Gremlin wasn't one to be trifled with. One of the main reasons Finn Taylor's grandma—Frida Cameron—had been able to helm Peregrine Hall without much obstruction after Brian Taylor's death was due to Gremlin's help.
He was vicious and fiercely loyal to Frida Cameron.

"Don't you think it's dishonoring for Master Peregrine to go against a mere dog?" Gremlin sneered.
"Oh, is it not dishonoring for Gremlin from Peregrine Hall to save a dog then?"
"If you want to hit a dog, you should get to know its owner first. There's no way you're going to kill this dog today with me here."
In Finn Taylor and Gremlin's conversation, Quince Larson was no more than a mere dog.
Quince Larson was naturally fuming. 'I'm the eldest grandson of the Larson family and a renowned figure in San Francisco! How dare you people address me in this way?'
