"Consider it done. Merry Christmas." - Griff to Lex Luthor, Lexmas

Griff was a political operative paid to dig up the dirt on people. In 2006 he was paid by Lex Luthor to dig up the dirt on Jonathan Kent while he was running for state senate.

[edit] Season Five

When Jonathan Kent was running for state senator, Lex hired Griff to make up a phony story about Jonathan and dig up the dirt on him and spread it around. Lex had agreed to wait 24 hours before Griff would do anything, shortly after Lex was shot.

Lex later agreed to have Griff do what he had to to in order to destroy Jonathan's chance at winning. Griff later found some evidence to take down Jonathan. Lionel found Griff and paid him a lot of money for the envelope; Lionel then burned it.

Lex hears news that Griff's body was found in Suicide Slums and questions Lionel about it. Lionel shrugs off the accussation stating that it is a dangerous neighbourhood and homicide is common.

[edit] Trivia

Adrian Holmes, the actor who plays Griff, later returned to Smallville in Season 9 to play the character of Basqat.
