I was watching the film Dogma the other day and this came up:
"METATRON
That's the problem with you people - you need every-thing clarified. No leaps of faith w hatsoever. Alright - you want the whole secret origin? Here goes: Back in the old days, God was vengeful and hot-tempered, and his wrath was bore by the Angel of Death - name of Loki. When Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed? That was Loki. When the waters wiped out everything with the exception of Noah and his menagerie? That was Loki. And he was good at what he did. But one day, he refused to bear God's wrath any longer.
BETHANY
Why?
METATRON
Because he listened to his friend - a Grigori by the name of Bartleby.
BETHANY
Grigori?
METATRON
One of the choirs of angels. They're called Watchers. Guess what they do?
BETHANY
So they're like Guardian angels?
METATRON
Exactly like that, but different."
End of quotes
I think this sheds a little light on Father Grigori. I doubt Valve chose the name of a monk that just happened to be a name of the choir of angels.
The Grigori were known to watch humanity and give assistance when needed. Maybe that's what Father Grigori will do in the game. Watch Gordon and give him assistantance when it's needed. Or maybe he watches the Combine and has been observing them.

Sorry if this has been posted before. But discuss away if it hasn't.
