless still Nick's best friend in the human world.osh Porter (played by Lucas Near-Verbrugghe) is the son of Roland Rolek Porter, who was a Grimm. Rolek Porter died in episode 65 (Season 3, Episode 21). Josh was tasked with giving Nick the Grimm tools and books owned by his father, after his father's death.
