In '' The Polish Boy '', he is a young captain and teach from the Battle School who attempts to recruit a young polish boy named John Paul Wieczorek. Ultimately, he gives up on the boy and instead helps arrange for the family to move to the United States under the assumed surname Wiggin, with the intention of one day returning to recruit the boy's son. During '' Ender's Game '' and '' Ender's Shadow '', he is a manipulative colonel who is in charge of the Battle School . He makes good on his earlier plan when he recruits John Paul's son, Ender . He forms Ender 's life and treats him as if he were a weapon, never giving Ender anything unless it would make him a more adept commander. He also never gave him help, even when Ender was fighting with Bonzo Madrid . Graff's conscience is existent, though, and there are several passages in the books where he fights his idea of what is moral and amoral, in order to make Ender a fighting machine. Following the final battle, Graff is Court Martialed for his actions in leading the Battle School. He is cleared of all wrongdoing. Later on, he's given the role of Minister of Colonization, and becomes one of the allies of Peter Wiggin and Bean in their struggles against Achilles De Flandres . He is also portrayed as a much more caring person, and more importantly, a strong advocate in establishing Peter as the true Hegemon over Earth. |
