Gray Ringmarc (グレイ＝リングマーク) is Nightmare's subordinate in the Tower of Clover. He used to be an assassin and once wanted to assassinate Nightmare but decided against it after seeing how pitiful Nightmare was. He is a very skilled fighter so Ace frequently tries to "train" with him. He is a terrible cook (except for hot cocoa) and has no talent in the visual arts, but he seems to enjoy trying both anyway, although on failing he will get depressed, especially if others comment on how bad something turned out.
Appearance
Gray has dark blue hair and golden colored eyes. There is a small black lizard tattoo on the left side of his neck that can come alive and he is usually seen wearing a dark gray suit and jacket combination. There are golden accents on the outfit with his buttons and links as well as on the strap across his chest. The strap itself is brown and also has blue circle patterns along its length. His slacks are black as well as his shoes and the sheathes for his daggers resting on his forearms are brown. The outfit was of Nightmare's choosing and took time for Gray to get adjusted to.
Personality
Gray is very mature, particularly in comparison to so many other of the role players of Wonderland, which earns him respect from most everyone around. He is described as kind, and has a love for cute animals; he has rescued everything from cats to flying squirrels to a baby seal. Despite this, as a former assassin, Gray can be cruel if it comes to protecting someone, but does not like this side of himself seen, and will do whatever it takes to hide it. He smokes on occasion, mostly when stressed, and has never been able to break the habit because it is a kind of stress relief for him and he suffers from a lot of stress.
In the Country of Diamonds, Gray is an assassin, and he is a lot less mature and friendly than the Gray Alice knows so well. He is harsh and up front about what he thinks, as well as more cautious; he does not show Nightmare respect but views the other as a selfish, spoiled child. Deep down, however, he is the same Gray Ringmarc who loves cute things and cannot cook and is good at caring for people.

Trivia
- Gray has had the ability to hide his thoughts from Nightmare from the days when he was attempting to kill Nightmare.
- The lizard tattoo on Gray's neck apparently can sense things for him- it is sensitive to touch when not on his neck, and in his Joker End, Alice used this feature to tease him.
- He owns a pair of marionettes that he can use surprisingly well, which he assumes is because he may have used to entertain an unwell child with them.
- Gray is the only resident who's fighting skills can measure up to Ace. In Clover Gray is slightly better than Ace. After Ace reunites with Julius in Joker, Ace has a slight edge on Gray.
- Gray's knives are heavier than they look. Alice notes that they are solid iron.
- Clover Gray hates who he used to be before he joined up with Nightmare. Presumably, Clover Gray would hate Diamond Gray.
- Gray has Nightmare's medicine on him at all times. Presumably, this is so that he can dose Nightmare should the need or opportunity arise.
- Besides smoking, Gray likes to relax by cleaning and sharpening his knives.
